• John Drummond, first Lord Drummond (died 1519), was a Scottish statesman.
• Drummond, ninth successive knight of his family, was the eldest son of Sir Malcolm Drummond of Cargill and Stobhall, Perthshire, by his marriage with Mariota, eldest daughter of Sir David Murray of Tullibardine in the same county. He sat in parliament 6 May 1471, under the designation of Lord of Stobhall. On 20 March 1473–4 he had a charter of the offices of seneschal and coroner of the earldom of Strathearn,in which he was confirmed in the succeeding reign.[1] In 1483 he was one of the ambassadors to treat with the English King, with a safe-conduct (passport) granted 29 November of that year; again, on 6 August 1484, to treat of the marriage of James, Prince of Scotland, and Anne de la Pole, niece of Richard III. He was a commissioner for settling border differences nominated by the treaty of Nottingham, 22 September 1484; his safe-conduct into England being dated on the ensuing 29 November.
• James III of Scotland took the office of Steward of Strathearn from Drummond in September 1475, making him his enemy. Although Dummond was raised to the peerage by the title of Lord Drummond, 29 January 1488, soon after he joined the rebel party against James III, and he sat in the first parliament of James IV, 6 October 1488.
• In this same year he was appointed a privy councillor and justiciary of Scotland, and was afterwards constable of the castle of Stirling. In 1489 John Stewart, 1st Earl of Lennox, rose in revolt against the king. He had encamped at Gartalunane, on the south bank of the Forth, in the parish of Aberfoyle, but during the darkness of the night of 11 Oct. was surprised and utterly routed by Drummond.[2] As one of the commissioners to redress border and other grievances, Drummond had a safe-conduct into England 22 May 1495, 26 July 1511, 24 Jan. 1513, and 20 April 1514.[3]
• In 1514 Drummond gave great offence to many of the lords by promoting the marriage of his grandson, Archibald Douglas, sixth earl of Angus, with the queen-dowager Margaret. The Lord Lyon King of Arms (Sir William Comyn) was despatched to summon Angus before the council at Stirling Castle, when Drummond, thinking that he had approached the earl with more boldness than respect, struck him on the breast. In 1515 John Stewart, Duke of Albany, was chosen Regent of Scotland, but because Drummond did not favour the election he committed him (16 July) a close prisoner to Blackness Castle, upon an allegation that he had used violence towards the herald He was tried capitally, found guilty, and his estates forfeited. However, he was not long in coming to terms with Albany. With other lords he signed the answer of refusal to Henry VIII, who had advised the removal of Albany, to which his seal is affixed, 4 July 1516, and in October he announced his final separation from the queen's party. He was in consequence released from prison and freed from his forfeiture, 22 November 1516.[4]
• He died at Drummond Castle, Strathearn, in 1519, and was buried in the church of Innerpeffray. He was succeeded by his great-grandson David. In Douglas's ‘Peerage of Scotland’ (ed. Wood, ii. 361) Drummond is absurdly stated to have married ‘Lady Elisabeth Lindsay, daughter of David, duke of Montrose.’ His wife was Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of Alexander Lindsay, 4th Earl of Crawford, and by her he had three sons and six daughters. Malcolm, the eldest son, died young; David, master of Drummond, is not mentioned in the pedigrees, but is now believed to have been the chief actor in the massacre of members of the Murrays at Monivaird Church (Monzievaird), for which he was executed after 21 Oct. 1490.[5] William was living in March 1503; and John was ancestor of the Drummonds of Innerpeffray and of Riccarton.
• Of the daughters, Margaret Drummond, mistress of James IV, was poisoned in 1501; Elizabeth married George Douglas, Master of Angus, and was great-grandmother of Henry, Lord Darnley, Beatrix, it has been said, married James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Arran; Annabella married William Graham, 1st Earl of Montrose; Eupheme, the wife of John Fleming, 4th Lord Fleming, was poisoned in 1501; and Sibylla shared a like fate, the sisters were buried at Dunblane Cathedral. Drummond was the common ancestor of the viscounts of Strathallan and of the earls of Perth and Melfort.

"Genealogical Memoir of the Most Noble and Ancient House of Drummond" by David Malcolm, published in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1808. (price was 1 guinea to subscribers)

This book goes into the deep history of the Drummond family, and how they fit into the peerage of Scotland. Sir John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond lived during the reigns of King James III, James IV, and James V from about the years 1470 to 1519. He was an important legal and political leader of that time. James IV was so enamoured with Lord Drummond's eldest daughter, Margaret, that he intended to make her his wife. The nobles and royal council did not approve of the marriage, so they poisoned Margaret and two of her sisters over breakfast one morning so that James would cooperate in an arranged marriage with the daughter of King Henry VIII of England. However, under promise of marriage, she bore to the King a daughter, Lady Margaret Stewart from whom our family descends.

Sir John Drummond of Cargill and Stobhall succeeded his father in 1470. On 20 March 1473-74 he had a grant of the offices of Steward, Coroner, and Forester of the earldom of Strathearn on the resignation of Maurice Drummond. On 3 February 1482-83 he had a charter, along with his wife, of the lands of Auchterarder and others, co Perth, and Argeth and Smithston, co Forfar, on his own resignation, and on 8 August 1485 he purchased from Alexander Bruce of Kendrick the lands of Classingallis in Strathearn. He had been appointed in the previous year one of a commission to negotiate a marriage between King James's eldest son and Laddy Anne de la Pole, the niece of Richard III, and daughter of the Duke of Suffolk; at the same time the commissioners concluded a treaty of peace between England and Scotland for three years. He was, on 29 January 1487-88, created a Lord of Parliament under the title of Lord of Drummond. He was one of the rebel lords who support the party of King James IV against his father, and on 11 October 1490 he attacked the camp of the forces led by the Earl of Lennox and Lord Lyle at Gartalunane, near Aberfoyle, and completely defeated them. On 25 July 1493 he had a grant from the King as 'consiliarius suus' of the lands of Dalchonzie and others in Strathearn, and another on 31 January 1495-96 of the lordship of Drummond in Menteith. He had many other grants of land from the King, who highly appreciated the services he had rendered him. In the following reign he was not so fortunate; he was a strong supporter of the marriage between his grandson Archibald, sixth Earl of Angus and Queen Margaret, the widow of King James IV, and his nephew, the Dean of Dunblane, solemnized it in the Chruch of Kinsale on 6 August 1514. The marriage was very unpopular, and hardly a year had passed before Drummond was warded in the Castle of Blackness on the charge of advising that Henry VIII should be constituted Protector of Scotland and have the care of the young King. A few days afterwards there was another accusation because he 'waffed his slief at ane harraide and gave him upon the breist with his hand.' The 'harralde' was Sir William Cumming of Inverallochy, Lyon King of Arms, to whom he gave a blow for what he though disrespectful conduct. The consequence was that not only was he imprisoned, but his estates were forfeited, and it was only on the urgent representations of the Queen and the Estates of Parliemtn that he was pardoned and restored the following year. Lord Drummond did not live long after this, dying, at the age of eighty-one, at Drummond Castle. He was buried, in 1519, at the chruch of Innerpeffray, to which he had mortified an annualrent of forty merks from his lands there, for the souls of the King and Queen, of himself, his wife, and their daughter Margaret, and for the support of four chaplainries. He married Elizabeth Lindsay, said to have been daughter of Alexander, fourth Earl of Crawford. She was living in 1509. [The Scots Peerage VII:40-42]
