About Susan Lyon, Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne

Susanna Lyon, Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne was a Scottish noble. She was the daughter of John Cochrane, 4th Earl of Dundonald, wife of Charles Lyon, 6th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and "Scotland's fairest daughter", to quote a chronicler of the time. She married Charles Lyon, 6th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, but he was accidentally killed in an brawl at Forfar by James Carnegie of Finhaven in May 1728, leaving no heir. The resulting trial is famous for establishing in Scots law the "not guilty" verdict. Later, the Countess married her servant and was shunned by her family until she died in Paris, leaving a daughter who was left penniless by her rich relatives.
