origin of the House of Stuart[edit]

A few words concerning the origin of the House of Stuart might be apropos: Fleance, son of Banquo mentioned in "Macbeth," fled to England after the murder of his father, and there married Guenta, a daughter of Griffith, Prince of Wales, whose wife was Eadgyth (afterwards the wife of Harold II., King of England, "The last of the Saxons"), a daughter of Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia and son of Leofric de Blackwell and the celebrated Lady Godiva. Alan, son of Fleance (or Flaald, as he was also called), was the father of Walter Fitz-Alan, who became Lord High Steward of Scotland, from which dignity he took his family name of Steward (or Stewart). His descendant, Alexander Stewart, married the Princess Marjory Bruce, daughter of Robert I., King of Scotland, and their son succeeded his maternal grandfather as Robert II., of Scotland. From him came all the succeeding Kings of Scotland and of England. Upon the lands between Galloway and the Principality of Cumbria, David 1st eventually setup large-scale marcher lordships, such as Annandale for Robert de Brus, Cunningham for Hugh de Morville, and the Lordship of Strathgryfe for Walter fitz Alan. Walter had sided with Matilda. Another supporter of Matilda her uncle was David I king of Scotland from the House of Dunkeld. 2607:FB91:1018:804B:884A:4203:74A7:C727 (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
