JOHN Stewart

2nd Lord of Lorn

Father , died: 1463

(114) JOHN, SECOND LORD LORN (S.), had by his wife, or first wife, three daughters married to Campbells of Argyll, Glenorchy, and Ottar.

He had also a son, Dougal DOUGAL , 1st of Appin, 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.
Arms: of second Lord Lorn on Seals, 1448 and 1463.-1. Per fess, the base counter compony, in chief a buckle. 2 and 3. A galley in full sail 4. Per fess, the chief counter compony, in base a garb (Laing).
