Narrative

Lennox, previous creations: The Earldom descended to Maldouen's grandson (Malcolm, 4th Earl), then to the latter's son (another Malcolm, 5th Earl) and grandson (Donald, 6th Earl). In about 1364, however, the 6th Earl's daughter Margaret inherited the title as Countess of Lennox in her own right. She married Walter de Fasselane (modern Faslane), who seems to have been recognized as Earl of Lennox in right of his wife since in about 1385 the two of them made the dignity over to their eldest son Duncan. This son, the 8th Earl, who had not legitimate sons, got a regrant of the title from Robert III extending the line of descent to his daughter and her husband, though why this was thought necessary, given that the Earldom had already descended in just such a manner only a generation previously, is uncertain. One can only assume that the view of Earldoms in Scotland was changing about this time. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2402]

EARLDOM OF LENNOX [SCT] (IV)
MALCOLM, EARL OF LENNOX [SCT], grandson and heir, being son and heir of the Malcolm. He was Earl certainly in 1270. In July 1272 he had from the Crown a grant of free forestry in a large tract of the lands of the earldom. He was one of the barones regni Scotie (fourth on the list) who pledged themselves to support the right of Margaret, the "Maid of Norway," to the throne of Scotland. In 1290 he was one of the Scottish nobles who, in the Assembly at Brigham, gave their assent to the marriage of the said Margaret to Prince Edward. He probably died between this date and June 1292.
