  === Life Sketch ===
  Hextilda of Tynedale (Hextilda FitzUchtred) was the daughter of
  Uchtred, Lord of Tynedale, and his wife Bethoc ingen Domnaill Bain, the daughter of King Donald III of Scotland, also known as Donald Bane.
  
  Hextilda married twice, her 1st husband was Richard Comyn, Justiciar of Lothian. Their marriage date is reported variously as 1144, 1145, 1150. Together they had 7 children:
  
  - John, died 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.
  - Idonea
  - Ada
  - Christien
  
  Richard died in 1179 and Hextilda remarried. She became the 2nd wife of her 2nd cousin, Malcolm (Máel Coluim) Earl of Atholl, son of Maddad, Earl of Atholl. Hextilda and Malcolm did not have any children.
  
  With her marriage to Richard Comyn Hextilda became Lady of Northallerton Castle and Baroness of the Honour of Richmond.
  With her marriage to Malcolm of Atholl she became Countess of Atholl.

  === again ===
  Isabella of Atholl was countess or ban-mormaer of Atholl, Scotland, from the death of her father Henry in 1211 until the accession of her son Padraig in 1236–7.
  
  It has often been thought that, after the death of Thomas of Galloway in 1232, she married again, this time to the powerful political figure Alan Durward; this however, rests solely in the fact that Alan styles himself "Count of Atholl" in a few documents between 1233 and 1234. However, as Matthew Hammond has shown, this more is more likely to refer to fact that Alan, as a grandson of Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl, probably sought to inherit the province.
  
  === Note ===
  She was widowed c1179.
  
  Hextilda's 2nd husband was Malcolm, 2nd Earl of Atholl, son of Maddad, Earl of Athol, who is said to have been her 2nd cousin..
  
  Hextilda's 3 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.
  
  The date of her death, like her birth, varies greatly, from 1149-1189.
  
  (* Bethoc of Scotland is listed, by many websites and sources, as daughter of Donald Bane, King of Scotland, however there are glaring mistakes in these claims. Donald Bane was born c1034 and Bethoc not until c1100, making him about 66 years old when he fathered her ( + he appears to have died c1099). Some sites get round this by stating Bethoc was born c1066, which looks good, until you realise that her daughter, Hextilda, was not born until 1122, making Bethoc about 66 when she gave birth!)

   Publication: Name: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTLAND.htm#MalcolmIIIdied1093A;
   Note: DONALD (-in prison Rescobie, Forfarshire 1099, bur Dunkeld Abbey, later transferred to Isle of Iona). Matthew Paris names him as brother of King Malcolm, and records that he was elected by the Scots to succeed his brother in 1093 as DONALD III "Bane" King of Scotland[280]. Florence of Worcester records that "Dufenaldum regis Malcolmi fratrem" was elected king after his brother's death but that "filius regis Malcolmi Dunechain" expelled "patruum suum Dufenaldum"[281]. According to Florence of Worcester, he expelled all the English from the Scottish court[282]. "Douenald filius Conchat Regis" made donations "cum ceteris regibus…Duncano rege Edgaro et Alexandro et David fratribus"[283]. This charter is undated and the reference to the four brothers all as kings indicates that it is probably spurious. Florence of Worcester records that King Donald was deposed in 1094 by his nephew Duncan, with help from the English and Normans[284]. The Annals of Inisfallen record that "Domnall son of Donnchadh” killed “Donnchadh son of Mael Coluim king of Alba” in 1094 and “took the kingship of Alba”[285]. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "his uncle Donald…again usurped the kingship" after the death of "Duncan, King Malcolm’s illegitimate son" and reigned for three years[286]. Florence of Worcester records that "clitorem Eadgarum" led an army to Scotland in [1097] to place "consobrinum suum Eadgarum Malcolmi regis filium" on the Scottish throne after expelling "patruo suo Dufenaldo"[287]. William of Malmesbury records that King Duncan II "was murdered by the wickedness of his uncle Donald" and that the latter was "dispatched by the contrivance of David, the youngest brother and the power of [King] William [II]"[288]. He was imprisoned. The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 records that "Donald mac Donchat" was captured "a Edgar mac Malcolm", blinded, died in "Rosolpin" and was buried "in Dunkelden", transferred to Iona[289]. m ---. The name of Donald's wife is not known. King Donald III & his wife had [one child]: a) [BETHOC (-[1150/70][290]). 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[291]. However, in the Great Roll, John Comyn traced his descent from Bethoc, daughter and heiress of Donald[292]. Bethoc’s first marriage is confirmed by a charter of King Henry III dated 1261 which confirmed to John Comyn the land inherited from Hextildis, wife of Richard Comyn and daughter of Uhtred son of Waltheof[293]. Her second marriage is referred to by Young but he does not cite the corresponding primary source, which has not yet been identified[294]. 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. m firstly ([1085]) UHTRED Lord of Tynedale, son of [295]WALTHEOF & his wife ---.

It is suggested that the supposed parentage of Hextilda should be treated with caution. “R. Cumin” donated property to Hexham Priory, with the consent of “uxoris meæ Hextildis”, by undated charter which names “fratrem meum Walterum”[326]. "Ric Cymyn" donated "ecclesiam de Lyntunruderie" to Kelso monastery, for the souls of "Henrici comitis dni mei et…Johis filii mei quorum corpa apud eos tumulant", by charter dated to [1160], witnessed by "Hextild sponsa mea, Od filio meo…"[327]. "Ricardus Cumin" donated [Slapfeld] to Holyrood Abbey, with the consent of "Hestild uxoris mee et heredum meorum", by charter dated to [1166] witnessed by "…Odinello et Simone filiis meis…"[328]. Hextilda married secondly (after 1179), as his second wife, her second cousin, Malcolm Earl of Atholl. Her second marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Hextildis comitissa de Eththetela” donated property to Rievall Abbey, for the soul of “domini mei Richardi Cumin”[329]. "Malcolmus comes de Athoil" donated "ecclesiam de Dul" to St Andrew’s priory by undated charter witnessed by "Dunecano comite de Fif, Hextilda comitissa sponsa mea…Henrico et Dunecano filiis meis…"[330]. The Liber Vitæ of Durham lists (in order) "Hextild, Willelmus, Odenellus, Simon, Ricardus Cumin…", and in a later passage "Malcolmus filius Mal. et comes Athodlie, Hextilda filia Ucthredi uxor eius…"[331]. Richard Comyn & his wife had [six] children: 1. JOHN Comyn (-before [1160], bur Kelso Abbey).

The parentage of Robert Comyn has not yet been identified. He may have been the donor’s brother-in-law.] 6. [IDONEA Comyn . "Willelmus Comyn comes de Buchane" granted "Ydonis sorore mea in…maritagium Blith et Ingolneston" to "Ade fil Gilberti" by undated charter[400]. Given the death of Richard Comyn in [1179], and the marriage of William Comyn (which brought him the earldom of Buchan) in "1210 or before", Idonea must have been older than usual at the time of this marriage. Another possibility is that "sorore" in this document is an error for "filie", and that Idonea was William’s daughter rather than his sister. "Christiana quondam filia Ade filii Gilberti" donated "totam terram meam de Ingolistum" to the church of Glasgow, for the souls of "dni Ade filii Gilberti patris mei et Ydonee matris mee et…dni Henrici filii et heredis mei et uxoris sue et puerorum suorum…dni Walteri Cumyn et dni Alexi comiti de Bochan et dni Johis Comyn…" by undated charter[401]. m ADAM, son of GILBERT & his wife ---.]

19. Title: Donald III of Scotland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_III_of_Scotland#Descendants;
    Note: Donald III (Medieval Gaelic: Domnall mac Donnchada; Modern Gaelic: Dòmhnall mac Dhonnchaidh),[1] and nicknamed "Donald the Fair" or "Donald the White" (Medieval Gaelic:"Domnall Bán", anglicised as Donald Bane/Bain or Donalbane/Donalbain) (c. 1032–1099), was King of Scots from 1093–1094 and 1094–1097.[2] Early life Donald was born in 1032, during the reign of his great-grandfather King Malcolm II. He was the second known son of the King's grandson, Duncan. Malcolm died when Donald was a baby, at age 80, and Donald's father became king. King Duncan I however, perished in 1040 when Donald was still a boy, killed by Thane Macbeth, yet another grandson of King Malcolm II, who usurped his place as king. Following his father's death, Donald went into hiding in Ireland for 17 years, for fear that he would be killed by Macbeth. His elder brother, Malcolm, went to England. It was during this time that Malcolm's grandfather, Crinan of Dunkeld, who was married to Malcolm II's daughter, was killed fighting Macbeth. When Malcolm grew to manhood, he overthrew Macbeth and became the new king. Donald was 25 years old at that time. Donald's activities during the reign of his elder brother Malcolm III (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada) are not recorded. It appears that he was not his brother's chosen heir, contrary to earlier custom, but that Malcolm had designated Edward, his eldest son by Margaret of Wessex, as the king to come.[3] If this was Malcolm's intent, his death and that of Edward on campaign in Northumbria in November 1093 (see Battle of Alnwick (1093)) confounded his plans. These deaths were followed very soon afterwards by that of Queen Margaret. Kingship John of Fordun reports that Donald invaded the kingdom after Queen Margaret's death "at the head of a numerous band", and laid siege to Edinburgh with Malcolm's sons by Margaret inside. Fordun has Margaret's brother Edgar Ætheling take his nephews to England to keep them safe.[4] Andrew of Wyntoun's much simpler account has Donald become king and banish his nephews. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records only that Donald was chosen as king and expelled the English from the court.[5] In May 1094, Donald's nephew Duncan (Donnchad mac Maíl Coluim), son of Malcolm and his first wife, Ingibiorg Finnsdottir, invaded at the head of an army of Anglo-Normans and Northumbrians, aided by his half-brother Edmund and his father-in-law Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria. This invasion succeeded in placing Duncan on the throne, but an uprising defeated his allies and he was compelled to send away his foreign troops. Duncan was then killed on 12 November 1094 by Máel Petair, Mormaer of Mearns.[6] The Annals of Ulster say that Duncan was killed on the orders of Donald (incorrectly called his brother) and Edmund.[7] Donald resumed power, probably with Edmund as his designated heir.[8] Donald was an elderly man by then, at around 62 years old, and without any known sons, so that an heir was clearly required. William of Malmesbury says that Edmund bargained "for half the kingdom", suggesting that Donald granted his nephew an appanage to rule.[9] Edgar, eldest surviving son of Malcolm and Margaret, obtained the support of William Rufus, although other matters delayed Edgar's return on the coat-tails of an English army led by his uncle Edgar Ætheling.[10] Donald's fate is not entirely clear. William of Malmesbury tells us that he was "slain by the craftiness of David [the later David I] ... and by the strength of William [Rufus]".[11] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says of Donald that he was expelled,[11] while the Annals of Tigernach have him blinded by his brother.[12] John of Fordun, following the king-lists, writes that Donald was "blinded, and doomed to eternal imprisonment" by Edgar. The place of his imprisonment was said to be Rescobie, by Forfar, in Angus.[13] The old ex-king would die at the age of 67 in 1099, in prison. The sources differ as to whether Donald was first buried at Dunfermline Abbey or Dunkeld Cathedral, but agree that his remains were later moved to Iona. Descendants Donald left one daughter but no sons. His daughter Bethoc married Ucthred (or Hadrian) de Tyndale, Lord of Tyndale.[14] Uchtred and Bethoc had a daughter, Hextilda, married Richard Comyn, Justiciar of Lothian. The claims of John II Comyn, Lord of Badenoch to the crown in the Great Cause came from Donald through Bethóc and Hextilda.[15] Ladhmann son of Domnall, "grandson of the King of Scots" who died in 1116, might have been a son of Donald.[16] He may equally have been a son of Domnall, son of Máel Coluim who died in 1085, who may in turn have been a son of Malcolm III or of Máel Coluim mac Maíl Brigti, Mormaer of Moray. Bethoc's second husband was Radulf of Nithsdale.

Married as her 1st husband Richard Comyn, Justiciar of Lothian. Her descendant John II Comyn, Lord of Badenoch made claim to the crown in the Great Cause based upon his descent from Donald through Bethóc and Hextilda.

21. Title: Richard Comyn From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Comyn;
    Note: Richard Comyn (d. c 1179) was a Scottish noble, the nephew of William Comyn.[1] Richard was probably born between 1115 and 1123. In 1144, William Comyn gave him Northallerton Castle, which he had re-built a few years earlier. Shortly after, he received the castle and honour of Richmond as part of his uncle's settlement to renounce to Durham bishopric.[1] In 1145, Richard was married to Hextilda, the daughter of Uchtred, Lord of Tynedale, and his wife Bethoc ingen Domnaill Bain, the supposed daughter of King Donald III of Scotland, although the chronology is suspect. 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). Children Richard had four sons by Hextilda: John, died 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.
