Per Genealogics: "Alwyn was the son of Mormaer Alwyn Oge, and ruled Lennox from somewhere in the beginning of the 13th century until his death. Unlike many other Scottish mormaers or earls, he played little role in the wider society of the Scottish kingdom. Lennox at the time was a frontier region between the Scottish Gaelic lands of central Scotland and the Norse Gaelic lands of Argyll, and the earldom of Lennox seems to have lacked the status accorded to the other earldoms. Either because of this lack of stature, or because of the lack of interest in national affairs, Alwyn's attendance was not recorded at the coronation of King Alexander II, at Scone in 1215. Alwyn was dead in 1217."¹ Mormaer Alwyn (?) 2nd Earl of Lennox was also known as Mormaer Ailín II (?) Earl of Lennox.⁶

;
Per Genealogics: "Alwyn, named as a son of Murdac, ruled Lennox sometime before 1178. He is an obscure figure, known only in two sources, and remains characterless. It is not certain that he was ever recognised as mormaer/earl of Lennox, although one source does call him that. In the 1170s Lennox was in the nominal possession of David, earl of Huntingdon, the brother of William 'the Lion', king of Scots. David was given the territory as a fief of the crown in 1178. However, the land was restored to a native magnate, Alwyn's son Alwyn, who was recognised as a mormaer (comes). The reasons for this are unknown. Perhaps the crown had never really controlled it; or perhaps, as the historian Cynthia Neville suggests, the frontier region of Lennox lost its importance after the defeat and death of Somerled, king of the South Isles, king in Argyll and Lorn, in 1164. Part of the reason was undoubtedly the promotion of David to the earldom of Huntingdon."¹
