The title of Earl of Lindsey was created in the Peerage of England in 1626 for Robert Bertie, 14th Baron Willoughby de Eresby. His great-grandson, the fourth Earl, was created Marquess of Lindsey in 1706 and Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven in 1715. On the death of the first Duke's great-grandson, the fourth Duke, the Barony of Willoughby de Eresby fell into abeyance between the late Duke's daughters Lady Priscilla and Lady Georgiana (see the Baron Willoughby de Eresby for the later history of this title), while the other titles were inherited by his uncle, who became the fifth Duke. On the latter's death in 1809 the Marquessate of Lindsey and Dukedom of Ancaster and Kesteven became extinct, while the Earldom of Lindsey was passed on to the Duke's distant relative General Albemarle Bertie, who became the ninth Earl. He was a great-grandson of the Hon. Charles Bertie, fifth son of the second Earl. However, this line of the family also failed on the death of the ninth Earl's grandson, the twelth Earl, in 1938. The Earldom was then claimed by the late Earl's kinsman the Earl of Abingdon, a descendant of the second Earl of Lindsey by his second marriage, who was confirmed in the title in 1951.
