Earl Marischal

In Scotland, the office of Great Marischal of Scotland, which was granted to the Keith family as Knight Marischal and later on changed to Lord Marischal and later on again to Earl Marischal of Scotland, died out when a member of the family of Keith forfeited it by being part of the 1715 rebellion. It should be noted though that the role of regulation of heraldry carried out by the Earl Marshal in England is carried out by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland.
