Narrative

[robert stuart.ged]

"Natural Son of John" "Legitimized in 1463"
Endeavored after his father's death to recover the Lordship of the Lorn
by force of arms until a compromise was affected 1469, between him and his
uncle, Walter Stewart, by which it was agreed that Dugald should retain the
Appin estates in Upper Lorn, and forego his claims to Lordship of Lorn.

---------------------------------
From the book "The Stewart's of Appin":
Pages 75 & 76: "Dugald Stewart ... he resided at Ardveich till 1463,
when his father sent him a message directing him to come to Dunstaffnage with
his mother. They set out as a bridal party, with pipes and banners,
accompanied by a party of Dugald's kinsmen from the Lorn, and some of his
mother's friends, the Maclarens. ... They clearly show that the party had set
out for the purpose of the marriage, and Dugald's consequent legitimation. ...
The tradition of the Stewart's is that the murder was committed when Sir
John was on his way from the Castle to the chapel, which is close at hand,
where the marriage was to be performed.
The murderers fled instantly after Sir John was stabbed; and Dugald
would at once have pursued them had he not be restrained by the priest, who
pointed out that no time was to be lost in having the marriage completed, as
Lord Lorn was to all appearance mortally wounded. The rite was accordingly
performed, the priest assisting the dying man to place the ring on the Bride's
finger, and the ceremony being so public that no doubt of its due completion
was entertained in Argyllshire. Meantime, however, Alan M'Coule and his
accomplices had time to effect their escape."
