Introduction.

THE name of Stewart is derived from the high office held by the earlier members of the family — namely, that of High Stewart of Scotland — and owing to the long connection of Scotland and France several members of the family went to the latter country. In the French alphabet there is no "w," and so " u " replaced it, the name thus becoming " Steuart," and as the " e " was then superfluous it was dropped, and the name was shortened into " Stuart." A branch of the family took the name of Menteth, which later became Menteith, Monteith, and Menteath.

As regards the Armorial Bearings, the principal charge is the fess chequy or bend chequy — that is, a belt across the shield composed of rows, usually three, of squares, alternately blue and silver in the case of the Stewarts, and black and silver in that of the Menteths. This charge is supposed to be derived from the chess, or chequered, board used by the Stewards in calculating their accounts.

In this book the Arms are taken from the catalogues of seals by Henry Laing and Wm. Rae Macdonald, from Nisbet's Heraldry, Sir David Lindsay's Manuscript, R. R. Stodart's Scottish Arms, Sir James Balfour Paul's Ordinary of Scottish Arms, and the different histories of the family.

The letterpress deals only with the males of the family, and the first recorded members of the race are taken from J. Horace Round's Peerage Studies. The pedigrees of the different branches are founded on the particular histories of the different lines, and other works mentioned on page Z6, also on Nisbet's Heraldry, Douglas' Peerage and Baronetage, The Complete Peerage, by G. E. C, The Scot's Peerage, and for the modern portion on Burke's and Debrett's Peerages.

As it was found impossible in many cases to place the Cadets of a house in their proper order of seniority, I have in all cases placed them in alphabetical order ; but as regards the main lines, I have first traced the history of the Royal Stewarts from their first recorded ancestor down to the brother of Prince Charles Edward, and then worked backwards, tracing the next senior line, whether legitimate or

iv INTRODUCTION

illegitimate, ending with the Menteths. Then follow the Stewarts, who probably, but have not yet been proved so, belong to the principal family, and, lastly, come the families and individuals whom I cannot connect with the Royal race.

I have to express my thanks to Mr Francis J, Grant, Rothesay Herald, for the assistance he has given me in adding the crests and mottoes, as they are not given in the Ordinary ; and also to Mr J. K. Stewart, the Honorary Secretary of the Stewart Society, for revising the proofs and for many valuable suggestions.

The Royal Stewarts.

BACK to the earliest recorded ancestor, the Stewarts are always found occupying a position of prominence, and the proverbial "first mean man" of this ancient race is still to be discovered. Alan the " dapifer " seneschal or steward was probably the first of the race, so far as our present knowledge extends, and his eldest son is supposed to be Alan "dapifer" at Dol, in Brittany, who took part in the Crusade of 1097, and died apparently without issue. He was succeeded by his brother Flaald (the Fleance son of Banquo of Shakespeare), who had a son Alan Fitz Flaald, who is believed to have accompanied King Henry I. to England. There he was made Sheriff of Shropshire, and founded Sporle Priory in Norfolk. His third son, Walter, accompanied King David I. from England to Scotland, being then appointed High Stewart, an office which later became hereditary in the family. The third High Stewart adopted the name of his office as his surname — " Stewart." Walter, the sixth High Stewart, commanded part of the victorious Scottish Army at Bannockburn in 13 14, and the following year he married Marjorie, daughter of King Robert Bruce. Their son succeeded to the throne as King Robert H. — the first of the Stewart kings. He was followed by his son. King Robert HI., from whom downwards misfortune dogged the whole race. Of his successors named James, the first was murdered, the second killed by the bursting of a cannon, the third murdered, the fourth killed at Flodden 15 13, and the fifth died of a broken heart. The daughter of the last was Queen Mary, whose first husband died within a year of succeeding to the throne of France. Her second husband, Henry, Lord Darnley, was murdered, and her third husband, the Earl of Bothwell, was attainted 1569, and died in Norway six years later. Queen Mary herself was executed in England. Queen Mary's son, King James VI., was pater- nally a Stewart of Lennox, and his share of the family curse was borne by those who during his long minority acted as Regents, his uncle the Regent Moray being assassinated, the Regent Lennox shot, and the Regent Morton beheaded. King James VI. succeeded to the throne of England in 1603, ^^'^ cli^d peacefully, but his son, Charles I., was beheaded in 1649, and /it's son, Charles II., was not "restored" to the throne till 1660. Charles died without legitimate issue, and was succeeded by his brother, James VII., who, by his adherence to the Roman Catholic religion, caused a revolution, which ended in his exile in 1688. His successors on the throne were the daughters of his first marriage, Mary and Anne ; the first had no children, and the last had many, only one of whom reached

12 THE ROYAL STEWARTS

the age of ten. By his second marriage King James VII. had a son, James, the " chevalier de St. George," who made an unsuccessful attempt to recover the throne in 171 5, and died in Rome 1766. His son Charles Edward attempted to recover the throne for his father in 1745. He landed almost alone in Scotland, and the Highlanders flocked to his support ; he entered Edinburgh, defeated the Government troops at Prestonpans, marched into England as far as Derby, retreated to Scotland, defeated Hawley at Falkirk, but was himself beaten at Culloden. A reward of ;^30,ooo was offered for his discovery, but all honour to the poor Highlanders, no traitor was found amongst them, and the Prince eventually escaped. He became dissipated in his later years, but the kindly hand of time has wiped the memory of them away, and there remains only the gallant young man, " Bonnie Prince Charlie," who, as " King of the Highland Hearts," will reign much longer than any earthly sovereign. His brother, Henry, Cardinal York, succeeded to his claims, but did not put them in force. He received an annuity of ;!f4000 from King George HI., and on his death in 1807 the following inscription in Lafin was placed on his monument : —

"henry IX., KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, NOT BY THE WILL OF MAN, BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD."

So ended the Royal Stewarts.

(i) Alan, "Dapifer" was probably the father of Alan "Dapifer" at Dol, in Brittany, who was a witness in 1086 ; Flaald ; and Rhiwallon, a monk.

(2) Flaald, the second son, occurs as " Float filius Alani dapiferi " at the dedi-

cation of Monmouth Priory iioi. He is also mentioned as brother of Alan, the other " Dapifer." He left a son : —

(3) Alan Fitz Flaald, Sheriff of Shropshire and founder of Sporle Priory. He

married Aveline, daughter of Ernulf de Hesdin, and had three sons — Jordan Fitz Alan ; William Fitz Alan, ancestor of the Fitz Alans, Earls of Arundel ; and Walter Fitz Alan.

(4) Walter Fitz Alan, the third son, accompanied King David I. to Scotland,

and was appointed High Stewart. He was founder of Paisley Abbey, and he married Eschyna de Molle, widow of Robert de Croc and daughter of Thomas de Londoniis. He died 1177, leaving two sons, Alan and Simon, the latter being claimed (without proof) as ancestor of the Boyds.

(5) Alan, the elder son, succeeded as SECOND High Stewart. On his death,

1204, he left two sons, David and Walter. Hrfn0. — The Seal of the second High Stewart attached to a charter dated 1 190, shows the/ess chequy on the shield (Laing). [Plate I., fig. i. ]

Albany.

KING Robert II. died in 1390, but in 1388, owing to his weakness of body and mind, it was decided to appoint a Regent. As the King's eldest son and heir was little stronger than himself, the choice fell on the third son, Robert, Earl of Fife, and he continued as Regent when King Robert III. succeeded ; but in 1398 the King appointed his eldest son David as Regent, and in the same year the first Dukes were created in Scotland — David the heir was made Duke of Rothesay, a hamlet in the Island of Bute, and Robert, Earl of Fife, was made Duke of Albany, practically of all Scotland. In 1402 Rothesay attempted to seize St. Andrews Castle, but was captured by Albany, taken to Falkland Tower, where he is said to have been starved to death. After the Prince's death Albany regained his power. King Robert III. died in April 1406, and his eldest son James having been captured by the English about a month before, Robert, Duke of Albany, was once more appointed Regent. At this time his son Murdoch was also a prisoner in England, but in 1416 the Regent exchanged the Earl of Northumberland for him, and d>-ing in 1420 was succeeded in the Regency by this son Murdoch, second Duke of Albany. In 1424 King James I. returned to Scotland, and was not long in wreaking vengeance on the House of Albany, which had so long ruled in his place. In 1425 Murdoch,

In 1 361 became Earl of Menteth (S.) in right of his wife. Became Earl of Fife (S.) 1 371. In 1398 he was created DuKE OF Albany (S.). On the death of his brother (No. 57), probably in 1406, he appears to have suc- ceeded to the Earldom of Buchan (S.), but resigned it to his second son John (No. 54). He died 1420.

Avondale.

As shown below, the Stewarts of Avondale descend from the House of Albany. Walter, the second son of Duke Murdoch, had three sons, all of whom were legitimated in 1479. It is not doubted that two of these were illegitimate, but as regards the third son, Walter of Morphie, an effort is made in the Sketch of the Stuarts of Castle Stuart, Ireland, to prove his legitimacy. If we admit this view the Earl of Castle Stewart is the male representative of the Stewarts. Against the legitimacy of Walter, it must be pointed out that his son Alexander (who, if his father had been legitimate, would have represented Isabel, Duchess of Albany, and suo jure Countess of Lennox, and so entitled to the great estates of the Earldom) made no claim to the Lennox estates, but supported the claim of Elizabeth Menteth, a descendant of a younger sister of Countess Isabel.

(35) Walter of Fife, the second son of No. 34, had three natural sons : —

{a) Andrew, Lord Avondale (No. 36).

lb) Arthur.

40 THE ROYAL STEWARTS

shortly after this date was created Earl of Caithness. He died before 1389, leaving a daughter : —

(a) Euphemia, Countess of Strathearn and Caithness. After

1390 she resigned the latter Earldom to her uncle,

Walter, Earl of Atholl (No. 63). She afterwards married

Patrick Graham, who in her right became Earl of

Strathearn.

dievronels, all within a double tressure flory-counter-flory (Laing). Gold, a

Atholl, Strathearn and Caithness.

WALTER STEWART, Earl of Atholl, became on the death of his elder brother David (No. 62) the representative of the second marriage of King Robert IL, and he believed that he had a better right to the throne than the doubtfully legitimate issue of that king's first marriage, an opinion shared by many at the time. Accordingly the Earl, with his grandson Robert, Sir Robert Graham and others, conspired to get rid of the King (James L). In 1437 the King went to Perth and gave the conspirators their opportunity. The Earl's grandson was the King's Chamberlain and admitted the murderers, who not only killed the King, but wounded the Queen also. From their point of view they made a great mistake in sparing her, as she took a terrible vengeance. The Earl, his grandson. Sir Robert Graham and others were shortly afterwards captured and put to death "with a refinement of cruelty which excited horror even in that age " (Hume Brown). Their flesh is said to have been torn from their bodies with pincers, and before execution the Earl was crowned with a red hot iron crown — surely an improvement on the crown of thorns.

(63) Walter Stewart of Brechin, second son of King Robert II. (No. 10) by his second wife. He was created Earl of Caithness after 1390, on the resignation of his niece Euphemia (No. 62 a). About 1409 he was created Earl OF Atholl, and in 1427 Earl of Strathearn for life. He obtained the Lordship of Brechin with his wife Margaret Barclay. He was executed in 1437. He had two sons : —

{a) David, who had a son Sir Robert de Atholia executed 1437.

{b) Alan Stewart received the Earldom of Caithness about 1428,

on his father's resignation, but being killed at Inver-

lochy, unmarried, in 1431, the Earldom reverted to his

father.

Bute.

THE Stuarts of Bute are a very old branch of the family, which still flourishes to-day, the Marquis of Bute and the Earl of Wharncliffe being the titled representatives. Cadets of the family have also had the peerages of Stuart de Decies and Stuart de Rothesay conferred on them. John Stuart, third Earl of Bute, was Prime Minister, and not being popular owing to the people's belief that he and the dowager Princess of Wales controlled the King, a jack-boot (Bute) and a petticoat were burned at some of the meetings.

Stewarts of Bonkyl.

UNDER this head are grouped all the Stewarts who came off the main stem prior to its attaining the Crown, with the exception of the Menteths after- wards dealt with. They include the Earls of Angus, Earls and Dukes of Lennox, Earls of Galloway, Atholl, Buchan, and Traquair, Lords Lorn, Innermeath, Pittenweem, and Blantyre, the Stewarts of Appin, Grantully, Rosyth, Minto, etc. The distinguishing emblems in addition to the fess chequy are a " bend " or a " buckle " or " buckles."

(78) Sir John Stewart, called of Bonkyl, second son of Alexander, fourth High

Stewart (No. 7, U), was killed at the battle of Falkirk, 1298. He married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir Alexander de Bonkyl, in Ber- wickshire. Sir Alexander's Arms, as shown on his Seal attached to the Ragman Roll, were three buckles, and several of his grandsons and their descendants accordingly carried " buckles " in their Arms also. By Margaret de Bonkyl Sir John Stewart had five sons and one daughter, the last married the son of the famous Randolph, Earl of Moray. The sons were : —

{a) Sir Alexander (No. 79).

{b) Sir Alan (No. 82).

Stuarts of Darnley, Aubigny, and Lennox.

THIS important branch of the Stewarts rose to the highest honours in Scotland and England. Sir John Stuart of Darnley (No. 85), was Constable of the Scottish Army in France, and distinguished himself there at the victory over the English at Beauge, 142 1. He then entered the French service, and in 1423 King Charles VII. of France conferred on him the Seigneurie of Aubigny in Berry. He was afterwards slain near Orleans in 1429. The title of Lord of Aubigny continued in his descendants, but was generally held, as shown in the text, by the younger sons. The grandson of the first Lord of Aubigny was created Lord Darnley, and he assumed the title of Earl of Lennox, as he had been served heir to his great-grand- father, Duncan, Earl of Lennox. His right to this title was acknowledged by the King. His son Matthew, the second Earl, fell at Flodden with his King, along with nine other Earls, two eldest sons of Earls, ten Barons, and four eldest sons of Barons. The eldest son of the fourth Earl was the unhappy Lord Darnley, husband of Queen Mary, father of King James VI. of Scotland and I. of England. As the Earldom then merged in the Crown it was conferred on other members of this family. Esme Stuart, sixth Lord of Aubigny, rose to be Duke of Lennox, and his son added the Dukedom of Richmond to the family honours.

(82) Sir Alan Stewart of Dreghorn, son of No. 78, was killed at Halidon Hill 1333, and left three sons :—

{a) Sir John, died without issue.

{b) William, an " Escuyer," who fell with his brother, Sir John, near Orleans in 1429.

Note.— The. Stuarts of Castlemilk and their cadets of Arthurley, Craigs, Fettercairn, Finnart, and Torrence claimed to be descended from him, but the descent cannot be proved. As the male line is extinct, I mention the family here. Archibald Stuart of Castle- milk was created a Baronet 1668, but the title became extinct on the death of the fifth Baronet, 1797. Daniel Stuart, younger son of the first Baronet, was father of Sir Wm. Stuart, who succeeded to the Wishart Baronetcy, but died without issue.

Qrantully.

THE Steuarts of Grantully, an ancient branch, survived until recently. In the eighteenth century they were the centre of a dispute which divided the whole country. Sir John Steuart, third Baronet of Grantully, on 4th August 1746 married as his second wife Lady Jane Douglas, sister of Archibald, Duke of Douglas, and it was said she gave birth to twin boys in Paris on loth July 1748, when she was in her fifty-first year. The Duke of Douglas died in 1761, some of his titles became extinct, the others devolved on his kinsman, the Duke of Hamilton, while the succession to the immense estates devolved on his sister's elder son, Archibald James Edward Steuart, who then adopted the name of Douglas in lieu of Steuart. As there were grave doubts about his legitimacy the guardians of the young Duke of Hamilton took the matter up, and the "Douglas Cause" began. The case was tried in Edin- burgh 1767, seven judges decided for legitimacy and seven against, so the President decided the matter in favour of illegitimacy. The case then went to the House of Lords and was heard in 1771, and their Lordships reversed the decision of the Scottish Court, and so Mr Douglas succeeded to the estates and was created a Peer as stated in the text.

(142) Alexander Steuart, son of No. 112, was father of: —

(143) Thomas of Grantully, who died 1453. His son, Alexander, was father

of:—

(144) John, who had two sons : —

{a) Thomas, who left a daughter, Elizabeth.

HttTl0 on her Seal, 1526. — A galley between two stars hi chief. A chief counter compony {MdiCdoxidAd). (b) Alexander (No. 145).

(a) William (No. 147).

(b) Alexander.

{c) John of Fondoynet, whose male issue became extinct 1868.

(147) William of Grantully was father of Sir Thomas and : —

(148) Sir William Steuart of Grantully and Murthly, who died 1646,

leaving four sons : —

(a) Sir Thomas, died 1688, leaving a son, John, who died 1720.

House of Menteth.

THE Stewarts of Menteth are the earliest cadets of the family, and they soon adopted the name of their Earldom as a surname. One of the family, Sir John Menteth, gets the credit of turning the loaf upside down, which was the signal for the arrest of William Wallace the patriot.

70 THE STEWARTS OF GALLOWAY

was a son of Sir Alexander Stewart of Darnley (No. 84 above) and brother of Sir John (No. 85). In corroboration they point out that the Earl of Lennox, a descendant of Sir John, styles Sir Alexander of Garlics his " near kinsman." King James VL, also a descendant of Sir John, styles the Earl of Galloway a descendant of the Stewarts of Darnley. Turning to the armorial side of the question, Sir John of Darnley has on his Seal a shield showing the fess chequy surmounted by a bend ; a bull's head for a Crest ; and two men wreathed about the middle as Supporters. The Stewarts of Garlies have the same Arms, except for the slight difference of the bend being engrailed. The Darnley Crest of a bull's head may have been derived from the Arms of the Turnbulls, and it is curious that in 1390 Sir John Turnbull of Minto calls Sir William Stewart of Jedworth (Lord Galloway's ancestor) " nepos " (grand- son), One of Lord Galloway's Supporters is a man wreathed about the head and middle, holding a club.

Andrew Stuart and others maintained that Sir William of Jedworth was a son of John de Foresta, said to be son of Sir John of Daldar, fifth son of Sir John, called of Bonkyl (No. 78). Joseph Bain, in the Genealogist, suggested that John Stewart of Easter Softlawe might take the place of the above John de Foresta.

Lord Hailes destroys both the last two suggestions by stating that Sir John Stewart of Daldar or Daldon died without issue. It will be noted that the son of Sir William of Jedworth married the great-granddaughter of Sir Walter Stewart of Dalswinton, third son of Sir John Stewart, called of Bonkyl.

(182) Sir William Stewart of Jedworth was taken prisoner at the battle of

Homildon, 1402, by "Hotspur" Percy, and was put to death by him. He was father of: —

(183) Sir John, who married Marion, daughter of Sir Walter Stewart of Dalswinton

(No. 109). They had two sons : — («) William (No. 184). {U) John, Provost of Glasgow.

(184) Sir William of Dalswinton, Garlies and Minto, had three sons :—
