Sir James (de) Lindsay of Crawford (died 1358) was a Scottish feudal lord and politician. [1] [2]
Sir James de Lindsay was Lord of Crawford and Kirkmichael. [lower-alpha 1] He had been a hostage for King David II in 1351, and appears first in Parliament in 1357. [lower-alpha 2] He was appointed an ambassador to England as Dominus de Crawford in 1357, [lower-alpha 3] but died before 11 November 1358. [1]
He married Egidia, daughter of Walter, Steward of Scotland, and half-sister of Robert II of Scotland. A papal dispensation for this marriage was granted at Avignon on 3 Ides of April 1346, [lower-alpha 4] which describes the spouse as within the third and fourth degree on the father's side, and in the fourth degree on the mother's. A strong inference thus arises that Sir James's grandmother, wife of Sir Alexander, was daughter to the Steward. Lady Egidia de Lindsay, as she was always afterwards styled, was married secondly, [lower-alpha 5] after October 1357, to Sir Hugh of Eglinton, [lower-alpha 6] [lower-alpha 7] and thirdly (contract October 1378), to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith.
