Biography

Henry (Stewart) Stewart First Lord Methven is Notable.

Henry (Stewart) Stewart First Lord Methven is a member of Clan Stewart.

Henry Stewart (Lord Methven) was born abt 1495,^[1][2] he was the son of Andrew Stewart & Margaret Kennedy.^[3][4]

It is said by some, to have married a 'Lady Leslie' by whom he had a son.^[4][5]

1. John, d. at the battle of Pinkie 10 Sep 1547^[5]

He married next (or firstly), Margaret Tudor^[3] between 23 Mar and 2 Apr 1528.^[1][2][6][7] She obtained a dissolution of their marriage in 1537 but whether this was put in effect or not, the end of their marriage was over when she died at Methven on 18 Oct 1541.^[5] They had no issue^[2] or at least none that survived infancy.^[7]

After Margaret's death, he married his mistress Janet Stewart^[2] already the mother four of his children. ^[5] They had issue:

1. Henry. 2nd Lord Methven^[2][8]
2. Joan/Janet^[2][8]
3. Jean^[8]
4. Margaret^[2][8]
5. Dorothea^[2][8][9]

Henry was still living 10 Oct 1551 when Methven was granted to him anew but died soon after^[7] and was certainly dead by 9 Apr 1557,^[5]

Research Notes

• It is unclear whether Janet and Jean were one and the same. If so, then the marriage to teh Earl of Argyll did not take effect. If not, then she was the only child born after the marriage of the parents.

• The Peerage: Henry Stewart, 1st Lord Methven; cites Cokayne and Weir but no other reliabel source; claims he fought at the Battle of Pinkie but offers not source.
