Colbán, Earl of Fife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mormaer Colbán of Fife ruled Fife, 1266 – 1270/2. He was probably the son of Maol Choluim II. Not much is known about his life and reign. Colbán's death is disputed, and depends on what evidence one interprets. G.W.S. Barrow gives 1272, but Bannerman gives 1270. He married Anna, the daughter of Alan Durward, with whom he fathered Donnchadh III of Fife. The latter succeeded him upon his death.
