Earl of Dunfermline

Earl of Dunfermline

The title Earl of Dunfermline was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1605 for the 1st Lord Fyvie, fourth son of the 5th Lord Seton, who had been created Lord Fyvie, also in the Peerage of Scotland, in 1598. The titles were forfeit in 1690 by the 4th Earl, due to his support of the exiled King James II (in particular at the Battle of Killiecrankie).
