This book revises the standard accounts of the Lyons of Glamis. It
describes how the family emerged as an entity in the mid-fourteenth
century because of Sir John Lyon's links with a group of prominent
crusaders, and how it expanded and progressed over the next four
hundred years. If there is a unifying theme to the seven essays in
Part One, then it is the shift from a family structure largely
based on feudal values to one that promoted the political and
economic independence of its members. The essays provide a backdrop
for the fifteen genealogies that follow in Part Two. They deal with
the main stem and the several known branches of this most
remarkable Scottish family. Front: detail from W. F. Lyon, The
Genealogical Tree of the Family of Lyon (London, 1861).
