  • Notes 
    • The last of the Celtic Earls of Lennox.
      When Duncan, the last Celtic Earl of Lennox, his son-in-law, and two of his grandsons were executed by James I in 1425, there were some who considered that the MacFarlanes were the legitimate heirs to the Earldom. However, Iain (John), the 7th Chief,didn’thave enough political power to make the claim stick.  Thetitle was given by the Crown to John Stewart, Lord Darnley. Over a period of nearly fifty years, the MacFarlanes sought to oppose the Stewarts, but they proved too powerful.  In1486, John Stewart finally overrode all opposition, becoming the ninth Earl of Lennox. About two years later, Andrew MacFarlane the 10th Chief,married Stewart’syounger daughter, forging a new alliance. Thereafter, the MacFarlanes followed the new earls of Lennox in most of the major conflicts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
