What is clan comyn?

The Clan Comyn, also known as Clan Cumming, was a Scottish clan that originated in Northern Scotland around the 12th century. The clan played a significant role in Scottish history, with many of its members holding important positions of power and influence throughout the centuries.

The clan's name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "cam-shron," which translates to "crooked nose," and was possibly derived from the physical appearance of one of the clan's early chiefs.

The Clan Comyn was closely associated with the Scottish Royal Family and played an important role in the Wars of Scottish Independence during the 13th and 14th centuries. The clan was divided into several branches, with some members supporting the English crown while others remained loyal to the Scottish King.

Despite their important role in Scottish history, the Clan Comyn was eventually defeated and disbanded in the 14th century after their last chief, John Comyn, was killed by Robert the Bruce in a dispute over the Scottish crown.

Today, there are still some descendants of the Clan Comyn, and they continue to preserve their Scottish heritage and traditions.
