Misc. Notes
Walter Stewart (d. 1246), 3rd High Steward of Scotland and Justicar of Scotland.

He was born before 1198 to Alan Fitzwalter, 2nd High Steward of Scotland and his second wife Alesta of Mar. His maternal grandfather was Morggán of Mar.

His father accompanied Richard I of England on the Third Crusade in 1191. He died in 1204 and Walter succeeded him. Instead of taking the name "Walter FitzAlan" (son of Alan), Walter adopted the name of his hereditary office and became known as Walter Stewart. Thus, he is the first Stewart from whom all the names are descended.

He was appointed Justicar of Scotland in 1230.

• Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland. Also served as Regent of Scotland.
