The 11th Lord Lovat [c1668-1747], Simon "The Fox" has been called the 11th, 12th or 13th Lord Lovat, depending on where an author began the count and, thanks to the attainder of the Lovat title in 1747, the 12th and 13th designations were never used.
So, when Thomas Alexander Fraser, 10th of Strichen [1802-1875] proved his claim to the title and matriculated arms of Lovat and Strichen in 1857, he became the 14th Lord Lovat (but for the attainder).
Simon Fraser of Lovat [1726-1782], were originally assigned the regimental designation of 63rd of Foot, but renumbered as the 78th following the capture of Louisbourg in 1758.
