Maol Choluim, Earl of Angus

Maol Choluim, Earl of Angus

Maol Choluim, Earl of Angus, ruled roughly 1214 - 1240, is the fifth attested post-10th century Mormaer of Angus, and the last Gaelic ruler of that province.

He married Mary, daughter and heiress of Humphrey de Berkeley. They had one son, Richard, and a daughter, Isabel who married three times:

# John Comyn (d. 1242)
# Gilbert de Umfraville, Baron of Prudhoe, Northumberland, and
# Richard de Dover, Baron of Chilham, Kent and a grandson of King John of England (Dover died between 1247 - 1261), with issue.

When Maol Choluim died without a living male heir in c.1240, the Mormaership passed to his French successors.
