John (Stewart) Stewart of Innermeath Lord of Lorn is a member of Clan Stewart.

Sir John Stewart of Innermeath.

He died the 26th of April 1421."^[1]

The statement of a very complicated marriage dispensation on James Paul, pg 2 is critical for the general establishment of the line between King Robert I and this John Stewart.

"John (Sir), Lord of Lorn in right of his wife (her sister and coheir having married his younger brother Robert, who resigned his share of Lorn in exchange for the lands of Durrisdeer 1388); inherited from father feudal Barony of Innermeath; Ambassador to England and France 1412; married Isabel of Argyll, daughter and coheir of Eoin, Lord of Lorn, Chief of Clan Dougall (heir of the local dynasts of Argyll), and died 26 April 1421.

He was styled Lord of Lorn by 1407.^[2]

Research Notes

Unknown Stewart, wife of Allan MacDonald, was originally attached to this profile as a daughter of Sir John Stewart.The source cited on Allan MacDonald's profile for Unknown's parentage is here, which actually states that Allan "...married a daughter of John, last lord of lorn and brother of Dugald, lord of Appin." John (subject of this profile) was the first Stewart lord of Lorn; his grandson was the last Stewart lord of Lorn. The only lord of Appin named Dugald was the first lord of that title, who died shortly before 1501. This Dugald does not appear to have a WT profile. If the source being cited is correct, then Unknown could not possibly have been a daughter of (this) John Stewart. Consequently, Unknown is being removed from this profile.
