  • Notes 
    • 4th Chief (1426-1441): John, son of Duncan, married Jean, niece of Elizabeth Mure, first wife of King Robert II. He was witness to a charter granted in the year 1426. He died in the beginning of the reign of King James II, in 1441. There is little written about him, since he, along with all the Lennoxes, had incurred the king's displeasure. Duncan, the 8th Earl of Lennox, and Sir Murdoch Stewart, his son-in-law, and two of his sons were executed in 1425.
