Earl of Lincoln

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title of Earl of Lincoln was probably created around 1143, but reverted several times back to the Crown.

The title was granted by the Peerage of England in 1572 to Edward Clinton, Lord Clinton, who served as Lord High Admiral under Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. The title was from the 18th century until the 1980s held by the Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Upon the death without direct heirs of the 10th duke, that title became extinct, and the Earldom passed to a distant relation. The family seat is in Warnbro, near Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
