Lord Lorne
For the child ballad, see The Lord of Lorn and the False Steward.
Lord of Lorne is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created twice. First it was created for Robert Stewart, son of John Stewart, ambassador to the English king, by a daughter of Eoghan de Ergadia, Laird of Latharna. He was succeeded by his oldest son John, member of the Scottish Parliament. In 1463 the second lord died and his younger brother William became 3rd Lord Lorne. William Stewart resigned the lordship on 30 November 1463 and was created 1st Lord Innermeath on the same day. The next creation was for Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll, the husband of Isabelle Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 2nd Lord Lorne and niece of William Stewart, 1st Lord Innermeath, in 1470.
The Mormaerdom or Kingdom of Lorne was a lordship in High Medieval Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the word lord:
“It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls’ curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.”
—Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865–1922)
