Elizabeth (died Nov 1429), younger daughter and coheir of Duncan, 8th Earl of Lennox (beheade d 1425). [Burke's Peerage]
-----------------
Elizabeth, the Countess Isabel's other [than Margaret] sister, m. about Feb 1391/2 Sir John Stuart of Darnley, co. Renfrew (slain 12 Feb 1428/9, at the siege of Orleans). She d. in No v 1429, leaving a son and heir, Sir Alan Stuart of Darnley (slain 1439), who had a son and he ir John, who eventually succeeded as Earl of Lennox.
The heirs themselves contended and their partisans in recent times have fought over the quest ion of the seniority of the two sisters Margaret Menteith and Elizabeth Stuart. That Margaret was the elder is proved (a) by the grant of the Countess Isabel in 1451 to the Friars Preachers of Glasgow made with consent of Margaret "widow of the late Lord Rusky"; and (b) by the decision in favour of her heir, John Haldane, by the King, the Lords of the Council and other barons of the realm, 12 Jan 1475/6, as mentioned below. Margaret's heirs were entitled each to one-half of one-half of the earldom, the elder of them, John Haldane, having right to the seniority; the heir of Elizabeth was entitled to the other half. The inheritance for which they fought (but not the title) was actually in enjoyment of the King's favourite, Andrew Stuart, Lord Avondale, eldest (illegitimate) son of a son of the Duke of Albany and the countess Isablel, till his death in 1488, when John Stuart, Lord Darnley, was recognized as Earl of Lennox.
