De Lundin

de Lundin (Londres, Lundie, Lundy, Lundyn, Londonius and Londoniis) is the surname of an old Norman noble family. The family descends from Thomas Londoniis c.1005, whose son William de Londres was one of the 12 Knights of Glamorgan. After the Norman conquest they settled in Fife. The family has a long military history, and was one of the most successful families in Scotland for several hundred years before losing power. The agnatic line of the family ended sometime in the 12th century, and survived only via an heiress, a certain Lady de Lundin who married Robert, the bastard son of William the Lion. Robert adopted the family name and it is from this couple that the cognatic line descends. Due to this, in 1679 King Charles II granted the family and all of its descendants the right to bear the Scottish royal coat of arms
