also known as John of Lord, or John of Argyll [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v5p39]

the most accurate pedigree of the family is that given at CP VIII p143, but it contains errors, the most notable being the failure to distinguish between John MacAlan - who succeeded his uncle Ewen between 1334 and 1338 and died about 1355 - and his son and heir John, the husband of Janet Isaac. Andrew B. W. MacEwen is presently writing an article on these generations for Notes and Queries of the Society of West Highland & Island Historical Research [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v12-250(37)]

revived the power of his clan, a member of the "Highland Party" who later made peace with David II and attended councils and parliaments in 1365-69 [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v06-101]
