Sir John de Lyons II(de Lyon), Baron of Warkworth was the son of Sir Richard de Lyons and Emma de Lyons and father of Sir Adam Lyons, Sir John de Lyons III and Sir Richard Lyons. This Noble Peerage was placed on the shoulders of every Lyon male back to the birth of Sir John Lyon in 1187. First Knighted by King Henry II of England. These sources can be found in "Full Text of Lyon Memorial","The Lyons of England" and A Lyon Memorial (1907). If you're visiting Warkworth, you'll need to ask for directions, make certain that you take plenty of film. Located in the old family church near the place their Castle and Manor House once stood, is the magnificent tomb of Sir John Lyon (1289). His parents are entombed along side of him with other members of the family commemorated.

Sir John Lyon was the son of Sir John Lyon (born c. 1290), feudal baron of Forteviot and Forgandenny in Perthshire, and Curteton and Drumgowan in Aberdeenshire.[1] Sir John is widely accepted as being the progenitor of Clan Lyon, a claim verified by renowned historian Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk. His origins were French, his surname being an anglicised version of the Norman family "de Lyon-Levieux" of Cotentin Peninsula also written in book as "de Leonne".
