Lambinus de Loudoun, Sir

LAMBINUS, was proprietor of the lands and barony of Loudoun &c. in the shire of Air, and flourished in the reign of king David of Scotland.

He was father of

II. JAMES de LOUDOUN, dominus de eo∣dem, or of that ilk, who got a charter of the lands and barony of Loudoun,* and others, from Richard de Morville, constable of Scot∣land, Jacobo filio Lambini; &c. also a charter from William de Morville, Jacobo de Loudoun terrarum baroniae de Loudoun, &c. both in the reign of king William the Lion, who succeed∣ed to the crown anno 1165; a certain proof that he had assumed his sirname from his lands, which was very much the custom in those early times; and his armorial bearing was argent,* three inescutcheons sable.

This James de Loudoun died without male-issue; but had a daughter,

III. MARGARET de LOUDOUN, his sole heiress, who succeeded him in his whole estate.

She married sir Reginald de Crawfurd,* he∣retable lord high-sheriff of the county of Air, one of the principal branches of the noble fa∣mily of Crawfurd.

He retained the sirname of Crawfurd; but quartered the arms of Loudoun with his own, and was afterwards designed sir Reginald of Loudoun, which hath continued to be the chief title of his posterity ever since.
