  • Notes 
    • Walter FitzAlan, 1st Steward of Scotland. Lord O' Oswestrie,
      Title: High Stewart of Scotland
      Walter Stewart, the youngest son of Alan Fitzflaald, went to Scotland,
      where he received from David I land in Renfrew, including Paisley, and
      the hereditary dignity of High Steward or Seneschal of Scotland,
      whence the surname, Stewart, (modified by some branches to "Steuart",
      or to French from "Stuart") took origin in rein (1153-1165) of Malcolm
      IV.

      The title of Steward of Scotland was bestowed on Walter FitzAlan by
      David I, King of Scotland (1124 - 1153); under whose reign and the
      reigns of his brothers Edgar and Alexander before him, the
      Anglo-Norman feudal system and culture became more established in
      Scotland. King Malcolm IV (1153 - 1165) confirmed the honour bestowed
      by David I and made the office of Steward of Scotland hereditary in
      Walter's family.

      Walter founded the Abbey of Paisley for monks of the Clunic order in
      1160; and he defeated Somerled of the Isles in 1164.

      Walter married to Eschina de Londonius, widow of Robert de Croc and
      probably daughter of Thomas de Londonius.
