	The Earldom of Menteith
		THE district of Menteith, situated partly in Perthshire, partly in the county of Stirling, is celebrated for the beauty of its scenery and its traditionary and historical associations.
		Comyn, who became Earl of Menteith in right of his wife, was one of the most powerful nobles in the kingdom, the leader of the national party, and one of the regents of the kingdom during the minority of Alexander III.
		The Earl of Menteith availed himself of the favourable opportunity to overthrow this unpatriotic faction, and suddenly seized the young king while he was holding a court at Kinross, rescuing him, as he said, from the hands of excommunicated traitors; and Alan Durward and the barons who supported him immediately fled to England.

	John Menteith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir John Menteith was born John Stewart in Ruskie, Scotland, around 1275 to Walter "Bailloch" Stewart, 5th Earl of Menteith, and Mary, 4th Countess of Menteith.
		In the "Relationes Arnaldi Blair", it is mentioned that in August 1298, Wallace, Governor of Scotland, with John Graham and John Menteith, and Alexander Scrymegour, Constable of Dundee and Standard-bearer of Scotland, acted together in an expedition into Galloway against the rebels who adhered to the party of Scotland and the Comyns.
		The English chronicler, Langtoft, states that Menteith discovered the retreat of Wallace through the treacherous information of Jack Short, his servant, and that he came under cover of night and seized him in bed.

		His son Donald, eighth earl, was taken prisoner in 1306, at the battle of Methven, in which his royal uncle was defeated, and did not regain his liberty till after the crowning victory of Bannockburn.
		As the Earl's eldest son, Andrew, had married into the powerful family of St. Clair, it was not to be expected that they would patiently acquiesce in a decision which deprived him and his children of their rights.
		Sir Thomas Maule, the head of the family at the commencement of the fifteenth century, fought under the banner of the Earl of Mar at the sanguinary battle of Harlaw, in August, 1411, along with the chivalry of Angus and Mearns, and was among the slain.

		The early Earls of Menteith were Stewarts (or at least married to a Stewart) and the later ones were Grahams.
		The first to adopt the surname Menteith was Sir John Menteith of Rusky, brother of Alexander, Earl of Menteith and the second son of Lady Mary Menteith and Walter Stuart.
		Dun, in his book A summer at the Lake of Menteith, asserts that all who bear the surname Monteith, however spelt, are descendants of this Sir John.

	Appendix 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Since the Earldom of Menteith was, in the original patent of nobility, reserved for the heirs-male of the original Graham grantee (i.e., a Graham of unbroken descent in the male line), the Allardice claim, as heirs in the female line of the Grahams, did not give them a viable claim to that earldom.
		The Grahams of Menteith, as heirs to this David, were said to be ever conscious of this royal descent, to the extent that a later Earl of Menteith quartered the royal arms on his coat of arms.
		Since the crown of Scotland, unlike the Earldom of Menteith, could and did descend through the female line, if David Earl of Strathearn is considered the rightful King of Scotland, the kingdom would descend through his daughter to the Grahams, and through the male line of the Grahams to the Allardices.

		Although the Earl had now been deprived of the office of Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, James, unwilling to come to an open rupture with his too-powerful subject, appointed him Warden of the West and Middle Marches, and confirmed to him and his descendants, by deed of entail, the earldoms of Wigton and Douglas.
