• Notes

  Per Wikipedia: "Fergus of Buchan was the last native Gaelic Mormaer of B u c h a n , and only the third to be known by name as Mormaer. Fergus appear s t o h a v e h ad strong connections in Fife, and it is possible that his f at he r ( i f h e was his father) Colb�n was a Fifer. A charter issued by Fe r g us a p p ears to have survived. The charter is a feudal charter granting l a n d s t o a s ubordinate. The charter had a few witnesses with French name s , p r e s umably a phenomenon related to his Comyn connections. Fergus had n o m a l e h e irs, and married his only daughter Marjory to William Comyn, b ri n g i n g Gaelic control of the Mormaership to an end. On Fergus' death, B u c h a n b ecame the first native mormaerdom to pass into the hands of a fo r e i g n f amily."
