Alexander Stewart High Steward , High Steward, son of Walter Stewart High Steward , High Steward and Beatrix Gilchrist De Angus. Born 1214 at of Dundonald,Scotland, died 1283 at Dundonald,Ayrshire,Scotland, 68 or 69 years Married <1242> at Jean MacCrory, daughter of James MacCrory Lord of Bute , Lord of Bute and Ragnhild de L'Isle. Born ± 1218 at of Bute,Scotland, died UNKNOWN at Dundonald,Ayrshire,Scotland Bute, a small island off the southwest coast Scotland, with the Isle of Arran off to its southwest, where the Dalraidia "Scots" Irish under Fergus landed in ?865 A.D. In the CLANS OF THE ISLANDS, Sir Iain Moncriffe of that Ilk and Lord Lyon and one of the great historians of Scotland, alludes to the "possibility" and other more modern historians agree that the Angus mac Somerled, Lord of Bute and Arran, the father of Seumas (James) both slain in 1210, then Jean mas Seumas, was the heiress of the title of Marchiness of Bute and Arran and since SOMERLED (local king of of Argyll), King of the South Isles had Gaelic and Pictish Ancestry, Jean's title and inheritance would then go to her first son, who would carry her title as his name. Bute, in the Gaelic in the femine form would be Buidhe. When Jean married Alexander, the Steward of the Scots, I believe their first son was Robert of Buidhe or the Englished version, Boyd. If supposedly the Boyds were Saxon or Underlings or the deMorevilles, how and why at the Battle of Largs would a non-noble be given command of a force by King Alexander of Scots? The Stewarts have harbored Bute as their own when how it came to them, it is just assumed that Alexander had inherited from his wife, Jean? Children: 1.
