| Malise Graham, 1st Earl of Menteith (b c1407, d before 19.05.1490) | |||||||||||||||
| Malise inherited the title of Earl of Strathearn/Strathern from his mother but King James I conferred that title upon his uncle Walter and replaced Mailse's earldom with that of Menteith (often spelled "Monteith"). Malise's first wife is named as Ann Vere by BE1883 (Graham of Strathern , etc) but as Jane de Rochford by TSP (Menteith). BE1883 identifies Alexander, John and Walter as being by Ann Vere. We show that Euphame was by her as well but that is an assumption. We show the second John and Walter as by his second wife following an indication to that effect by TSP. | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Ann de Vere (dau of Henry de Vere, Earl of Oxford) or Jane de Rochford | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Alexander Graham (dvp before 19.04.1471) | ||||||||||||||

| m. (c24.01.1455-6) Isobel Erskine (dau of Thomas Erskine, 2nd Lord) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Alexander Graham, 2nd Earl of Menteith (d before 27.02.1536-7) | ||||||||||||||
| This Alexander is shown by BE1883 and some other sources as being son of the 1st Earl's son Alexander rather than of Patrick. We follow TSP. | |||||||||||||||

| i. | William Graham, 3rd Earl of Menteith (d before 23.01.1544) | ||||||||||||||

| (i) | William Graham, 7th Earl of Menteith, Earl of Strathern, 1st Earl of Airth & Menteith (b 1589, d 1661) | ||||||||||||||
| Showing what may be described at best as a foolish want of tact, Earl William (previously high in royal favour, having been appointed President of the Privy Council, etc), following an initially successful attempt to reclaim the earldom of Strathern (see note above), made issue of the argument that his descent from David Stewart, Earl of Strathearn (elder son of King Robert II by his second marriage) gave him a stronger claim to the throne than King Charles I whose descent from King Robert II's eldest son by his first marriage was open to doubt because of uncertainties of the legality of that marriage (see note at the top of Stewart02). The King showed who was boss, deprived the Earl of his offices, forced him into internal exile, and reduced the precedence of the 300-year old earldom of Menteith by replacing it with a new earldom of Airth, although the name Menteith was added to the title. | |||||||||||||||

| This John is thought to have been the 'Sir John with a Bright Sword' who may have been ancestor of the Grahams of Netherby and Esk. However, TSP (Menteith) throws some doubt on this not least because there is some evidence that this John had no surviving lawful male issue. | |||||||||||||||
