  === Sir Alexander de Lindsay was found by in ===
  Sir Alexander de Lindsay was found by inquisition heir to David in Tynedale 1279, and his ward was granted to John Comyn of Badenoch and Tynedale, whose mother Alicia was apparently a Lindsay. In 1289 he was present as a baron in the Parliament of Brigham. He was knighted by King Edward I, but espoused the cause of Robert Bruce, and was a companion of Sir William Wallace. Nevertheless, he as done homage to King Edward 28 August 1286, who summoned him on military service in Flanders September 1297. He must have refused to obey, for he was ordered by Edward I to be banished from Scotland for six months, and all his lands were forfeited by King Edward II. According to Boece he was killed at the battle of Stirling, but he was present in Parliament in 1308. He previously - as surmised from a charter of his son's - acquired possession of Crawford. There is reason to believe that his wife was a sister of James, Steward of Scotland. [The Scots Peerage III:9]
