| Keywords: people by Isaac Oliver,miniature,circa 1605 Ludovic Stewart, 2nd Duke of Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond (September 29, 1574 – February 16, 1624) was a Scottish nobleman and politician. He was the son of Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox and his wife Catherine de Balsac. Stewart (or Stuart) was involved in the Plantation of Ulster in Ireland and the colonization of Maine in New England. Richmond's Island and Cape Richmond, as well as Richmond, Maine (formerly Fort Richmond), are named for him. He married, firstly, Sophia Ruthven, daughter of William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie, before June 1590. He married, secondly, Jean Campbell, great-granddaughter of James IV of Scotland, circa August 1598. He married, thirdly, Frances Howard, daughter of Thomas Howard, 1st Viscount Howard of Bindon, on 16 June 1621. His illegitimate son Sir John Stewart of Methven was married to Margaret Hamilton, daughter of Sir Claud Hamilton. Claud was son of Claud Hamilton, 1st Lord Paisley and a younger brother of James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Abercorn In the Plantation of Ulster, Ludovic Stuart, the 2nd Duke of Lennox was granted lands at Portlough in the Barony of Raphoe in County Donegal in 1608. Pynnar Survey of 1618 records the Duke of Lennox as being the chief undertaker for 2,000 acreas in the Portlough area and as being represented locally by his agent Sir Aulant Aula, Knight. The Duke of Lennox appears in the Muster Rolls of 1631 (now described as being an undertaker of 4,000 acres). This probably refers to his brother the 3rd Duke. Stewart was involved in the colonization of Maine in New England. Richmond Island and Cape Richmond, as well as Richmond, Maine (formerly Fort Richmond), are named for him. It is probable that Newtownstewart in County Tyrone, Ireland is also named after him. He acquired the licence to mint copper farthings. He died in 1624, aged 49 and was interred in Westminster Abbey, London. by Isaac Oliver,miniature,circa 1605 Ludovic Stewart, 2nd Duke of Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond (September 29, 1574 – February 16, 1624) was a Scottish nobleman and politician.
