• Notes

  In a power struggle, by 1261, Isabella was arrested and deposed from rulership of the province on charges of poisoning her late husband. (Research):Isabella may have had one son by Walter Comyn, a man named Henry who witnesses a charter of Maol Domhnaich, Mormaer of Lennox. However, if this Henry was their son, he did not live long enough to inherit from his parents.
