Notes

LINDSAY - Baldwin of Alost and his younger brother, Gilbert de Ghent, companion of the Conqueror, were sons of Ralph of Alost and cadets of Guines. Gilbert de Ghent, Earl of Lincoln, was father of Walter de Lindsay, ancestor of the Scottish family of Lindsay.

Scottish Hazard Vol.I, by Beryl Platts, page 105. From http://www.clanlindsay.com/reference_items.htm
Three books by Ms. Beryl Platts of Greenwich, England, a noted historian of medieval history are described: "Origins of Heraldry" pub 1980 & "Scottish Hazard", Volume I, published in 1985, and Scottish Hazard, Volume II (155 pages), published in 1990 are the most recent intense analysis of the Lindsays of Scotland and their origins. She supports the Flemish origin of the Lindsays of Scotland instead of the Norman origin.

"Ms. Platts, using basically the inherited heraldic devices used by certain individuals, set forth the following Flemish-Scottish relationships (page 111), while declaring much more research was to be done.

ALOST: Baldwin of Alost and his younger brother, Gilbert de Ghent, companion of the Conqueror, were sons of Ralph of Alost and cadets of Guines. Gilbert de Ghent, Earl of Lincoln, was father of Walter de Lindsay, ancestor of the Scottish family of Lindsay. These Flemish ancestors of Alost were descendants of Charlemagne.

On pages 70-71, Ms. Platts goes through the variations in the heraldic devices used by the Lindsays in Scotland with the Lindsay of the Byres keeping the Alost colours. The younger son left in Lincolnshire after the senior branch had finally moved to Scotland, yet another Gilbert de Ghent, "had perforce to make a change" and took the Vermandois (Stewart) colours.

In her second book, Scottish Hazard, Volume I, published in 1985, Ms. Platts, in Appendix Two, page 96, precedes to further analyze the conclusions drawn by Lord Lindsay, in his 1849 first edition of Lives of the Lindsays. Lord Lindsay compiled evidence that his ancestry originated from Ralph de Limesy, perhaps son, certainly kinsman, of a possible Anglo-Norman already in England, a man known as Angodus de Lindsay. In Lord Lindsay’s second edition (1858), he had discovered that Angodus died without heirs and thus discarded him as the prime parent. He had newly collected evidence to show that Baldric of Lincolnshire was the father of Ralph de Limesy.

Ms. Platts did note that there was a Ralph de Limesy in the Domesday Book as a companion to the Conqueror who was an inhabitant of an area in the Seine Valley of Normandy.

Ms. Platts uses 31 pages of Volume I supporting her position that Gilbert de Ghent, who fought with the Conqueror at Hastings, was the progenitor of the earliest Scottish Lindsays.

In her third book, Scottish Hazard, Volume II (155 pages), published in 1990, Ms. Platts devotes 25 pages of Appendix Two, page 118 to further support the Flemish origin of the Lindsays of Scotland."

"The Lindsays were of Lowland origin, the first known member of the family being Baldric de Lindesaya. He was a Norman who held lands in England and Normandy.

Around 1120 Sir Walter Lindsay was a member of the Council of Prince David, Earl of Huntington, who became King of Scots in 1124. Walter's successor, William, acquired lands of Crawford in Clydesdale.

Sir David Lindsay of Crawford acquired Glenesk in Angus by marriage with Maria Abernethy one of the heiresses of the Earldom of Angus and was hence created Earl of Crawford in 1398. The 4th Earl, the ferocious "Earl Beardie", was defeated by the Earl of Huntly in 1452 and deprived of his lands. His son, David was created Duke of Montrose by James III in 1488, this title ended on his death in 1495.

The House of Lindsay established itself in Angus (although Lindsays were to be found throughout Scotland) and engaged in bitter feuds with the Ogilvies and Alexanders. The Lindsays remained loyal throughout to the Stewarts.

The 6th Earl died at Flodden in 1513, the 10th supported Mary Queen of Scots and the 16th Earl commanded a regiment for Charles I. When he died the title passed on to a cadet branch, the Balcarres, already raised to earldom of Balcarres in 1651. In 1848, the House of Lords decided that the titles of Earls of Crawford and Earls of Lindsay belonged to James, 7th Earl of Balcarres who was then 24th Earl of Crawford.

The Lindsays are celebrated for their literary talent, Sir David Lindsay of the Mount in Fife, created Lyon King of Arms, was a poet and reformer, and Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie was famed as a witty although unreliable historian".

Lyndsay or *Lindsay, Sir David 1486 -- 1555 Poet, born probably near Cupar, Fife, E Scotland, UK. For two centuries he was the poet of the Scottish people, and his poems were said to have done more for the Reformation in Scotland than all the sermons of Knox. The earliest and most poetic of his writings is the allegorical The Dreme (1528). His most remarkable work was The Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis, a dramatic work first performed at Linlithgow in 1540, and revived with great success at the Edinburgh Festivals of 1948 and 1959, and several times thereafter.

Famous Lindsay's in Scotland (e.g. Sir David Lindsay, builder in 1604 of Edzel Castle; Sir David Lindsay, signer in 1320 of the Declaration of Arbroath; and Sir Alexander Lindsay, apparently a knight circa 1300, fighting alongside Robert the Bruce and / or Sir William Wallace), and they all uniformly carry the "say" suffix.

"... for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." Declaration of Arbroath, April 6, 1320, signed by Sir David Lindsay and 37 other Scottish nobles.
