Scottish Stewart Family

The House of Stewart of Scotland

The tradition which makes the Boyds an ancient sept of the Stewarts, descended from a 'Robert Boyd,' son of Simon, brother of Walter FitzAlan, 1st. High Steward of Scotland. The article in Volume 5 of Balfour Paul's SCOTS PEERAGE (pp.136-7) questions this tradition. Here is what is known: The Boyds and the Stewarts share similar arms (a fesse cheque is, I think, the important similarity), which indicates that there was probably some sort of kinship. (This tradition is the basis for the similarity between the Stewart and Boyd tartans--the tartan affinity proves only that the Boyds and Stewarts were held to be related.)

Walter FitzAlan, 1st. High Steward, did indeed have a brother named Simon--he was a witness to the foundation charter of Paisley in 1160. The Boyds first appear in Scottish records as vassals of the de Morvilles in Largs. The Boyds were early proprietors in Renfrew (which is old Stewart country), and held the barony of Nodsdale and other lands in the reign of King Alexander III (1249-1286). The first person of the name of Boyd on record is a certain DOMINUS ROBERTUS DE BOYD MILES who witnessed a contract between Bryce de Englinton and the village of Irvine in 1205.

Here is what is known to be wrong with the tradition: There is no evidence that Walter FitzAlan's brother Simon ever came to Scotland: Although Simon did witness the Paisley charter, this charter was executed at Fotheringay in Northamptonshire, not Paisley. ALso, J. H. Round demonstrated that Simon was only Walter's HALF-brother. Simon was not a son of Alan FitzFlaald. Round showed that Simon was the SIMON DE CAISNETO or SIMON DE NORFOLC who held the Manor of Mileham. No documentary evidence brings Simon any closer to Scotland than Northamptonshire. The first Robert Boyd was said to have been called a nephew of Walter FitzAlan in the Cartulary of Paisley.

However, no such entry is to be found in the Paisley Cartulary. Anyway, even if such an entry existed, that would only make Robert a nephew of Walter, not a son of Simon, for which there is absolutely no evidence. Notice that this is Robert *DE* Boyd. The family tradition is that the first Robert, son of Simon, was called 'Boyd' because of his blonde hair--BUIDHE in Gaelic means 'fair' or 'yellow.' But the first known Boyd is called Robert *OF* Boyd. It has been observed that the Gaelic word BOID is a genetive place-name, meaning "of Bute." It seems the family came to be called 'Boyd' from the Isle of Bute rather than from the color of Robert's hair. The 'de' would be a common error for scribes writing in Latin but ignorant of Gaelic. (Bute was later to become Stewart country, but at this time belonged to the family of King Somerled's son Angus.) Putting all of this together, I cannot accept the tradition of Stewart-Boyd kinship.

The similarity of arms shows that there was probably some sort of kinship, but it need not have been through the male-line, nor even an especially close relationship. Anyway, even IF we can accept the traditional descent from Simon, because this Simon was not a son of Alan FitzFlaald, but rather of Robert de Croc, the Boyds would not have this descent from the Breton Stewards of the Lords of Dol.

I was loaned the following books : �THE MAGNA CHARTA SUTETIES, 1215� and �ANCESTRAL ROOTS OF SIXTY COLONITS Who Came to New England between 1623 and 1650� Sixth Edition. By Frederick Lewis Weis. I will post here what I found in these books and what I found in LDS CHURCH RECORDS from SCOTTISH CHURCHS RECORDS.

"The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin through Wales" by Geraldus Cambrensis; Annotations

In the time of William the Conqueror, Alan, the son of Flathald, or Flaald, obtained, by the gift of that king, the castle of Oswaldestre, with the territory adjoining, which belonged to Meredith ap Blethyn, a Briton. This Alan, having married the daughter and heir to Warine, sheriff of Shropshire, had in her right the barony of the same Warine. To him succeeded William, his son and heir. He married Isabel de Say, daughter and heir to Helias de Say, niece to Robert earl of Gloucester, lady of Clun, and left issue by her, William, his son and successor, who, in the 19th Henry II., or before, departed this life, leaving William Fitz-Alan his son and heir, who is mentioned in the text.

Ref: Burke, pg. 200-202. Ref: Crispin and Macary

1. Alan (Alain Fitz Flaald), the son of Flathald (or Flaald), having participated in the Conquest, obtained by the gift of King William the Conqueror, the barony and castle of Oswaldestre, Salop, and Milcham, Norfolk, some of which belonged to Meredith, Prince of Powys ap Bleddyn, King of Powys. He received the shreivalty of Shropshire from King Henry I. and died circa 1114. While his parentage is more or less obscure, there is evidence to show that Flaald, his father, lived in Brittany and was a brother of Alain, seneschal of Dol, descended from the old Armonican counts of Dol and Dinan. This Alan, having married Adelinedaughter and heir of Warine, Sheriff of Shropshire, had in her right, the Barony of Warine, and was succeeded by his son, William.

The following is quoted from Crispin and Macary, "Falaise Rolls," pg. 2: "Alain Fitz Flaald came to England at the Conquest in 1066 and was baron of Oswaldestre, Salop, and Mileham. He received the shreivalty of Shropshire from Henry I and died circa 1114. Wace in recording "Sire de Dinan," undoubtedly referred to him. While his parentage is more or less obscure, there is evidence to show that Flaald, his father, lived in Brittany and was a brother of Alain, seneschal of Dol, descended from the old Armorican counts of Dol and Dinan. Alain Fitz Flaald was also the father or grandfather of William Fitz Alan, steward to David I., King of Scotland, ancestor of the Stuarts, kings of that country. Alain Fitz Flaald was also the father of William Fitz Alan, to whom Henry II. gave in second marriage Isabel de Say, baroness of Clun, the greatest heiress of Shropshire. He was ancestor of John Fitz Alan, who married Isabel, sister and co-heiress of Hugh d'Albigny. Upon a division of Hugh's property at his death in 1243, the castle of Arundel was assigned to John, son of the aforementioned John and Isabel, who thus became the first earl of Arundel of the Fitz Alan line. This property eventually passed to Mary , daughter and heiress of Henry Fitz Alan, who carried it, together with the earldom and the barony of Maltravers, to her husband Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, in which family it still remains. Alain Fitz Flaald and his wife Adeline were benefactors to the Norfolk priory of Castle Acre, early in the reign of Henry I."

"Alan, founder of the Stewards" can only be Alan FitzFlaad, who never came to Scotland. It was his son Walter FitzAlan who "founded" the Stewart family in Scotland. David I made Walter the first High Steward (or Great Steward) of his kingdom.

Children:

1 William FITZALAN m'd Isabel DE SAY,her Father: Helias DE SAY

(William Fitz Alan, in the contest between King Stephen and the Empress Maud, being then Governor of Shrewsbury and Sheriff of the county of Salop, held the castle at Shrewsbury for the latter, until it was taken by assault. He was also with the Empress at the siege of Winchester Castle, in the 6th year of Stephen, when she and her whole army were put to flight; afterwards, continuing to adhere stoutly to the same cause, he was reconstituted Sheriff of Salop, when King Henry attained the crown. This William married Isabel Say, daughter and heir of Helias de Say, Lady of Clun, niece of Robert Say, Earl of Gloucester. William died some time before 1166)

Was chosen in 1286 one of the 6 regents of the kingdom under Queen Margaret. In 1297, he was associated with Wallace in his patriotic struggle with England, but in 1306 he was compelled to swear fealty to Edward 1.

In 1286 he was co-Regent of Scotland as one of the six guardians of the Realm and supported the claims of the elder Robert Bruce to the throne. Opposing Edward I, King of England's attempts to dominate Scotland, in 1295 ratified the treaty with France but, in 1297, was forced to submit to the English king.

Walter FitzAlan the 1st stewart of Scotland (1124-53). His father was Alan FitzFlaald. Nephew of Alan the Red. Walter the 6th Stewart married Marjorie Bruce. She was the daughter of "The Bruce". Walter the 6th also fought with Bruce at Bannockburn. There's so many Walter's and James'. Lady Valois

Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland born 1292, died 9 April 1327 In 1314 he commanded the left wing of the Scottish army at the battle of Bannockburn. In 1315 he married Marjorie Bruce which made him the son-in-law of King Robert Bruce. In 1316 he was Regent of Scotland during the absence of Robert the Bruce who had gone to Ireland. He defended Berwick against the English and, in 1322 with Douglas, made a raid into Yorkshire and nearly kidnapped King Edward II. He died on 9 April 1327. married (1) 1315 Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert I The Bruce, King of Scots, and Isabel of Mar died 2 March 1316 Paisley, Renfrewshire married (2) Isabel Graham, daughter of Sir Nicholas de Graham, of Dalkeith, and Mary of Strathearn. He brought a considerable force to the aid of Robert Bruce, and held, with Sir James Douglas, the command of the third division, at the glorious battle of Bannockburn. Shortly after, he was appointed to receive on the Borders, Elizabeth, Queen of Robert Bruce, the PRINCESS MARJORY, his daughter, and other illustrious Scottish prisoners, then released from captivity in England. On that occasion, it is probable, the High Steward formed an attachment to the Princess, for in a very short period (in 1315) he was married to her. In 1316, when King Robert went over to Ireland, Walter the High Steward, and Sir James Douglas, were appointed Governors of Scotland; and in 1318, on the capture of Berwick, the charge of that important acquisition was committed to the Steward, who in the following year, defended it with signal bravery against Edward II. In 1320, Walter was one of the patriots who signed the famous letter to the Pope; and in 1322, surprised, at Biland Abbey, in Yorkshire, the King of England, who, with the utmost difficulty escaped to York.

There is some confusion over which daughter is which and who are their mothers which still needs some clarification.

That Robert Stewart, the only son of Marjorie Bruce, became Robert II was the conclusion of a chain of unlikely events. His initial survival was almost miraculous, for he was delivered by Caeserean section from the body of his mother, who had died of injuries after a fall from her horse.

When he was two years old in 1318, he was acknowledged as his grandfather's heir, a position he forfeited in in 1324 on the birth of the future King David II. Forty-seven years later, when against all expectations David II had failed to perpetuate his dynasty, Robert II was crowned and anointed at Scone on 26 March 1371.

Perhaps a man andvanced to supreme poer by the delayed action of chance could not have been expected to be a very decisive ruler; but it was unfortunate that, by the standards of his time, he was well past his prime and in poor health, so that he lacked the energy required of a king responsible for every aspect of government. married (1) circa 1347 Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam Mure, of Rowallan and Jannet Mure, of Fokeltie died circa 1355 married (2) contracted 2 May 1355 Euphemia of Ross, daughter of Hugh de Ross, 4th Earl of Ross and Margaret Graham died 1372

Founder of the Stuart dynasty in Scotland and England. In 1318 the Scottish parliament passed a decree providing that if Robert Bruce died without sons, his grandson should be his successor; a son, later Kings David II, was born to Bruce in 1324. In 1326 Robert succeeded his father as steward of Scotland and in 1331 David was crowned king. David was exiled to France in 1333 and Robert served as his regent until his return in 1341. During Robert II's reign, Scotland was twice invaded by the English, in 1384 and in 1385. Because of old age infirmity, Robert did not aid the Scottish barons in resisting these invasions, nor did he join in their retaliatory expedition against the English in 1388.

4:Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany,the celebrated GOVERNOR OF SCOTLAND, born circa 1340, died 3 September 1420 Stirling In 1361 he became, in right of his wife, Earl of Menteith. However, in 1371, he became Earl of Fife by which title he was generally known. In 1388 King Robert II, his elderly father, had him appointed 'Guardian of the Realm'. In 1390, after their father's death, Fife's crippled brother, Robert III, became King of Scots. The latter, after acknowledging his own incapacity, appointed the Earl of Fife again guardian of the kingdom. However, when rivalry ensued between the two brothers, Fife was replaced by David, the king's eldest son. Later Duke of Albany & Governor of Scotland 3rd son. Regent of Scotland. Duke of Albany, Governor of Scotland. Prime Minister to Robert III, and Regent to James I. Earl of Menteith, Earl of Atholl, Earl of Buchan. Earl of Fife

In March 1398, with his nephew David, he had an interview with John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancasterm and other English commissioners. As a result both the Earl of Fife and his nephew became the first Dukes ever created in Scotland. The Earl of Fife became Duke of Albany and his nephew Duke of Rothesay.

For his complicity in the arrest and imprisonment of the Duke of Rothesay he received a remission from Parliament. When his nephew died while imprisoned, the parliamentary enquiry decided that the death had been caused by "Divine providence and not otherwise". In 1406 when his brother died and the heir, James I, was imprisoned in England, the Duke of Albany was made Regent of the Kingdom. Albany had been blamed for not securing the release of James I even though, in 1416, he was able to ransom his own son. However, it was English policy which kept James I captive. Several of Albany's opponents met with sudden, mysterious deaths. However, he was a clever politician who knew how to win people over and seemed to have governed well, though being over 65 when he became Regent, and over 80 when he died in 1420. married (1) 1361

He had been delivered to the Bishop of Chester for this purpose, but by the king's subsequent order remained in the Royal household However, he was brought up at the English court and, so strong was his attachment to England or to the English king that, when after Bannockburn he was expected to return to Scotland, on reaching Newcastle he turned back and chose to remain in England. In July 1319 he went to Scotland in the English king's service and, in June 1320, was in King Edward's train on his journey to France to do homage for Ponthieu and Aquitaine. In February 1321, he had protection for a pilgrimage to Santiago.

On 30 January 1322, as Donald de Mar, the King's yeoman, he was appointed Keeper of Newark Castle. In October 1322 he was with King Edward II at Byland when he was suprised by the Scots. When the opposition to Edward II began to merge into rebellion, Donald received two commissions to act with his whole company in the Marches of Wales against rebels and invaders. After the king's capture and deposition, Donald of Mar repaired at last to Scotland, in the hope of raising forces to restore Edward II, and led one of the three armies which entered England in July 1327.Upon his return to his native country, his own grant to Cupar and King Robert's grants to him style him as the Earl of Mr. After the death of the Earl of Moray, in spite of his leanings to Edward Baliol and his almost lifelong absence in England, he was chosen Regent to succeed Moray,probably by reason of his close relationship to the young King.However, his training and experience could not have equipped him for the duties, either military or political, of such a position, and he was killed on the 12th of August 1332. His widow, Isabel Stewart, married twice more anddied in London approximately 15 January 1348.

Changed his name from John to Robert on ascending to the throne. reigned but too injured by kick from horse to rule. Weir says died at Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire.

Robert III, king of Scots 1390-1406 born circa 1337, died 4 April 1406 Dundonald Castle. In 1388, John, Earl of Carrick, was kicked by a horse and received an injury which left him lame for life. When Robert II died in April 1390, he was succeeded by a semi-invalid who was already over fifty. Carrick took the name of Robert III as John appeared to have been an unlucky name for kings.

Between Robert III's accession and his coronation occurred one of the most notorious outrages ever committed against the royal authority. On 17 June 1390, the king's brother, Alexander, "the Wolf of Badenoch", in pursuit of a feud with the Bishop of Moray, burned the Cathedral and the town of Elgin with the parish church and the Maison Dieu Hospital. Robert III and his councillors made Alexander submit and promise reparations to the bishop of Moray. Robert III acknowledged his incapacity by delegating his authority to his next brother, Robert, Earl of Fife, who possessed both ability and ambition. However, while they acted together against their brother, Alexander, there was rivalry between the king and Robert, Earl of Fife. After a period, Robert III ousted Fife but, under his personal rule, law and order deteriorated sharply. As a result, he appointed his son-and-heir, David, as his deputy. However, despite a successful beginning, David made powerful enemies, including his own brother-in-law and his uncle, the latter imprisoning him in Falkland Castle where he died, according to a parliamentary enquiry "through Divine providence and not otherwise". However, it seems more likely that he was killed on his uncle's orders.

In 1406, in order to keep him safe from his uncle, Robert III sent James, his 12-year-old son and heir, to France. However, James's ship was captured by English pirates and he spent the next 18 years in captivity. The news killed Robert III. He had once said, "Bury me in the midden, and write: "Here lies the worst of kings and the most wretched of men". married circa 1366 Annabella Drummond, daughter of Sir John Drummond, of Stobhall and Mary Montfichet

He was caught by the English sailing to France in 1406 and held mainly in the Tower of London until 1424.

His belated rule, after a �40,000 ransom, proved severe and unpopular and he was murdered in the Monastery of the Preaching Friars at Perth by Sir Robert Graham in a family dispute over the throne.In 1424 he returned to Scotland, but was murdered by his uncle Walter, Earl of Atholl, at Perth.
