  Matilda, Countess of Angus
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  
  Matilda of Angus was the daughter of Maol Choluim, Earl or Mormaer of Angus and as his only child, heir and countess of the province in her own right. It was arranged that she should marry John Comyn, but his death in France in 1242 meant that a new husdand was needed to control the dispersed Earldom. The man selected was Gilbert de Umfraville, a Norman baron based in Northumberland. He too died soon afterwards, in 1245, but not before Matilda had borne a son to succeed to the Earldom. Matilda disappears from records after 1246, so it is likely her son, Gilbert de Umfraville, 1st Earl of Angus, succeeded in infancy.

   Note: i) MATILDA of Angus . She succeeded her father as Ctss of Angus, suo iure. The "Complete Peerage" records her first marriage without citing the corresponding primary source, although it is implied from the Chronicle of Melrose which records the death in 1242 of "John Cumin earl of Angus…in France." The Chronicle of Melrose records that "the lord Gillebert de Humframville took the countess of Angus to wife" in 1243. A writ dated 31 Mar "29 Hen III," after the death of "Gilbert de Umfranvill alias de Umframvill" assigned dower to "Maud late the wife of the said Gilbert." "Matildis comitissa de Anego…in…viduitatis mee" confirmed its churches to Aberbrothoc by undated charter witnessed by "dno Gilb de Haya, dno Johe de Haya, dno Willmo de Haya, dno Nigello de Mubray, dno Willmo Juuene de Haya…." "Matild comitissa de Anego" confirmed donations of "terre in territorio Kerimor" to Aberbrothoc, made by "Gillecrist…comes de Anego abavus meus…Gillecrist proavus meus…Malcolmo pater meus," by undated charter witnessed by "Dno G. de Haya, Dno Johe de Haya, Dno W. de Haya…Dno W. iuvene de Haya, Dno Malcolmo de Haya…".
