Clan Swinton

J'espere (I hope)

Swinton is a Scottish Borders family that takes its name from Swinton in Berwickshire, where the Swintons were lairds from the 12th century. Henry de Swinton swore fealty to Edward I at Berwick in 1296, and Sir John Swinton, who unhorsed and slew the Duke of Clarence at Beauge, fell at Verneuil in 1424. The family's earliest origins are told differently by different sources, so no founding date is given here.
