General Notes:
"SIR JOHN STEWART of Darnley was already a knight in 1386, and in 1419 entered the service of France under John Stewart, Earl of Buchan. After the battle of Beauge, in which the English were defeated and the Duke of Clarence was slain, he received a grant of the Seigneurie of Concressault in Berry ; and later was granted the Seigneurie of Aubigny in Berry, by King Charles VII. of France, 26 March 1423. He was taken prisoner at Crevant on 31 July 1423 by the English, but was ransomed. After the defeat of Verneuil in 1424, the Scots in the French service were formed into a bodyguard of the King. In January 1426-27 the King granted him, by letters patent, the Comté of Evreux in Normandy. He continued his military sevices, and in February 1427-28 was rewarded by being permitted to quarter the Royal Arms of France with his paternal coat. He was, in 1428, envoy from the French King to James I. of Scotland to ask for succour, and to demand the hand of his daughter Margaret for the Dauphin. With his brother William he was killed at the siege of Orleans, 12 February 1428-29, and was buried in the Chapel of Notre Dame Blanche in the Cathedral there."
