http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malise_Graham,_1st_Earl_of_Menteith
Malise Graham (1406 x 1413 – 1490), was a 15th century Scottish magnate. He is the first of his name to have borne the title of Earl of Menteith.
He was the only son of Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine, second son of Sir Patrick Graham, ancestor of the Earls and Dukes of Montrose. The younger Sir Patrick married Euphemia Stewart, Countess Palatine of Strathearn, and became in her right Earl of Strathearn.
Their son Malise, whose name was an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Maol Íosa, was born about 1407, or perhaps later. During the earlier years of his life he bore the title Earl of Strathearn, and as such was proposed as a hostage for King James I; he was named among those who welcomed King James at Durham in March 1424.
The King, however, took advantage of the Earl's minority, and deprived him of the earldom of Strathearn, making him Earl of Menteith instead. The charter of the new earldom was dated September 6, 1427. The lands named in the grant to be part of the reshaped earldom, many of which can still be identified, indicate that he received the newly constituted earldom comprehended the whole of Aberfoyle parish and a portion of that of Port of Menteith. But this was only the smaller half of the original earldom, the remainder being annexed to the Crown.
Two months after his receiving the above charter Earl Malise, in November 1427, entered England as a hostage for King James I, and was confined in the castle of Pontefract, whence he was not released until June 17, 1453. James, Lord Hamilton, who had married the Earl's sister, Euphemia Graham, widow of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Douglas, was the chief agent in obtaining the release, and received a grant on 17 December 1453 of the lands in the lordship of Kinpont, West Lothian. The Earl in the charter styles himself Earl of Menteith and Lord of Kinpont, the latter being a very early possession of the Graham family, which had descended to him through his father.
The Earl appears on various occasions in his place in Parliament, but little is known of his history except that he appears to have become involved in debt.
He is said to have been present at the Battle of Sauchieburn on June 11, 1488, and to have fought for the King ; but this is doubtful, as he must then have been above 80 years of age.
In the retour of his grandson to the estates on 6 May 1493, Earl Malise is said to have died at the peace of King James IV of Scotland. The exact date of his death is not known, but he was dead before May 19, 1490, perhaps not very long before that date, when a gift was made to John Home of Earlston of the ward of the lands of Gilmerton, held of Malise, Earl of Menteith, and then in the King's hands by his decease.
The Earl was at least twice married. His first wife is said to have been Janet de Rochford. On April 19, 1471 Janet, Countess of Malise, Earl of Menteith, is held to be entitled to her terce from Kinpont, belonging to her son Patrick. She probably died not long afterwards, but this is uncertain. In 1490 the Countess of Menteith was named Marion, and she survived her husband, marrying John Drummond before May 17, 1491. She was still alive in 1530, dying between 28 April and 23 August in that year.
The Earl had a great many children, but was succeeded by his grandson, Alexander Graham, 2nd Earl of Menteith.

Notes
1 - 1st Earl of Strathearn-Menteith Created 1st Graham Earl of Menteith 1427
The later earldom, which was created by James the First in the fifteenth century in favour of Malise Graham, formerly Earl of Strathern, did not include all the lands of the original earldom which had been forfeited by Murdach Duke of Albany as Earl of Menteith; on the contrary, the charter of creation of the new territorial earldom of Menteith reserved to the king the other portions of it.
Among the places thus reserved was the Castle of Doune, which was the principal messuage of the ancient earldom at the time of the forfeiture.
Malise inherited the title of Earl of Strathearn/Strathern from his mother but King James I conferred that title upon his uncle Walter and replaced Mailse's earldom with that of Menteith (often spelled "Monteith"). Malise's first wife is named as Ann Vere by Burkes Extinct Peerages 1883 (Graham of Strathern , etc) but as Jane de Rochford by The Scots Peerage (Menteith). Burkes Extinct 1883 identifies Alexander, John and Walter as being by Ann Vere. We show that Euphame was by her as well but that is an assumption. We show the second John and Walter as by his second wife following an indication to that effect by The Scots Peerage.
2 - Malise Graham, had the earldom of Stratherne removed from him by King James I and given to his uncle, Robert Graham, on the grounds that his mother should not have inherited a title whose descent was strictly through the male line, but received the earldom of Menteith instead.
Malise, also known as Earl of Strathearn. It was he whom King James I. deprived of the earldom, on the plea that it was a male fief, and made Earl of Menteith instead; and it was this action which moved the EarlÙus uncle, Sir Robert Graham, to renounce his allegiance, and to plot and carry out the assassination of the King at Perth. It should be remembered, however, that in this plot Earl Malise himself seems to have had no share. He lived till 1492, and left three sons, from the eldest of whom descended the Earls of Menteith and Airth,
