Before the Lords were
created, the Seton family maintained a tradition of
Knights, for thirteen generations, until the
mid-14th century, and passed this training
through hereditary means to every son of the
House. The first created Lord in Scotland
was Sir William Seton, son of the heiress
Margaret Seton and Alan de Winton, and grandson
of Sir Alexander Seton, of Berwick Castle fame.
The Lord's Seton were the premier barons of
Scotland and heirs to the Earldom of Winchester
and later the Earldom of Buchan, and becoming Earls of
Huntly, Winton, Dunfermline, Eglinton and
Chancellor's of Scotland. |
