Philip de Mowbray[edit]

Philip de Mowbray was governor of Stirling Castle and held the castle for Edward II. Some sources claim he was at the Battle of Glen Trool on the English side but he was certainly not in command. — AyrshireNeil (talk) 00:27, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rcpaterson[edit]

What are you talking about? Mowbray was Scottish not English. He was commander of Stirling Castle for the English, he did not command the English force at Glen Trool. The Earl of Pembroke was in command. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.255.196.165 (talk) 19:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Red Comyn[edit]

Comyn was certainly an important figure, and a leading rival to Robert Bruce; but it is wrong to over-emphazize his claim to the crown. He was one of the weaker of the original Competitors of 1292.

Robert Bruce and the Black Comyn were not among the Competitors. Rcpaterson 22:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Black Comyn and Glentrool[edit]

I have serious worries about the factual integrity of this sketchy piece. As far as I am aware John Comyn, the father of the Red Comyn, died in 1303, and I can find no mention in John Barbour of any Comyn being involved in the Battle of Glen Trool. It was Mowbray, an Englishman, who was defeated in this encounter. Is there some other reference of which I am unaware; if so can I please know what this is a matter of urgency?

This page has now been completely rewritten, better, I hope, and certainly much more accurate. Rcpaterson 04:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
