Lord Cramond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arms of the Lords Cramond[1]

The title of Lord (of) Cramond was a title in the nobility of Scotland. It was created on 23 February 1628 for Dame Elizabeth Richardson. She was married to Sir Thomas Richardson, the second marriage for both, and had no children together. The remainder for the title was to Sir Thomas's heirs (from his first marriage), rather than to her own children from her first marriage. Thus, Lady Cramond's eldest son John Ashburnham was not eligible to succeed his mother.

On the death of the fifth lord in 1735, it became extinct.
