  • Notes 
    • Jean, natural daughter of James V by Elizabeth daughter of John, Lord Carmichael, but does not seem to have lived on very happy terms with her, as we find that John Knox, at the request of Queen Mary, endeavoured, on more occasions than one, to reconcile them after some domestic quarrels. Her majesty passed the summer of 1563 at the earl's house in Argyleshire, in the amusement of deer-hunting. His countess, Queen Mary's half-sister, having died without issue, was buried in the royal vault in the abbey of Holyrood-house.
