- John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox
John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox (c. 1490-4 Sep 1526, Linlithgow, West Lothian) was a prominent Scottish magnate. Stewart was the son of Matthew Stewart, 2nd Earl of Lennox, and Elizabeth Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, 1st Lord Hamilton.
On 19 January 1511 he married Anne Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl, and Eleanor Sinclair.
The Earl of Lennox had led an army to Linlithgow with the intention of liberating the young King James V from the pro-English Douglases. He was defeated by a smaller force led by the Earl of Arran at Linlithgow Bridge. He survived the battle and was taken captive only to be subsequently murdered by John Hamilton of Finnart. Lennox was succeeded by his son Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox, the father of Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley and grandfather of James VI of Scotland.
