About Alan II, Earl of Menteith
Alan II, Earl of Menteith (d. after 23 August 1315) was a Scottish nobleman.
Life Menteith was the son of Alan, Earl of Menteith and Marjory or Margery, and is first noted in an order dated at Carlisle in 1307 to provide foodstuffs "to the two sons of the Earl of Menteith, and the son of the Earl of Stratherne". He evidently was an English prisoner, but he either escaped to the Scottish camp or was exchanged for an English nobleman held by the Scots.

He died some time before 1 August 1323, on which date his uncle Muireadhach III witnessed a charter as Earl of Menteith.
Marriage and issue Alan II, Earl of Menteith married an unknown lady, by whom he had a daughter Mary II, Countess of Menteith.
