Mormaer of Lennox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mormaer or Mormaerdom of Lennox was the long-lasting native Mormaerdom in the High Medieval Kingdom of the Scots. The first Mormaer is usually regarded as Ailin I (also Alpin, or Alwin), but the genealogy of the Mormaers gives earlier names. The last Mormaer of the native line was Isabella, who married Muiredach Stewart, the Duke of Albany, and died in 1458. The recent work of Cynthia Neville and Michael Brown has made Lennox perhaps the best understood native scottish Mormaerdom.
