- Charles Stewart, 3rd Duke of Richmond, 6th Duke of Lennox KG (7 March 1639 – December 1672) was the only son of George Stewart, 9th Seigneur d'Aubigny and Katherine Howard, daughter of Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. He was the grandson of Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox. On 10 December 1645 he was created Baron Stuart of Newbury, Berkshire, and Earl of Lichfield, titles conferred on him "to perpetuate the titles which were intended to have been conferred on his uncle" Lord Bernard Stewart, youngest son of the Duke of Lennox, who had been killed in the Battle of Rowton Heath in the English Civil War in September of that year. In January 1658, Charles Stewart went into exile in France, and took up his residence in the house of his uncle, Ludovic, seigneur d'Aubigny. In the following year he fell under the displeasure of the The Protectorate's Council of State, and warrants were issued for seizing his person and goods. Charles Stewart married, firstly, Elizabeth Rogers, after June 1659. He married, secondly, Margaret Banaster, on 31 March 1662. He married, thirdly, Frances Teresa Stewart, granddaughter of Walter Stewart, 1st Lord Blantyre, in March 1667. This last marriage was famous, as Frances Stewart had been desired by Richmond's cousin, King Charles II, as a mistress. Charles Stewart returned to England with Charles II in 1660, and sat in the Convention Parliament, showing great animosity towards the supporters of the Commonwealth. On the death of his 10-year-old cousin Esmé Stewart on 10 August 1660, Charles Stewart succeeded as third Duke of Richmond and sixth Duke of Lennox. In that same year he was created hereditary great chamberlain of Scotland, hereditary great admiral of Scotland, and lord-lieutenant of Dorset. On 15 April 1661 he was invested with the Order of the Garter. On the death of his uncle, Ludovic Stuart, he succeeded him as 12th Seigneur D'Aubigny, for which title he did homage by proxy to Louis XIV of France on 11 May 1670. In July 1667, on the death of his cousin, Mary Butler, countess of Arran, he became Baron Clifton, and on 4 May 1668 he was made lord lieutenant and vice admiral of Kent jointly with the Earl of Winchilsea. n 1671 he was sent as ambassador to the Danish court to persuade Denmark to join England and France in a projected attack on the Dutch. While there he died (by drowning) in 1672, aged 33 at Elsinore, without issue, and his titles became extinct. He was buried on 20 September 1673 at Westminster Abbey. The titles Duke of Richmond, Duke of Lennox and Earl of March, were resurrected for Charles II's illegitimate son by Louise de Kérouaille, Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond and Lennox, in 1675.

- Il 10 dicembre 1645 Charles fu creato barone Stuart di Newbury, e conte di Lichfield, titolo conferitogli perché potesse continuare ad essere tramandato anche dopo la morte dello zio, Lord Bernard Stewart, caduto nella battaglia di Rowton Heath, durante la guerra civile inglese, mentre combatteva, realista, contro le truppe del Parlamento. Nel gennaio 1658 Charles andò in esilio in Francia, dove risiedette nella dimora di suo zio Ludovic, Seigneur d'Aubigny. L'anno successivo sposò Elizabeth Rogers. In seguito, nel 1662, si sposò una seconda volta con Margaret Banaster e poi una terza, con Frances Stewart, duchessa di Richmond e Lennox; questa donna passò alla storia per aver rifiutato di diventare una delle favorite di re Carlo II Stuart. Con la restaurazione inglese, nel 1660, Charles tornò in Inghilterra; entrò a far parte del Convention Parliament e si mostrò inflessibile nella condanna ai sostenitori del Commonwealth of England. Il 10 agosto 1660, alla morte del suo cugino Esmé Stewart, duca di Richmond, ereditò il titolo e divenne terzo duca di Richmond. Lo stesso anno il re lo nominò Gran Ciambellano di Scozia, ereditario Gran Ammiraglio di Scozia e Lord Luogotenente di Dorset. Il 15 aprile 1661 divenne cavaliere dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera. Nel 1671 fu mandato come ambasciatore alla corte di Danimarca. Nel 1668 divenne Lord Luogotenente e vice Ammiraglio del Kent divenendo conte di Winchilsea. L'11 maggio 1670 dovette fare atto d'omaggio a Luigi XIV di Francia poiché, alla morte dello zio Ludovic, aveva ereditato il titolo di Seigneur d'Aubigny.
