David Lindsay, 12th Earl of Crawford (1577 – 1620) was a Scottish nobleman. Thomas Henderson states in the Dictionary of National Biography that "In David Lindsay, ... the prodigality and lawlessness, which had more or less characterised the descendants of the 'wicked master', reached their climax". Earl of Crawford ==Biography== David Lindsay was born in Crawford, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He was the son of David Lindsay, 11th Earl of Crawford and Griselda Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 4th Earl of Atholl. On 25 October 1605 he slew, "under trust", his kinsman, Sir Walter Lindsay of Balgavie. On this account he was "placed at the horn",〔 cites Reg. P. C. Scotl. vii. 143〕 but succeeded in eluding capture, owing, it would appear, to the remissness of the Privy Council, who were on 10 October rebuked by King James VI.〔 cites Reg. P. C. Scotl. vii. p. 541.〕 In revenge of the murder Crawford was, on 5 July 1607, while accompanied by Alexander, Lord Spynie, attacked by the relatives of Sir Walter, who killed Spynie in the brawl and wounded Crawford. On 10 May 1608, Crawford appeared before the Council and took the oath of allegiance,〔 cites Reg. P. C. Scotl. viii. 59.〕 but was subsequently, on many occasions, proceeded against for his lawless proceedings. Ultimately his relatives, to prevent further alienations of the estates, placed him under surveillance in Edinburgh Castle, where he died in February 1621. The earldom passed to his uncle, Sir Henry Lindsay of Kinfauns. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Lindsay, 12th Earl of Crawford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
