Lord Lovat is a title in the Peerage of Scotland dating to 1458. It is held along with the title of Baron Lovat in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The Peerage of Scotland is the division of the British Peerage for those peers created in the Kingdom of Scotland before 1707. ... The Peerage of the United Kingdom comprises most peerages created in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the Act of Union in 1801. ...

In 1697, after the ninth Lord Lovat died, Simon Fraser, his brother, kidnapped and forcefully married the late Lord's widow Amelia. However, Lady Lovat's powerful family, the Atholls, were angered, and prosecuted Fraser, who fled the country. Fraser was convicted in absentia, attained, and sentenced to death. Due to his attainder, he could not succeed to the Lordship when the tenth Lord, also his brother, died.

In 1715, however, Fraser supported the Government against a Jacobite uprising and was rewarded by being pardoned for his crimes. In 1730, he won litigation seeking to confirm his title of Lord Lovat. In 1745, however, Lord Lovat participated in an uprising against the Crown and was therefore sentenced to death. He was beheaded on Tower Hill in London, becoming the last man to die in this manner. His titles, furthermore, were forfeit. This article is not about the Jacobite Orthodox Church, nor is it about Jacobinism or the earlier Jacobean period. ... Tower Hill is an elevated spot outside the Tower of London and just outside the limits of the City of London in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. ...

Later, in 1837, Thomas Fraser, who would have succeeded to the title but for the forfeiture, was created Baron Lovat in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. In 1854, the attainder of the eleventh Lord was reversed, so Thomas Fraser became the twelfth Lord Lovat.
