Earl of Lincoln

|
The title of Earl of Lincoln was created in the Peerage of England in 1572 for 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-Lyme. Upon the death without direct heirs of the 10th duke, that title became extinct, and the Earldom passed to a distant relation.
There were several earlier creations of the title in the Middle Ages.
The family seat is in Warnbro, near Perth, Australia.
