General Notes:
"Suspicion, however, fell strongly upon Walter Biset (whom Bower erroneously calls William), Lord of Aboyne and other lands in the north. He had entertained the King and Queen of Scotland at his Castle of Aboyne, and by her Majesty's testimony established an alibi, but it was declared that if he were not present in person, yet his insignia, his knights, and his armed forces were there with his consent. Biset procured ecclesiastical censure to be pronounced against the murderers, but his motives were suspected, and after a important meeting of clergy at Perth, the nobles joined in a complaint against the crime. Alexander Comyn, afterwards the Earl of Buchan, and John, the Red Comyn, his nephew, in fact, rushed to arms and harried the neighbourhood of the Bisets so ruthlessly that King Alexander intervened. Walter Biset, John Biset, his nephew, and, according to Bower, a William Biset, were tried at Forfar, and again at Edinburgh, and were banished from Scotland, after taking a vow to make pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Walter Biset, however, went to England, where he fomented a
contest between the two countries, but peace was made at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1244."
from Scots Peerage
