  • John Stewart, 5th Earl of Atholl, (1563–1595) was a Scottish landowner. John Stewart was the son of John Stewart, 4th Earl of Atholl and Margaret Fleming, daughter of Malcolm Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming and Janet Stewart. In 1578 he married Marie or Mary Ruthven, daughter of William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie and Dorothea Stewart. On 14 November 1578 she wrote as "Marie Countas of Atholl" to Barbara Stewart, Lady Weem, the wife of James Menzies of Weem and her husband's aunt, to invite her to Cupar to describe to her the fashion and manners of a place where she intended to travel. He rescued the widowed Agnes Sinclair Countess of Erroll in October 1587. She had been violently abducted from her house at Inchestuthill and assaulted by Colin Campbell of Glenlyon and his followers. He was involved in a quarrel with the Earl of Erroll at Perth on 29 June 1591, when Anne of Denmark made a ceremonial entry to the town. Atholl was Provost of Perth and Errol was Constable and they argued over their precedence. Atholl and his wife became friends with Anne of Denmark and while they were at Falkland Palace invited her stay with them at Dunkeld in July 1592. James VI of Scotland after some hesitation would not allow her to make the trip. Anne was unhappy at this and wished she was back home in Denmark with her mother Sophie. There were suspicions that the Earl had been involved in the rebel Francis Stewart's assault on Falkland Palace in June. The English ambassador Robert Bowes wrote that Atholl had "his spoon deep in the late pie at Falkland". The English diplomat Robert Bowes hoped that they would persuade Marie's sister Margaret Ruthven to marry the son of the Master of Forbes. This would weaken the power of the Earl of Huntly. However, Margaret married John Graham, 4th Earl of Montrose. Atholl died in September 1595 and was buried at Dunkeld on 11 October. Anne of Denmark was in Perth and saw the funeral procession from William Hall's house. There were rumours he had been poisoned. (en)
