	The Name of Lyon ~ 1
		Clan Lyon is perhaps most famous today as the clan into which HM The Queen Mother was born (August 4th, 1900) as the youngest daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, the Clan Chief.
		Her surname was Bowes-Lyon, acknowledging the family of the heiress Mary Eleanor who married the 9th Earl and brought with her the fortune of her father George Bowes, the owner of Streatham Castle.
		The first Lyon coat known is that recorded among the Scottish coats in the Armorial de Berry assembled for Charles VII of France by Gilles le Bouvier in the 15th century ~ Argent a lion Azure, overall a riband Gules (in France a single lion was then always rampant) and shown here on the right.

	The Lord Lyon and his Jurisdiction
		Lyon dismissed his petition, he appealed to the Court of Session which upheld, he appealed to the House of Lords which upheld.
		Lyon Court and the Armorial Noblesse of Scotland are thus a living survival of the old mediaeval realms, and accordingly of immense legal and social interest, perpetuating as they do the organisation and concepts of the old clan or family organisation of the kingdom."
		Lyon's decision is carefully worded, avoiding any mention of chiefship, and merely rejecting one petition (on sound genealogical ground) and allowing the other petitioner to offer proof of his claim.

		Clans identify with geographical areas originally controlled by the Chiefs, usually with an ancestral castle, and clan gatherings form a regular part of the social scene.
		Clan badges are a further sign of allegiance, and both clans and families have heraldic Coats of arms controlled by the Lord Lyon Court.
