| Notes |
- Also known as "John the Scot" and "John of Huntington", he was born abt. 1207, the only surviving son of David of Scotland and Maud of Chester. He became Earl of Huntington and Northampton upon his father's death in 1219. He became the 7th Earl of Chester after his mother's younger brother, Ranulf de Blondeville, died in 1232.
Abt. 1222 he married Elen (or Ellen) ferch Llywellyn (1207-1253), daughter of Llywellyn the Great and Joan, Lady of Wales, but he died childless (and may have been poisoned by his wife). He was buried in Saint Werburgh's Abbey Church, which became Chester Cathedral during king Henry VIII's reign.
John's four sisters inherited his estates but they were purchased by king Henry III, who annexed the earldoms and forced Elen to marry Sir Robert de Quincy.
