John Graham, 4th Earl of Menteith

John Graham, 4th Earl of Menteith (c. 1529 – c. 1565), was a 16th-century Scottish nobleman.

[1] He inherited the earldom after the death of his father, William Graham was killed in a clan fight some time in autumn 1543, but certainly by 23 January 1544; some sources state that he was killed in October 1543 by the Tutor of Appin (a member of the Stewart family), after the Stewarts and their army ate a wedding feast to which the Earl had been invited.

According to most stories, a band of Stewarts were passing through Menteith and happened upon a wedding feast.

[2] In 1558, Earl John Graham joined the Lords of the Congregation and took part in the Siege of Leith.

[3] He died leaving two sons, William, who succeeded to the earldom, and George.
