TWO ELIZABETHS?

Two daughters of the 1st Earl of Lennox are named as Elizabeth in volume 5 of Scots Peerage, the eldest and the youngest. It may be that in practice they were called by another version of Elizabeth, and their name has been rendered as the same name in Latin.

Elizabeth married Sir John COLQUHOUN 11th of Colquhoun and 13th of Luss, son of Sir Humphrey COLQUHOUN 10th of Colquhoun and 12th of Luss and Helen ERSKINE, about 1480.^{1 2} (Sir John COLQUHOUN 11th of Colquhoun and 13th of Luss was born about 1461 and died in 1536 ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"Elizabeth, married, about 1480, to Sir John Colquhoun of Luss."

from Scots Peerage (vol 5)



"Sir John married, about the year 1480, Elizabeth Stewart, daughter (apparently the youngest) of John Lord Darnley, afterwards first Earl of Lennox, of the name of Stewart, by his spouse Margaret, daughter of Alexander second Lord Montgomerie, ancestor of the Earls of Eglinton; a matrimonial alliance by which he was enabled to make valuable additions to his estate of Luss. From Matthew second Earl of Lennox, his wife's brother, Sir John Colquhoun received a charter, dated 17th April 1496, of the lands of Auchingache, Larg of Glenfruin, Auchenvennel, Stuckiedow, and Blairhangane, all in the earldom of Lennox and shire of Dumbarton, in liferent, as the dowry of his spouse, Elizabeth Stewart. On
the 6th of April 1498, Sir John Colcmhoun and Elizabeth Stewart, his spouse, obtained from King James the Fourth a charter of the ten pound lands of Garscube, with the mill thereof, in the same earldom and shire." (pages 72 and 73)


Sir John was twice married. He married first, as has been seen before, Lady Elizabeth Stewart, fourth daughter of John first Earl of Lennox, of the house of Darnley. By this lady he had four sons and four daughters." (page 84)
