This is not clear to me: "In 1306 during the Wars of Scottish Independence, Duncan MacDuff, Earl of Fife was as a minor, held by Edward I of England at the coronation of Robert the Bruce as his ward while Duncan's sister, Isabella MacDuff, placed the golden circlet upon King Robert's head.[5] As a result, when she fell into the hands of King Edward's army,she was imprisoned in a cage which was suspended from the walls of Berwick Castle".13:03, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Origins of the Clan
The last sentence says "Gille-michael MacDuff was one of the witnesses to the great charter of David I of Scotland to Dunfermline Abbey.". This is not true. The text says "gillemichel mac duf" ie merely that Gillemichel was a man whose father was called duf or something which could be contracted to "duf". See https://archive.org/details/registrumdedunfe00bann/page/4/mode/2up. In the next charter (on page 7) there is an entry for "Duncan Comes" Freuchie (talk) 19:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, we're missing the information that the clan is named after a particular and royal "Duff", King Dub&#91;h&#93; mac Mael Coluim of Alba (ca. 928–967). Source: . Be glad IA has this in their e-library, as the book is very expensive.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  16:32, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
