David Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Crawford (died 17 January 1446)〔''Lindsay family, earls of Crawford (per. c.1380–1495), nobility'' by Alison Cathcart and David Ditchburn, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography 〕 was a regent to James II of Scotland. He was a member of Clan Lindsay, a Scottish Lowland clan. At the Battle of Arbroath in 1445 the Clan Lindsay, led by the Master of Crawford, advanced with over 1000 men. Their enemy was the Clan Ogilvy who were also supported by men from the Clan Oliphant, Clan Gordon, Clan Seton and Clan Forbes of Pitsligo. The Earl, who was the Master of Crawford's father, rode between the two armies in an attempt to call a truce. However, an ill-advised Ogilvie, thinking that this was the start of the Lindsay's attack, threw his spear at the Earl, hitting him in the mouth and killing him instantly. So the battle began which went in the Clan Lindsay's favour. ==Marriage and issue== Crawford married Marjory Ogilvie, daughter of Alexander Ogilvie of Auchterhouse. By her he had issue: *Alexander Lindsay, 4th Earl of Crawford, called "Tiger Earl" or "Earl Beardie." He married Elizabeth Dunbar, of the house of March (Earl of March), and his son, David Lindsay, 5th Earl of Crawford (d.1495), was created Duke of Montrose on 18 May 1488. *Walter of Beaufort and Edzell, styled of Kinblethmont, had charters of the baronies of Arde and Bewfort in 1459, and of the barony of Panbride in 1463. He married first Sophia, daughter of Livingston of Saltcoats, but by her had no issue.〔(Balfour Paul, vol i pp18-20 )〕 *William Lindsay of Lekoquhy *Sir John Lindsay (k. 1452- Battle of Brechin) *James, who founded a house in Austria.〔''A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire. 28th edition.''
