 DONALD (- died in prison Rescobie, Forfarshire 1099, buried Dunkeld Abbey, later transferred to Isle of Iona). Brother of King Malcolm, and elected by the Scots to succeed his brother in 1093 as DONALD III "Bane", King of Scotland 1093-1097 [278].  m ---.  The name of Donald's wife is not known.   Cawley’s Medlands  King Donald III & his wife had one child, Hextilda's mother: 

 BETHOC (-[1150/70][288]). 
The sources are contradictory regarding the supposed child of King Donald.  The proofs relating to the claim to the Scottish throne in 1291 made by "dñi Johannis Comyn" name "Gothrik" as the son of "Dovenald filius Duncani filii Erici", and trace John Comyn´s descent from him[289].  However, in the Great Roll, John Comyn traced his descent from Bethoc, daughter and heiress of Donald[290].  
Altogether the chronology for Bethoc is stretched almost to beyond credibility.  Her supposed father King Donald Bane must have been born before 1040, and yet his daughter is supposed to have been living more than 100 years later, and her supposed second husband living in the last quarter of the 12th century.  It is suggested that this supposed descent of Hextilda, wife of Richard Comyn, from King Donald Bane should be treated with caution.

Richard Comyn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Comyn (d. c 1179) was a Scottish noble, the son of William Comyn and Maud Bassett.

Richard was probably born between 1115 and 1123. In 1144 William Comyn gave him Northallerton Castle, which he had built a few years earlier. The following year, Richard was married to Hextilda, the daughter of Uchtred, Lord of Tynedale, and his wife Bethoc ingen Domnaill Bain, the daughter of King Donald III of Scotland.

In Scotland, he acquired the position of Justiciar of Lothian: he witnessed 6 charters for King Malcolm IV and 33 for King William I. He was captured with King William in 1174 and was a hostage for him in the Treaty of Falaise. He gave, with Hextida's consent, lands to the monks at Hexham, Kelso and Holyrood. He died between 1179 and 1182. Hextilda remarried to Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl (also called Malcolm).

[edit]Children

Richard had four sons by Hextilda:

John, dead between 1152 and 1159, and buried at Kelso Abbey.

William, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan.

Odinel (also called Odo), a priest, witness to Richard's charters to religious houses in 1162 and 1166.

Simon, mentioned in the 1166 charter to the Augustinians in Holyrood.

and three daughters:

Idonea

Ada

Christien

His daughters were witnesses to a donation made by Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl and their mother Hextilda to the Church of St Cuthbert in Durham.
