There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Tynte, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of Ireland. Both are extinct. The Tynte Baronetcy of Halswell, Somerset, was created in the Baronetage of England for Halswell Tynte on 26 Jan 1674. The Tynte Baronetcy of Dunlaven, County Wicklow was created in the Baronetage of Ireland for James Stratford Tynte on 24 August 1778. ==Tynte family origins== One of the legends that surround the families who have lived in Halswell House is that of the first Tynte who, as a young knight of the Arundel Family, is said to have gone on the Third Crusade with King Richard the Lionheart. He was singled out for his bravery at the 1192 battle of Ascalon. The King observing him is supposed to have said: "'' .. the maiden knight had borne himself like a lion, and had done work enough for six crusaders''" For which service to the Christian cause the King is said to have conferred on the young Knight his armorial bearings (Heraldic device), a lion argent on a field of gold between six crosslets of the first and the motto ''Tynctus Cruore Saraceno'' ("tinged with Saracen blood"). Examples of the Tynte family crest can be seen in the church of St Edwards in Goathurst, and the inn The Tynte Arms in nearby Enmore.〔(Halswell House )〕 However, later historians have concluded that the Tyntes only rose from the yeomanry in the late 16th century (so would not have been entitled to have a coat of arms until then). 〔 http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/tynte-john-1617-69 〕 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「Tynte baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
