  • Notes 

    • Britain's Royal Families has her as Elizabeth, daughter of Duncan, 8th Earl of Lennox by Helen, daughter of Gillespic Campbell of Lochawe.

      Clearly the right "person" was the daughter of Duncan, 8th Earl of Lennox. Wikipedia and The Scot's Peerage call her Isabel, whereas Britain's Royal Families has her as Elizabeth. The Scots Peerage says that Duncan definitely had a daughter called Elizabeth, but that she married Sir John Stewart of Darnley, whilst Isabella married Murdoch Stewart. I'm disinclined to follow Britain's Royal Families and will instead follow The Scot's Peerage and call her Isabella.
