Biography

Malcolm (de LUSS) Luss was born in Scotland.

"Malcolm of Luss succeeded his father. Sir John. He received from Malcolm fifth Earl of Lennox a charter confirming to him the lands of Luss as they had been granted to Gillemore by Maldouen third Earl of Lennox. The charter is without date, but it must have been made between the year 1292, when Malcolm fifth Earl of Lennox is supposed to have succeeded his father, and the year 1333, when he fell at Halidonhill".

" To all who shall see or hear this writing, Malcolm Earl of Levenax, son and heir of the deceased Lord Malcolm Earl of Levenax, everlasting salvation in the Lord: Know ye all that we have inspected and diligently listened to a charter of Gilmore, son of Maldouen, made upon a donation and grant of Lord Maldouen, late Earl of Levenax, of his lands of Luss, with their pertinents, not obliterated, not cancelled, nor vitiated in any part; which charter we, for us and our heirs, as freely, fully, quietly, and honourably, as the said charter in itself by all and in all points testifies and bears, confirm, and for us and our heirs ratify forever: which charter does not contain or specify any homage in it, but for the sake of respect to us and our heirs, we will and concede to Malcolm of Luss, son and heir of Sir John of Luss, and his heirs, all his foresaid lands of Luss, with their pertinents, for simple homage only, he and his heirs rendering it thence only to us and our heirs..."^[1]
