About Maurice 'the Younger' Menteith, 3rd Earl of Menteith Notes ◦1 - Of the original line of the Earls of Menteith only three are known— Gilchrist, Murdoch, and Maurice. On the death of Earl Maurice, about the year 1226, his title and estates descended to his daughter, Isabella, the wife of Walter Comyn, second son of the first Earl of Buchan. 2 - Muireadach II of Menteith, or Muiredach âOg, (also written as Murethach, Murdoch or Maurice), ruled 1213-1234, is the third known Mormaer of Menteith. Muireadach gained the Mormaerdom by challenging the rights of the current Mormaer, his elder brother, also called Muireadhach, hence Muireadhch Mâor (in English, "the elder"). The case apparently went to arbitration, and the king decided on the right of Muireadhch âOg. On December 13, 1213, Muireadhach Mâor resigned the Mormaerdom, taking lesser lands and titles in compensation . Muireadhach âOg was one of the seven mormaers present at the coronation of King Alexander II of Scotland in 1214, and Muireadhach accompanied the king in the funeral cortáege of his father and predecessor, King William of Scotland. Muireadhach âOg appears again in the company of the king in 1224, when he appears on a charter issued at Stirling granting rights to Paisley Abbey. In a document dating to 1226, Muireadach is referred to as "Sheriff of Stirling". He had no legitimate sons, but two daughters, Isabella (Iosbail), who married a Comyn, and Maria (Máaire), who married a Stewart; both became countesses in their own right. Muireadach was dead by January, 1234, when his successor appears with the comital title for the first time.
