Earl of Lincoln

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

The title was last awarded in 1572 in the Peerage of England to Edward Clinton, Lord Clinton. Than Lord High Admiral under King Edward VI (1547-1553), Queen Mary (1553-1558) and Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) served.

The title has been held since the 18th century until the 1980s, by the Duke of Newcastle -under- Lyme. With the death of the 10th Duke without direct heirs died out of the title, the earldom went to a distant relative.

The family seat is in Warnbro at Perth in Australia.
