Heraldic/Genealogical Details:
Earl of Crawford and Balcarres - Earl of Crawford was a title created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1398 for Sir David Lindsay (c. 1360-1407), son of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Glenesk, son of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Glenesk (d. 1281), second surviving son to Sir David de Lindsay of Crawford and the Byres - Gules a fesse chequy argent and azure. Crest: An ostrich proper holding in his mouth a key or. Motto: Endure fort.
In 1843, James Lindsay, 7th Earl of Balcarres put forward his claim to the Earldom of Crawford; in 1848, the House of Lords allowed it. The claim was based on the extensive research of his son Lord Lindsay. It was held that the seventh Earl's father, the sixth Earl, was the lawful successor to the earldom of Crawford (though he did not claim it); therefore, the sixth Earl of Balcarres was posthumously declared the 23rd Earl of Crawford, and his son, the seventh Earl of Balcarres, became the 24th Earl of Crawford. Thereafter, these two earldoms have remained united (but the Earldom of Lindsay is separate).
