His father was John I Comyn, Lord of Badenoch. John II Comyn married Princess Elanore de Balliol of Scotland, daughter of John I de Balliol of Barnard Castle, sister of King John of Scotland.

• Web Reference: John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch from the Undiscovered Scotland.
John III Comyn was also known as Sir John Comyn, John the Red, or just the Red Comyn, to distinguish him from his father, also John Comyn, who was referred to as the Black Comyn. The Black Comyn had been one of the 13 "Competitors" for the Crown of Scotland who had been subject to adjudication by Edward I of England in 1292. The Red Comyn's mother (and the Black Comyn's wife) was Eleanor Balliol, the eldest daughter of John Balliol, who had been appointed by Edward I to the throne of Scotland at the end of the competition. To complete this complex web, in the early 1290s the Red Comyn married Joan de Valence, daughter of William de Valence, a cousin of Edward I.

Alinora married Sir John Comyn Knight, son of Sir John Comyn Knight and Alicia. (Sir John Comyn Knight was born in 1247 in Badenoch, Inverness-shire, Scotland and died in 1303 in Badenoch, Inverness-shire, Scotland.)
