Synopsis

This book focuses on the history of the Lennox, an earldom in Scotland, from the twelfth century to its partition in the fifteenth century. Drawing on underutilized archival research, the author debunks the mistaken notion that the Lennox was forfeited in 1425 and reveals the intricate legal battle over its inheritance. The book provides insights into Scottish feudal law, the nature of impartible rights, and the complex dynamics of noble families vying for power and status during a turbulent period of Scottish history. By unraveling the true fate of the Lennox, this book sheds new light on the social, political, and legal landscape of medieval Scotland.
