## Coat of Arms

Arms of Mr. George Crawley (1921-)

**Mr. George Crawley** (b. 21 September, 1921) is the son and only child of the late Matthew Crawley and Lady Mary Crawley. He is also his parents' fourth cousin once-removed, and his maternal grandfather's third cousin twice removed. He is the eldest grandson of Robert and Cora Crawley, and therefore the eldest great-grandson of Isidore & Martha Levinson, and Patrick & Violet Crawley.

He is a member of the Crawley Family by birth, and was a member of the Talbot Family by his mother's second marriage.

George has three aunts: Lady Edith Pelham, Marchioness of Hexham, the late Lady Sybil Branson, and Lady Josephine Crawley; and three uncles: Alexander Crawley, Tom Branson, and Herbert Pelham, Marquess of Hexham.

## Biography

The Crawley Family was holidaying with at Duneagle Castle—the Scottish estate of their relatives, the MacClares. When Mary began to feel that she was not well, she decided to go home alone. She came back to Downton early the next morning but immediately went to the hospital, realizing when she got off the train she was in labor a month early.

George was born soon after. His paternal grandmother Isobel was there, as was Doctor Clarkson. His father then arrived later. When Matthew went to Downton to relay the news to the rest of the family and return with them to the hospital, he was run off the road by a truck he neglected to see, as he was still overwhelmed by the day's events. Matthew was killed instantly by a blow to the head.

He is the closest male relative in-line to the Earldom of Grantham. Although he is Robert's grandson through his mother, his claim comes through his father's line—as Matthew's paternal great-great-grandfather was a younger son of the 3rd Earl of Grantham.

Upon his uncle's marriage in 1934, he is currently fifth-in-line, after his four younger male cousins.

## Appearance and Personality

George is very handsome, and is also complete clone of his own father: inheriting his blonde hair and bright blue eyes—which his mother gets quite emotional with every time as he grew up before her eyes.

Like his father before him, he was interested in studying law—which his mother objected at first, but eventually agreed. He is also the second Crawley member to be a member of the Royal Air Force, the first being his uncle Alex.

George is an avid fan of croquet and fencing—much to his grandfather's dismay and to his uncle's joy. He also likes rugby and has shown interest in polo.
