John Forbes, 8th Lord Forbes (1542–1606) was a Scottish aristocrat. He was a son of William Forbes, 7th Lord Forbes (1513-1593) and Elizabeth Keith, the heiress of Inverugie. He was first Master of Forbes, and became Lord Forbes on the death of his father. In July 1592 John, Master of Forbes, wanted his son to marry a sister of the Earl of Gowrie, but this connection was opposed by the Earl of Huntly, as it would weaken him politically.

  • John Forbes, 8th Lord Forbes (1542–1606) was a Scottish aristocrat. He was a son of William Forbes, 7th Lord Forbes (1513-1593) and Elizabeth Keith, the heiress of Inverugie. He was first Master of Forbes, and became Lord Forbes on the death of his father. In 1590 John Forbes, known as the Master of Forbes, was accused of imprisoning his father in a chamber at Druminnor Castle and hitting him on the head with the pommel of his sword. Two younger brothers, Robert Forbes, Commendator of Monymusk, and James Forbes of Fechell brought their father's complaint to the Privy Council, but the Master of Forbes denied it. The Council declared that Drumminor should be kept by William Forbes of Tolquhoun and others till Lord Forbes came to Edinburgh or sent further testimony. In May 1591 the Master of Forbes claimed his brothers had turned his father against him, and while Lord Forbes was lying sick at Dundee they had entered and robbed the House of Druminnor. The younger Forbes brothers obtained royal letters against the Master of Forbes to support their occupation of Druminnor. In July 1592 John, Master of Forbes, wanted his son to marry a sister of the Earl of Gowrie, but this connection was opposed by the Earl of Huntly, as it would weaken him politically. (en)
