He fought for Henry III of England at the Battle of Lewes (1265), with John Baliol the elder and Robert Bruce the elder[8]; he was captured[9]. In 1267 he was given license to crenellate Tarset Castle in Tynedale (by present-day Lanehead, near Hexham), by Henry III[10]; Tarset had previously been held by Walter Comyn[11].

1. JOHN Comyn "the Red" (-1277).
m secondly ([1265/70]%29 ALICE [de Lindsay of Lamberton, daughter of WALTER de Lindsay & his wife Christiana ---] (-after 18 Nov 1279). Records of pleas and assises at Werke in Tyndale dated 18 Nov 1279 name "Alicia widow of John Comyn whose lands are worth 400 marks yearly" among "ladies who are and ought to be in the king·Äôs gift"[425]. Balfour Paul suggests that her parentage is confirmed by her possession of Ulseby and her son John Comyn (presumably indicating John Comyn "the Black") being guardian of Sir Alexander Lindsay, son of her supposed sister Margaret and David de Lindsay[426]. However, the chronology suggests that John Comyn "the Black" was the son of John Comyn·Äôs first wife. Considering the birth of her supposed father Walter de Lindsay in [1231/33], it is unlikely that Alice could have married John Comyn before [1265] at the earliest. John Comyn & his [first] wife had ten children (it is possible that some younger children were born from John Comyn·Äôs second marriage, but the difficulty of estimating their dates of birth makes it difficult to identify which children these may have been]:

His first wife was called Eva, and appears to have been the mother of at least his oldest children.[17]
His second wife was named Alice and referred to in one document after his death as Lady Alice de Roos (Ros).[18] Scots Peerage has however suggested she might be a de Lindsay of Lamberton, because she and her husband possessed Ulesby, and also because John Comyn was once guardian to a related Lindsay.[15][19]
He is known to have had the following issue:
·Ä¢William of Kirkintilloch (d.1291), married Isabella Russell, daughter of John Russell and Isabella, Countess of Menteith; without issue.
·Ä¢John of Badenoch (d.1303), succeeded his father, married Eleanor de Balliol, daughter of John de Balliol and Dervorguilla of Galloway; had issue.
·Ä¢Alexander, married Eva, widow of Alexander Murray.
·Ä¢Robert, married Margaret Comyn, daughter of William Comyn of Lochaber; had issue.
·Ä¢John Comyn of Ulceby; had issue.
·Ä¢a daughter who married Alexander of Argyll; had issue. [15]
·Ä¢a daughter who married Sir William Galbraith, 4th Chief of that Ilk, Lord of Kyncaith; had issue.[20]
·Ä¢a daughter who married firstly Richard Siward and secondly Galfrid de Mowbray; had issue.[21]
