    Notes:

    (Research):A reputed advisor of James IV of Scotland, and counsellor to Margaret Tudor.
    The 16th century writer Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie gave Patrick Lord Lindsay a number of speeches in his chronicle History of Scotland. Lindsay was said to have advised the nobles of Scotland to fight at Flodden on 9 September 1513 but send James IV of Scotland home. In Pitscottie's story, Lindsay compared the forthcoming encounter to a wager of a gold rose-noble against a bent halfpenny.

    After the battle of Flodden, in December 1513, Lord Lindsay was appointed a counsellor to Margaret Tudor. The arrangement did not last as Margaret married the Earl of Angus and John Stewart, Duke of Albany became regent. In May 1524 Regent Albany appointed Patrick and his son and grandson joint Sheriffs of Fife.

    He was succeeded as Lord Lindsay by his grandson, John Lindsay, son of John Lindsay of Pitcruvy, Master of Lindsay.

    Patrick married Isabella Pitcairn about 1470 in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. Isabella (daughter of Henry Pitcairn, 10th Laird of Pitcairne and Elizabeth Ramsay) was born in 1456 in Perthshire, Scotland; died in 1526 in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
