John Lyon II was my 16X Great-grandfather.
Sir John Lyon, Knight. In the charter-room at Glamis there is a precept by Robert II addressed to the Abbot and convent of Dunfermline, charging them to enter John Lyon, son and heir of the deceased John Lyon, Knight, as heir of his father in the lands of Fothros and Schenevale. On 18 October 1388 the King issued a protection, taking John Lyon 'nepotem nostrum,' his lands, men, and whole possessions under his peace and protection, etc., and directing all his debtors to make payment to him of their debts without delay; thus avoiding the hardships which a grant of ward would have inflicted on the youthful heir. His name occurs as a witness to an instrument dated the 27 and 28 August 1392, taken upon the occasion of Christian of Brogan, an infected leper, wife to John of Allan, and sister and nearest heir to Henry of Brogan, Laird of Auchloun, coming to Aberdeen, and there resigning, with consent of her husband, to Sir David Fleming, son and heir of Sir Michael Fleming of Biggar, her right to the lands of Aucloun. He was knighted in or before 1404. On the 4 of December 1423 his name occurs in a list of the hostages to be delivered in secuity of the ransom of King James I. A few days afterwards Sir John received a safe-conduct to meet the King at Durham, and there is little doubt he formed one of the company of Scots notables who conducted King James from Durham to his own dominions in April 1424, his son and successor Patrick taking his place as a hostage in England. On 24 February 1433 Sir John, for the better support of the mass founded at Scone by his father, granted an annualrent of forty shillings, payable out of his barony of Forgandenny.
His death is said to have take place in 1435. Being of the blood-royal he was interred at Scone, 'in sacello regum,' and when 'the house of Scone was built, and his tomb, with others, raised, there was found there some papers and tokens, with a staff of his own lengthunconsumed.;
He married his first cousin once removed, Elizabeth Graham, youngest daughter of Euphemia, Countess Palatine of Strathearn, and her husband, Sir Patrick Graham of Dundaff and Kincardine. The common ancestor was King Robert II, and the bridegroom being a grandson of that monarch and the bride a great-granddaughter.[The Scots Peerage VIII:269-270]
