Died:34 November 1382
He was slain on 4 November 1382 by Sir James Lindsay of Crawford. The only contemporary narrative of the event is contained in the accounts of Robert, Earl of Fife and Menteith, who succeededSirJohn in the office of Chamberlain, and who states that his death took place on the 4 of November, 'suddenly and unexpectedly.' The Liber Pluscardensis states that the deed was done at night when the victim was in bed and unsuspecting. All the early references to the catastrophe indicate the belief of the writers that there was foul play, and Lindsay was compelled to flee from Court to elude the vengeance of the King. The event marked the beginning of a feud between the families which remained unhealed for centuries.
