The Stewart family has been prominent in the British Empire and in the United States, its members having played important roles in war and in peace. Family pride is a commend~ble trait and should be cultivated. All Stewarts have just cause to be proud of their family history_ and traditions. In references No. 7 and No. 14 we find the following regarding the origin and meaning of the name Stewart. Alan, the son of Flaald (who di~d very early in the 12th century), was the parent of William Fitz-Alan, ancestor of the Earls of Arundel, and of Walter Fitz-Alan, "Steward" of Scotland, whose great grandson, Alexander, assumed "Stuart" as his surname and was the ancestor of the royal family of that name. Flaald descended, on his mother's side, from the old Princes of Wales, and from the ancient Saxon Earls of Mercia. "Stewart,, is one of the various spellings of the name. Besides _"Stuart" it is also found as "Steward,, and "Stuard". The data in this volume is gathered from reliable sources. We have selected what we consider the most important material. Many of the daughters, and sons for whom no issue was shown, have been omitted from the pedigrees. A missing symbol indicates that a name has been omitted. Those desiring further information are advised to consult the volumes men­ tioned in the list of References. The compiler hopes that, in producing this volume he is bringing to the Stewart Family information which will be of interest and value to them, and that he is rendering an important service to the public. He and his associates will be glad to give their cooperation to members of the family who are interested in having a complete genealogy of the family published. Unless otherwise plainly shown, the persons in this volume whose names are accompanied by three figures are children of the immediately preceding persons bearing immediately preceding numbers. All persons in each group bearing. the same letter as a part of their numbers, are directly related. The generations of the descendants of those bearing numbers of three figures are represented as follows.

Compiler. 6 (B) THE STEWART COAT OF ARMS COAT of Arms is an emblem or a device which is displayed by titled _persons, persons of royal blood, and their descendants. Coats of Arms were originally used for purposes of identification and recogni­ tion on the field of battle as well as in civil life. It is claimed by some writers that Coats of Arms, in a crude form, were used hy Noah's sons after the flood. There are records of other Coats of Arms, in one crude form or another, at different periods of ancient history. Heraldry, however, as we know it today, did not become of much importance until soon a~ter the invasion of England_ by ·william the Conqueror, A. D. 1066. Heraldry became of general interest at about the time of the Crusades. The Stewart Coat of Arms shown in the front of this volume is the Arms of the Stewarts of Bute, who now represent the Royal Stewarts of Scotland. The orle of the Stewarts {see Heraldic Description below) was the orle of the arms of Scotland. The arms-or a fess chequy argent and azure-was first adopted by the High Stewards of Scotland in the 12th century, allusively to the chequers of the Steward's hoard. The Scottish Stewart families of Appin and Ardsheal, Renfrew, Ardvor­ lich, Achnacone, Balnakeilly, Athenry,, Ches:6.eld, Garlies, Blackhouse and Clachglass, Co. Inverness; the Irish Stewarts of Dublin and Physgill, and many other branches of the Stewart family incorporate in their Coats of Arms this ancient insignia of the High Stewards. This is undoubtedly the most widely used of all Stewart Coats of Arms and has been in existence for many centuries. It is described in BURKE'S GENERAL ARMORY, BURKE'S LANDED GENTRY, BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE and other reliable works on heraldry, in many cases accompanied by illustrations and pedigrees. It has been used for generations by many American branches of the Stewart family. HERALDIC LANGUAGE ENGLISH DESCRIPTION drnw.

Besides its family significance this Coat of Arms makes an excellent mural decoration and inspires the admiration and comment of all who see it. It is quite appropriate that members of the Stewart family who have a pride in their ancestry should display the family Coat of Arms, in proper colors. (C) ANCIENT STEWART FAMILIES HE following titled Stewart families are listed in BURKE'S GENERAL ARMORY: James, Earl of Murray, Regent of Scotland; Earl of Orkney;· Earl of Carrick; Alexander, Duke of Albany; Alexander, Earl of Mar; Ardgowan and Blackball, Bart., 1667; Scotstown; Duke of Albany and Earl of Fife and Menteith; Lord Evandale and Ochiltree; Earl of Arran; Lord Methven; Baldorran, Co.

  • Neville's Cross 1346
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Neville's Cross 1346 Neville's Cross (17 October 1346) Parish: Durham, Bearpark District: Durham County: Durham Grid Ref: NZ 263421 (centred on Neville's Cross) Historical Context In 1346 King Edward III invaded France, won a resounding victory at Crécy on 26 August and then set about besieging Calais. To provide a diversion, King Philip of France asked his ally, David II of Scotland, to attack England. Since David was convinced that the bulk of England's fighting men were in France he was ready to accede to the request. Gathering together an army at Perth, David entered England early in October, destroying the pele tower at Liddel and oppressively occupying the priory at Lanercost. The priory at Hexham was sacked next, whereupon the Scots crossed the River Tyne at Ryton and advanced into the Bishopric of Durham. On 16 October they set up camp in the Prince Bishop's manor park of Beaurepaire, or Bearpark, a short distance to the west of Durham city. The possibility that the Scots might intervene in the war between England and France had been anticipated and on 20 August the English Regency issued a proclamation of array, appointing the Archbishop of York, Henry de Percy and Ralph de Neville to command the forces in the north. By 16 October the three leaders had assembled an army at Auckland Park, eight miles south of Durham. When, early next morning, the English advanced, a 500 strong Scottish raiding party commanded by Sir William Douglas received a rude surprise, as the Lanercost Chronicle recounts: While the Scots were plundering the town of Merrington, suddenly the weather became inclement, with thick fog.

On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

  • History of the Mackenzies Alexander Mackenzie
    History Of The Mackenzies Alexander Mackenzie THE HISTORY OF THE MACKENZIES. ORIGIN. THE CLAN MACKENZIE at one time formed one of the most powerful families in the Highlands. It is still one of the most numerous and influential, and justly claims a very ancient descent. But there has always been a difference of opinion regarding its original progenitor. It has long been maintained and generally accepted that the Mackenzies are descended from an Irishman named Colin or Cailean Fitzgerald, who is alleged but not proved to have been descended from a certain Otho, who accompanied William the Conqueror to England, fought with that warrior at the battle of Hastings, and was by him created Baron and Castellan of Windsor for his services on that occasion. THE REPUTED FITZGERALD DESCENT. According to the supporters of the Fitzgerald-Irish origin of the clan, Otho had a son Fitz-Otho, who is on record as his father's successor as Castellan of Windsor in 1078. Fitz-Otho is said to have had three sons. Gerald, the eldest, under the name of Fitz- Walter, is said to have married, in 1112, Nesta, daughter of a Prince of South Wales, by whom he also had three sons. Fitz-Walter's eldest son, Maurice, succeeded his father, and accompanied Richard Strongbow to Ireland in 1170. He was afterwards created Baron of Wicklow and Naas Offelim of the territory of the Macleans for distinguished services rendered in the subjugation of that country, by Henry II., who on his return to England in 1172 left Maurice in the joint Government.

  • Scotland: Bruce 286
    Scotland: Bruce 286 Scotland: Bruce Robert the Bruce “Robert I (1274 – 1329) the Bruce holds an honored place in Scottish history as the king (1306 – 1329) who resisted the English and freed Scotland from their rule. He hailed from the Bruce family, one of several who vied for the Scottish throne in the 1200s. His grandfather, also named Robert the Bruce, had been an unsuccessful claimant to the Scottish throne in 1290. Robert I Bruce became earl of Carrick in 1292 at the age of 18, later becoming lord of Annandale and of the Bruce territories in England when his father died in 1304. “In 1296, Robert pledged his loyalty to King Edward I of England, but the following year he joined the struggle for national independence. He fought at his father’s side when the latter tried to depose the Scottish king, John Baliol. Baliol’s fall opened the way for fierce political infighting. In 1306, Robert quarreled with and eventually murdered the Scottish patriot John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, in their struggle for leadership. Robert claimed the throne and traveled to Scone where he was crowned king on March 27, 1306, in open defiance of King Edward. “A few months later the English defeated Robert’s forces at Methven. Robert fled to the west, taking refuge on the island of Rathlin off the coast of Ireland. Edward then confiscated Bruce property, punished Robert’s followers, and executed his three brothers. A legend has Robert learning courage and perseverance from a determined spider he watched during his exile. “Robert returned to Scotland in 1307 and won a victory at Loudon Hill.

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.
