The Lyons of Glamis 1750-2000 Michael John Lyon

This book continues the various genealogies of the family published in The Lyons of Glamis 1350-1750 in 2015. From 1750 onwards, the heads of the family, the earls of Strathmore, unlike many of their aristocratic counterparts, have managed to hold of their titles and much of their estates through a helter-skelter of marriage, debt, and legal arrangements. However, the vast majority of their cadets, including the offspring of the main family, the Bowes-Lyons, have diversified socially and geographically. They have moved away from the old order and their time-honoured localities to all parts of the world.
