• Notes

  Second earl of Lennox. "When he was fully invested in his earldom is unknown, but the first notice of him is a charter by himself to the church of Kilpatrick of the lands of Cochnach and others. This charter is of uncertain date, and can be fixed only as between 1182 and 1199, the year when Jocelyn, Bishop of Glasgow, died, who was present at the granting. Maldouen and Malcolm, two of the granter's sons, are witnesses. Between 1208 and 1214 he, as son and heir of Alwin, Earl of Lennox, bestowed the church and the church lands of Campsie upon the church of Glasgow. He also, at some unknown date, granted to Maldouen, Dean of Lennox (perhaps a kinsman), the lands of Luss, which afterwards came by marriage into possession of, and still belong to, the ancient family of Colquhoun. It is not certain when the second Earl Alwin died, but it was apparently before 1217, when his son Maldouen seems to have been Earl." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below]
