Sir John Stewart of Darnley was already a knight in 1386, and in 1419 entered the service of France under John Stewart, Earl of Buchan. After the battle of Beauge, in which the English were defeated and the Duke of Clarence was slain, he received a grant of the Seigneurie of Concressault in Berry; and later was granted the Seigneurie of Aubigny in Berry, by King Charles VII of France 26 March 1423. ; He was taken prisoner at Crevant on 31 July 1423 by the English, but was ransomed. After the defeat of Verneuil in 1424, the Scots in the French service were formed into a bodyguard of the King. In January 1426-27 the King granted him, by letters patent, the Comte of Evreux in Normandy. He continued his military services, and in February 1427-28 was rewarded by being permitted to quarter the Royal Arms of France with his paternal coat. He was, in 1428, envoy from the French King to James I of Scotland to ask for succour, and to demand the hand of his daughter Margaret for the Dauphin. With his brother William he was killed at the siege of Orleans, 12 February 1428-29, and was buried in the Chapel of Notre Dame Blanche in the Cathedral there.
He married, in terms of dispensation dated 23 September 1406 the widowed Elizabeth, younger daughter and co-heiress of Duncan, eight Earl Of Lennox. She died in France, in November 1429, ten months after her husband.

Sir John Stuart or Stewart, of Darnley, Seigneur of Aubigny (1365?-1429), son of Alexander Stewart of Darnley (descended from Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl, second son of Alexander, high steward of Scotland), by his wife Janet, daughter and heiress of Sir William Keith of Galston, was born about 1365. In 1386 he was made a knight, and on 4 May 1387 he is mentioned as lord of Castlemile. He succeeded his father on 5 May 1404. With the Earls of Buchan and Wigton he was appointed to the joint command of a Scottish force sent to the aid of the dauphin of France against the English, and for his distinguished services at their defeat at Beauge on 21 March 1420-1, he received a grant of the seigneurie of Concreisault in Berry, with one thousand livres of yearly rent. Shortly afterwards he formally entered the service of France, holding command of a body of men-at-arms, for whose maintenance from November 1422 to December 1423 he received a monthly sum of one thousand livres. On 10 April he obtained a grant of the seigneurie of Aubigny in Berry, which was confirmed on 30 July 1425. While at the siege of Crevant in June 1423 he was severely defeated by the English, lost an eye, and was taken prisoner, but obtained not long afterwards his exchange. A little later his men-at-arms were formed into the bodyguard of Charles VII, from whom in January 1426-1427 he obtained the comte of Evreux in Normandy. For victories gained in 1426 and 1427 he also in February 1427-8 obtained the privilege of quartering the royal arms of France with his own. In 1427 he was sent on a special embassy to Scotland, first to obtain additional reinforcements, and secondly to demand the hand of the Princess Margaret for the dauphin. While in Scotland he received on 17 July 1428 from James I a charter re-granting him Tarbolton. On his return to France with reinforcements he was sent to Orleans, then besieged by the English under the Earl of Salisbury, but was killed while attacking a convoy of provisions. He was buried behind the choir in the chapel of Notre Dame Blanche, in the cathedral church, Orleans, in November 1429. By his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Duncan, Earl Of Lennox, he had three sons: Sir Alan, who succeeded to the lands of Darnley and Lennox, but was slain by Sir Thomas Boyd in 1439; John, second seigneur of Aubigny and father of Bernard Stuart (1147?-1508); and Alexander.
