• Notes

  Earl of Crawford. Early history: The title descended to the first E a r l ' s d escendants without much incident, until the death of David Linds a y , 8 t h E arl of Crawford in 1542. The eighth Earl had a son, Alexander, c o m m o n ly called the Wicked Master, who frequently quarreled with his fat h e r a n d e ven tried to murder him. The Wicked Master was sentenced to de a t h f o r h is crime, and the eighth Earl conveyed his title to a cousin, a l s o c a l led David Lindsay, a descendant of the third Earl of Crawford, a n d e x c l uded from the succession all of the Wicked Master's descendants. H o w e v e r, the ninth earl, although he had his own sons, named the Wicked M a s t e r 's son David as his heir; thus, in 1558, at the ninth Earl's death , t h e e a r l d o m r eturned to the main branch of the family.
