This week, we will cover various notable figures, including the famous clans that rose to further power during Alexander II’s reign and other significant family members related to the king. These individuals and families were not merely passive subjects of the crown; they were active participants in the shaping of Scotland’s destiny, each with their own ambitions, loyalties, and legacies.

By understanding the roles and actions of these nobles and clans, we can gain a clearer picture of the forces at play in Scotland during the early 13th century. This exploration sets the stage for the forthcoming conflicts and the eventual struggle for Scottish independence.

So, without further ado, let’s jump back into the late 12th and early 13th centuries and explore the noble families of Scotland. Our journey will begin with Marie de Coucy, the second wife of Alexander II and mother of Alexander III. Marie’s life and actions had a profound impact on the kingdom, from her influence at court to her role in ensuring the succession of her son.
