MACLAREN, Unnamed ¹

   User ID: P240

Unnamed married John STEWART 2nd Lord of Lorn, son of Robert STEWART 1st Lord of Lorn and Joanna STEWART.¹ (John STEWART 2nd Lord of Lorn was born about 1405 and died on 20 December 1463 ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"He (John Stewart) had also a son, Dougal (No. 115), by a lady named MacLaren. Lord Lorn went to church to marry this lady, and was there assassinated by the contrivance of the Campbells, whose interests would have been imperilled by the existence of legitimate male issue. The Campbells say the marriage did not take place, and consequently Dougal was illegitimate. Dougal's descendants say that Lord Lorn was killed after the wedding, in which case Dougal should have been third Lord Lorn."
