It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Cu25 William de Comyn, 1st Earl of Buchan, Justiciar of Scotland d 1233, 2nd son
1 William obtained his earldom through his second marriage so that title passed to his eldest son by that marriage.
2 TSP reports that "The name of his first wife has not been ascertained" but adds in a note that she may have been a daughter of Robert Fitzhugh. TCP Buchan reports that William had 3 sons by his unnamed 1st wife: Richard whose son John became Earl of Angus through his wife, Walter who became Earl of Menteith through his wife and Sir John of Badenoch, grandfather of Sir John 'the Red' who d 1305. We follow TSP which disagrees with TCP in showing John of Badenoch as son rather than brother of Richard but does not show how John, Earl of Angus, fits into this family.

He was murdered by that Robert Bruce, after which the latter had himself crowned.
