	The "Lee Penny" owned by the Lockhart family
	The Lockhart family are descended from Sir Simon Loccard of the Lee, a fourteenth century Scottish crusader who first obtained an amulet (the "Lee Penny") which, over the ensuing centuries, became famous throughout Scotland, and which has been immortalised in literature as the basis for Sir Walter Scott's The Talisman, although that novel is set during the time of Richard the Lionheart.
	After the death of Robert I of Scotland (Robert the Bruce) in June 1329, Sir James Douglas was given the task of carrying Robert's heart to the Holy Land for burial in the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, but while on his way there, he joined King Alfonso XI of Castile in a crusade against the Moors in Granada in Spain, where Douglas was killed at the Battle of Teba on 25 August 1330. Douglas was accompanied by Sir Simon Loccard, who held the key to the casket in which Douglas carried the late king's heart. This is reflected in the family motto of the Lockharts - "Corda Serrata Pando" - "I open locked hearts" and also in the family name.
	During the course of one of the battles in this campaign, Sir Simon captured a wealthy Moorish emir. The emir's mother (or wife in other versions of the story) offered Sir Simon a large sum of money to ransom him, and whilst counting out the ransom money, she dropped what appeared to be a pebble. She was so anxious to pick it up that Sir Simon felt that the pebble must be a valuable gem and demanded that it be added to the ransom.
	The woman agreed and further explained that the stone possessed healing powers that would cure all diseases known to man and beast. The stone is dark red in colour, and is set in a silver groat (i.e. a 4 penny coin) minted during the reign of Edward I of England. According to the emir's mother, the coin was to be dipped into water three times and swirled around, with the water then being used to wash the diseased portion of the person or animal concerned. No money was to be asked for or accepted from those seeking to be cured.
	According to tradition, the amulet was frequently used to cure illness and disease. In 1629, during an outbreak of plague amongst oxen in Newcastle, the amulet was said to have been used to cure them, although the good folk of that town were required to deposit £6,000 to ensure the amulet's safe return. On another occasion, it is related that Lady Baird of Sauchtonhall, who had been bitten by a mad dog and was showing the symptoms of rabies, was washed in water in which the amulet had been dipped, and made a complete recovery.
	During this time, the local Presbyterians attempted to charge the current owner of the amulet with sorcery, but their action failed because it was demonstrated that the use of the amulet had not been accompanied by the speaking of any words which could be seen as being an incantation.
	As far as I am aware, the amulet remains in the possession of the Lockhart family.
	Sir Charles Henry Augustus Frederick Lockhart-Ross, 9th baronet
	Sir Charles succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1883, when the new baronet was only 11 years old.
	According to a gossip column published in The Washington Post of 3 December 1901:-
	"[Sir Charles] comes from a family which is renowned for its eccentricity, and he distinguished himself as soon as he came of age by instituting an extraordinary lawsuit against his widowed mother for having, during his minority, spent more of the revenues of his estates upon than she was entitled to by law or by the terms of the will. In her defense it must be said that her only extravagances were in cases where he was concerned. While he was at school at Eton, she furnished him with a magnificent ocean-going steam yacht, a large sailing yacht, the most superbly appointed and biggest steam launch for river use on the Thames, a coach and four, and heaven only knows what else besides. In fact, in all of the history of Eton, extending over six centuries, there has never been a boy there who enjoyed such a command of money as Charlie Ross. …
	Of Sir Charles Ross' father it is told that one winter he became greatly irritated over the fact that he could find nothing for the army of workmen on one of his Scotch estates to do owing to the frost and snow. So at last, he hit on a plan. He gave out that he had lost a sixpence somewhere in the grounds, and set the men to find it. They searched and searched among the snow with no success. In the end, one of them, anxious to relieve himself and his fellow-employees of so ridiculous a task, even at the sacrifice of a bit of silver, handed his master a sixpence, and informed him that he had found the coin. Sir Charles instantly dismissed him for lying, explaining that he had not really lost any money at all.
	His father [i.e. the 7th baronet] was still more odd, for he was so passionately fond of poultry that he insisted on having all the rooms at Balnagowan Castle littered with straw so that he might enjoy the pleasure of watching the chickens scratch and scrape among it. In his days there was not a room in the castle in which was not apt to tread upon a sitting hen, or a new laid egg, hidden among the straw, and one of the very first things that his successor was obliged to do on succeeding to the property was to floor and wainscot afresh every room in the castle.
	The special remainder to the baronetcy of Lopes created in 1805
	From the London Gazette of 1 October 1805 (issue 15848, page 1245):-
	The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to Manasseh Lopes, of Maristow-House, in the County of Devon, Esq; with Remainder to his Nephew, Ralph Franco, Esq.
	Sir Lambton Loraine, 11th baronet
	Sir Lambton pursued a naval career, eventually retiring as a Rear-Admiral. In 1873, he was in command of the British warship Niobe when he became a central figure of an incident which has passed into history as the "Virginius Incident".
	At the time of our story, Cuba had been under Spanish rule for over 350 years. During this period, there were frequent rebellions against the authoritarian rule of the Spanish, culminating in the 'Ten Year War' which occurred between 1868 and 1878. During this period, the Cuban insurgents received help from American and British 'filibusters', who used the US-flagged Virginius to transport men and guns to aid the rebels.
	The Virginius was a sidewheel steamer of around 500 tons which had previously been a blockade-runner during the American Civil War. Because of its role in assisting the Cuban rebels, the Spanish authorities viewed the Virginius as being a pirate ship
	On 23 October 1873, the Virginius steamed out of Kingston, Jamaica, loaded with around 160 men. Many of these men were, however, mere passengers who had no idea of the alternative purpose of the voyage. At Port-au-Prince in Haiti, 300 Remington rifles and 300,000 rounds of ammunition were taken on board. The Virginius then set sail for Cuba, but about six miles from the Cuban coast, off present-day Guantanamo, it was intercepted by the Spanish warship Tornado. Then began a desperate chase; the Virginius steamed towards Jamaica, throwing overboard all that could be spared (including the guns and ammunition) in order to lighten the ship, but the Tornado finally caught up with the fleeing Virginius about 6 miles off the Jamaican coast (in British territorial waters) and the captain of the Virginius had no option other than to surrender.
	The Virginius was towed by the Tornado into the harbour of Santiago de Cuba, where they arrived on 1 November 1873. There were immediate protests made by the American and British authorities. The Virginius was sailing (illegally) under the American flag, and had been captured in British waters. The Spanish commandante refused to meet with the US and British consuls and sentenced the vast majority of the Virginius's complement to death on charges of piracy. A number of men were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, ranging from 4 years to life. The four ranking officers of the Cuban insurgents were executed by firing squad on 4 November 1873. On 7 November, another 37 were executed and a further 12 on 8 November.
	News of the capture of the Virginius and the subsequent executions reached Jamaica via a clandestine message sent by a Cuban employee of the British Cable agency in Santiago de Cuba. Since it was suspected that some members of the ship's crew were British and that the ship had been captured in British waters, the Niobe was sent to investigate the situation. The Niobe arrived on 8 November and Sir Lambton immediately sent the following note to the Spanish commandante:-
	"I have no instructions from my government because they are unaware of what is happening; but I assume the responsibility and am convinced that my conduct will be approved by Her Britannic Majesty, because my actions are pro-humanity and pro-civilization. I demand that you stop this dreadful butchery that is taking place here. I do not believe that I need to explain what my actions will be in case my demand is not heeded."
	The commandante gave in to Sir Lambton's implied threat and immediately suspended any further executions. Some sources say that Sir Lambton had threatened to sink all of the shipping in the harbour and to bombard the town, but this appears to be a later embellishment, and, in any event, gets the town wrong by stating it was Havana, rather than Santiago de Cuba. The Americans were very grateful for Sir Lambton's intervention - he was given the freedom of the city of New York and was presented with a gold brick from the miners of Montana and a silver brick from the miners of Virginia City, Nevada.
	The special remainder to the baronetcy of Lovett created [?] in 1808
	From the London Gazette of 3 September 1808 (issue 16178, page 1195):-
	The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to Sir Jonathan Lovett, of Liscombe-House, in the County of Buckingham, Baronet of Great Britain, and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten, with Remainders severally to the first and every other Son and Sons successively of Elizabeth Lovett, his eldest Daughter, and of Letitia Lovett and Arabella Lovett, two other Daughters of the said Sir Jonathan Lovett, and their respective Heirs Male.
	It is not clear, however, whether this creation ever passed the Great Seal, and therefore came into existence. The creation of 1808 does not appear in Burke's Extinct Baronetage.
	The special remainder to the baronetcy of Lubbock created in 1806
	From the London Gazette of 1 April 1806 (issue 15906, page 422):-
	The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland unto John Lubbock, of Lamas, in the County of Norfolk, Esq; and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten; with Remainder to John William Lubbock, of Lamas, in the County of Norfolk aforesaid, Esq; Nephew of the said John Lubbock, Esq; and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten.'
	The two baronetcies of Lucas-Tooth
	After all the heirs to the baronetcy of 1906 had been killed in World War I, and the baronetcy had, as a result, become extinct, the baronetcy was re-created in 1920 for the then 17-year-old grandson of the original grantee. The recreated baronetcy contained a special remainder which was detailed in the London Gazette of 10 December 1920 (issue 32159, page 12190):-
	Letters Patent have passed the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland conferring the dignity of a Baronet of the said United Kingdom upon Hugh Vere Huntly Duff Lucas‑Tooth (heretofore Hugh Vere Huntly Duff Warrand), of Bught, in the County of Inverness, Esquire, eldest son of Hugh Monro Warrand, Esquire, Major on the Retired List of His Majesty's Army, to hold to him and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten; and in default of such issue to the other heirs male lawfully begotten of the body of Beatrice Maude Lucas eldest daughter of Sir Robert Lucas Lucas‑Tooth, late of Queen's Gate, in the Royal Borough of Kensington, and of Kameruka, in the County of Auckland, in the State of New South Wales and Commonwealth of Australia, Baronet, deceased, now wife of the said Hugh Munro Warrand.
	According to an article in The Washington Post of 2 January 1921:-
	King George has done a very gracious thing in reviving the baronetcy originally bestowed upon Sir Robert Lucas‑Tooth, the great Australian multimillionaire and philanthropist. Sir Robert had three sons, all of whom took part in the great war.
	The two eldest boys [Douglas and Selwyn] fell in the early months of the conflict, the second, an officer of the Ninth Lancers, displaying so much heroism that he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order after his death. Sir Robert, overwhelmed with grief, succumbed early in 1915, leaving the baronetcy to his youngest son, Archibald, who went through the entire campaign, dying on the very eve of the armistice [actually 4 months before it] of wounds, shell shock, and of consequent illness contracted at the front in France.
	The eldest daughter of Sir Robert, that is to say, the sister of these three brothers who gave their lives for their country in the great war, is married to Major Hugh Munro Warrand, of Bught, Inverness-shire. Her eldest son, Hugh, was a favourite of his grandfather, Sir Robert, and the latter a short time before his demise made a will, according to the terms of which, in the event of his only surviving son, Archibald, dying without male issue, Hugh was to succeed to the bulk of his fortune, and to assume the name of Lucas‑Tooth, as well as his armorial bearings. The young fellow therefore became Hugh Lucas‑Tooth, and it is in his favor that King George has revived his grandfather's baronetcy.
	The late Sir Robert Lucas-Tooth was not Australian born [yes, he was, in Sydney], as are so many of those Antipodean multimillionaires, but hailed from Cranbrook, in Kent, and as Robert Lucas rowed in the Eton eight, in 1863. While quite young he emigrated [i.e. returned] to Australia where his uncle, Frederick Tooth, was one of the early land owners of the city of Sydney. As Sydney developed in size and importance, Frederick Tooth acquired colossal wealth, thanks to the phenomenal increase in the value of his real estate holdings [and, in particular, the value of the brewer, Tooth & co. , in which he was a partner, and later managing director].
	His [Frederick's] only daughter and heiress [Helen] married her first cousin, Robert Lucas, who added his father-in-law's name to his own patronymic and who after sitting in the Parliament of New South Wales went to England to live. He contested unsuccessfully the Loughborough division of Leicester in 1895 on the Conservative ticket, contributed most generously to the Unionist party exchequer, and received his reward on the fall of the Unionist government in 1905 in the shape of a baronetcy.
	The late Sir Robert was regarded as the leading authority on Australian finance, and was chairman of the Bank of New South Wales. He was one of the chief backers of Sir Edward Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, and shortly before the war gave a quarter of a million dollars [£50,000] toward a boys' military training fund in London, after the model of the Australian cadet system, founded at the instance of Lord Kitchener after the latter's visit to the Antipodes in 1909. Sir Robert also furnished the money needed for the organisation at the front in France of a complete Australian field hospital, with several hundred beds, of which the late Lady Dudley, wife of the former governor general of Australia, assumed the direction, and acted as superintendent.
