James Irvine Robertson Writes
With the abdication of John Balliol in 1296, Comyn probably had the strongest claim to become King of Scots but, for the
good of the country, he agreed to support his cousin Robert Bruce and went to meet him for a conference at the church
of the Minorite Friars in Dumfries. There his rival stabbed him in front of the altar.
This villainous act cleared Bruce's path to the throne and, in the bitter civil wars that followed, he ensured the complete
destruction of the power and influence of every member of the Comyn family.
Many fled to England.
To history Bruce was a hero; the Comyn ordered women to take off their clothes at harvest.
If, for once, virtue had triumphed and King John Comyn had taken the throne, Scotland's story would have been
interestingly different. A Highland and Gaelic dynasty would have ruled the nation. No Stewarts; no James VI and I, and
no Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Only in the far north did a junior branch of the Cumming family manage to survive. Their progenitor was Robert, uncle to
the murdered Red Comyn, and he died by his nephew's side. His descendants were the Cummings of Altyre on the
border of Badenoch between the rivers Spey and Findhorn.
