Jean Stewart, Lady Bargany
Jean Stewart, Lady Bargany,( c. 1577- 1605) was a Scottish lady in waiting to Anne of Denmark Jean Stewart was a daughter of the Andrew, Master of Ochiltree and Margaret Stewart, Mistress of Ochiltree.
Jean was a maiden in the household of Anne of Denmark and her mother was the senior lady in waiting.
She married Gilbert Kennedy of Bargany and Ardstinchar, the third son of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany and Agnes Montgomerie daughter of Hugh Montgomerie, 2nd Earl of Eglinton.
Bargany Castle, demolished in the seventeenth century, was on the south side of the river Girvan in Dailly parish in Ayrshire.
Two chronicles, possibly by the same author, state that James VI of Scotland arranged this marriage for Kennedy to a bride without a dowry to punish the family because Thomas Kennedy laird of Bargany had taken part in a riot in Edinburgh on 17 November 1596.
The laird had appeared with others in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh and made a religious protest.
The incident was regarded as a conflict between the gentlemen of the king's household known as' cubiculars' and the financial officers called the' Octavians'.
As the chronicles mention, after this disturbance Lord Lindsay of the Byres' property was forfeit, and Bargany was punished by a marriage that was to" the wreck of his house".
What is known about the marriage contract and settlement appears to contradict the story found in the chronicles.
James VI bought the bride clothes and paid for food and musicians at the wedding in Edinburgh.
Anne of Denmark first tried to obtain Lord Lindsay's forfeit as a dowry for Jean Stewart.
Then she arranged a loan for the dowry, asking Sir William Stewart of Traquair, Jean Stewart's brother- in- law who had protected the king on the day of the riot, to be a cautioner for the money.
In 1615 the dowry or" tochter" money was still unpaid, and their son claimed the sum from Sir John Stuart of Traquair and his legal tutor Robert Stuart.
In April 1615 the Privy Council of Scotland wrote to King James that Traquair ought not to be liable because Sir William had been following the queen's direction" whose commandment was ever unto him a law".
The Privy Council noted that the king and queen were also cautioners and" personallie bound in the contract".
In May, Anne of Denmark asked her lady- in- waiting Jean Ker, Countess of Roxburghe to write to her husband to intercede with James to the same effect, to pay what Traquair owed for the dowry.
Thomas Kennedy of Bargany died on 7 November 1597 and Gilbert Kennedy became the laird of Bargany and Ardstinchar.
Jean Stewart became known as" Lady Bargany".
They had a son Thomas and two daughters who died young.
Bargany was drawn into the long standing family feud with John Kennedy, 5th Earl of Cassilis.
On 3 January 1598 Thomas Kennedy of Culzean, called the Tutor of Cassilis, shot pistols at Bargany's servants Alexander Kennedy and David Mure and others at Maybole and pursuing them the next day at the Place of Auchendrane.
The Tutor claimed that Alexander Kennedy had been insinuated into his household, and he had been ambushed in Maybole.
Although Bargany had helped the earl at Inch Castle, on 11 December 1601 he met the earl and his followers at Pennyglen near Maybole and was killed with a lance thrust in his back.
The Earl claimed in his defence to the Privy Council that Bargany's party that day included men denounced by the king as rebels that he had a commission to pursue with fire and sword.
The lawyer Thomas Hamilton challenged this defence, but Cassilis and followers( all named) were found not guilty.
Jean Stewart Lady Bargany was required to deliver her houses of Ardstinchar, Bargany, Newark, and her house in Ayr to the king's herald in 1603.
She continued the feud by legal means, but also received several royal gifts by privy seal letter.
Jean Stewart fell ill from some sort of fever and went to see the queen's physician Martin Schöner at court in London, but he gave her no hope and she died at Stilton on her way back to Scotland on 16 August 1605.
Jean Stewart was buried with her husband in the new burial aisle she had built at Ballantrae close to Ardstinchar Castle.
The monument has been discusssed in connection with the architecture of Anna of Denmark and David Cunningham of Robertland.
It has been suggested the monument may be the work of the master mason David Scoughall.
