==History==
=== Oreegins o the clan ===

The Stewart faimily records its traditional strynd frae [[Banquo]], [[Thegn|Thane]] o [[Lochaber]], who maks an appearance as a character in [[William Shakespeare]]'s [[Macbeth]]. Historically, housomeivver, the faimily appears tae be descendit frae a mediaeval faimily who wur [[seneschal]]s o [[Dol-de-Bretagne|Dol]] in [[Breetany]], the earliest recordit bein Flaald.<ref>[http://thepeerage.com/p511.htm#i5105 Lineage traceable from Flaald fitz Flaald at thePeerage.com]</ref><ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Thay acquired launds in [[Ingland]] efter the [[Norman conquest o Ingland|Norman conquest]], an muivit tae [[Scotland]] wi mony ither [[Anglo-French]] faimilies when [[David I o Scotland|David I]] ascendit tae the throne o Scotland. The faimily wis grantit extensive estates in [[Renfrewshire]] an in [[East Lowden]] an the office of [[Heich Stewart o Scotland]] wis made hereditary in the faimily.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Walter, the son of Alan or Fitz-alan wis the founder of the royal faimily of Stewarts. He wis the first of the faimily tae establish himsel in [[Scotland]]. Walter's elder brither cried William wis the progenitor of the faimily of Fitzalan who war the [[Earls of Arundel]]. Thair faither who wis a Norman mairit suin efter the [[Norman Conquest]]. He mairit the dochter of Warine, sheriff of [[Shropshire]]. He acquired the manor of Ostvestrie or Oswestry on the [[Wales|Welsh]] border. On the daith of King [[Henry I o Ingland]] in 1135 Walter an William supported the claims of [[Empress Maud]] an in daein sae raised themselves heich in the favour of her uncle King [[David I of Scotland]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

In 1141 Walter accompanied King David I tae retire in Scotland on promises made tae him bi the Scottish monarch which war faithfully fulfilled. His brither William houiver remained in [[England]] an wis rewairdit bi [[Empress Maud]]'s son, King [[Henry II o Ingland]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

In Scotland Walter obtained frae King [[David I o Scotland]] lairge grants o laund an property in [[Renfrewshire]] as well as in mony ither places, thegither wi the hereditary office of Senescallus Scotiae, [[Heich Stewart o Scotland]]. Frae this title Walter's grandson, cried Walter an aw, teuk the name Stewart, which wis forever efterwairds retained bi the faimily. This Walter wis rewairdit launds bi King [[Malcolm IV o Scotland]] an aw. Walter is celebratit as the foonder o Paisley Monastery in 1163 in the barony o Renfrew. Walter marriet Eschina de Londonia, Lady o Moll, in [[Roxburghshire]]. Walter dee'd in 1177, he wis succeedit bi his son Alan Stewart.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Alan dee'd in 1204 leavin a son cried Walter who wis appointit bi King [[Alexander II o Scotland]] as justiciary o Scotland in addition tae the hereditary office o heich stewart. This Walter dee'd in 1246 leavin fower sons an three dochters. The third son cried Walter wis [[Yerl o Menteith]] [[jure uxoris]]. The eldest son, cried Alexander marriet Jean, the dochter an heiress of James [[Lord of Bute]]. In her richt thair son James Stewart seizit baith the [[Isle o Bute]] an [[Isle o Arran]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===Wars o Scots Unthirldom===

[[Alexander Stewart, 4t Heich Stewart o Scotland]] haed twa sons, James an John. The elder, James wad succeed Alexander as chief o the clan. Durin the [[Wars o Scots Unthirldom]] the Clan Stewart gae hintle support tae King [[Robert the Bruce]]. Alexander's seicont son, kent as Sir [[John Stewart o Bonkyll (d.1298)|John Stewart o Bonkyll]], wis killed at the [[Battle o Falkirk (1298)]], fechtin in support o [[William Wallace]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Alexander's seicont son, John, who wis killed at the Battle o Fawkirk in 1298 haed seiven sons. The eldest wis Sir Alexander who wis the ancestor tae the Stewarts who wur [[Yerl o Angus|Earls o Angus]]. The seicont son wis Sir [[Alan Stewart o Dreghorn]] whose faimily became the Earls an [[Duke o Lennox|Dukes o Lennox]]. The third son wis Walter whose faimily wur the [[Yerl o Gallowa|Yerls o Gallowa]]. The fowert son wis Sir James whose faimily wure the [[Yerl o Atholl|Earls o Atholl]], [[Yerl o Buchan]] an [[Yerl o Traquair]]. The fift son Sir John Stewart wis killed at the [[Battle o Halidon Hill]] in 1333. The saxt son Sir Hugh Stewart focht in [[Ireland]] unner [[Edward Bruce]], the younger brither o King Robert the Bruce. The seivent son wis Sir Robert Stewart o Daldowie (NO the Lanarkshire Daldowie).<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

[[James Stewart, 5t Heich Stewart o Scotland|James Stewart]], the eldest son o Alexander Stewart, succeeded as the fift heich stewart in 1283. On the daith o King [[Alexander III o Scotland]] in 1286, James Stewart wis ane o sax magnates o Scotland chosen tae act as regents o the kinrick. James dee'd in the service o Robert the Bruce in 1309. James's son Walter became the saxt heich stewart. This Walter Stewart at the age o juist twinty-ane years commandit the left wing o the Scots airmy, alang wi [[James Douglas, Laird o Douglas|Sir James Douglas]] at the [[Battle o Bannockburn]] in 1314. Robert the Bruce an his wife Isabella's anerlie bairn, [[Marjorie Bruce]], marriet [[Walter Stewart, 6t Heich Stewart o Scotland]] (1293–1326), an frae him the Ryal [[Hoose o Stewart]] are descendit.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===Ryal Hoose===
Walter Stewart's son cried Robert the seivent laird-heich stewart haed been declared heir tae the throne o Scotland in 1318. Housomeivver the birth o a son tae Robert the Bruce in 1326 interruptit Robert Stewart's prospects for a time. Robert Stewart receivit frae his grandfather lairge amoonts o laund in [[Kintyre]]. During the lang an disastrous reign o King [[David II o Scotland]], Robert Stewart actit a patriotic pairt in the defence o the kinrick. On the daith o King David II athout issue on 22 Februar 1371 Robert Stewart, at the age o fifty five, succeedit tae the croun o Scotland as King [[Robert II o Scotland]]. He wis the first o the Stewart faimily tae ascend tae the throne o Scotland.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

The royal line of male Stewarts continued uninterrupted until the reign of [[Mary I, Queen o Scots]]. Mary's son [[james VI, Keeng o Scots|James VI]] an descendents, monarchs of [[Great Britain]] an [[Ireland]] frae 1603 tae 1714, continued tae uise the surname Stuart as thay war descended frae Mary's seicont husband, [[Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley]] a member of the clan [[Stewart of Darnley]]. It wis aroond this time that the seicont an interchangeable spelling of the name [[Stuart]] became common allegedly throu the French influence of Mary's upbringing. Members of this Stewart line war later foond in Kintyre, Argyll frae the early 1600's. Livin members of this faimily (discovered efter yDNA matching, approved bi the Stewart Society in Edinburgh) can be foond in the United Kinrick, Canadae an the United States.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref><ref>Stewarts of Campbeltown, Kintyre</ref>
The Stuarts held the throne of Scotland an efter the [[Union of the Crowns]] in 1603 thay held the throne o Ingland too. This wis held until the daith of Queen [[Anne o Great Breetain]] in 1714, the last monarch frae the [[Hoose o Stuart]]. Anne wis succeeded bi her cousin, King [[George I of Great Britain]] of the [[House of Hanover]]. The present Royal Faimily still haes Stuart bluid links.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===Sauchieburn an Prince James Stewart===

The [[Battle o Sauchieburn]] wis focht on 11 Juin 1488, at the side of Sauchie Burn, a brook aboot twa mile (3&nbsp;km) sooth o Stirlin, Scotland. The battle wis focht atween as mony as 30,000 troops o King [[James III o Scotland|James III]] an some 18,000 troops raised bi Scottis nobles who favoured the King's then-15-year-auld son, Prince James. Prince James ascendit tae the throne, an reigned as [[James IV o Scotland|James IV]] for twinty-five years.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

In 1489 [[John Stewart, 1st Yerl o Lennox|John Stewart]], 1st [[Yerl o Lennox]] rebelled against King James IV. James respondit bi bringin the cannon [[Mons Meg]] frae Edinburgh, an bombardin [[Crookston Castle]] seat o the Yerl o Lennox, virtually destroyin its wastren end, an ensurin a quick surrender.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===16t century===
[[Image:Clan Stewart tartan (Vestiarium Scoticum).png|thumb|right|324px|''Clan Stewart '' [[tartan]], as published in 1842 in the dubious ''[[Vestiarium Scoticum]]''.]]
During the 16t century the [[Anglo-Scottish Wars]] teuk place unner the reign of the Stewarts. England an Scotland haed focht during the fowerteent an fifteenth centuries includin the [[Wars of Scottish Independence]] at the beginnin of the 14t century. In maist cases, ane kintra haed attempted tae tak advantage of weakness or instability in the ither. For ensaumple, King [[James II of Scotland]] haed attempted tae regain Berwick during the [[Wars of the Roses]] in England. Battles wi England frae this time included: the [[Battle o Flodden Field]] in 1513, the [[Battle o Solway Moss]] in 1542, the [[Battle o Ancrum Moor]] in 1545 an the [[Battle o Pinkie Cleugh]] in 1547.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Patrick Rattray, chief o [[Clan Rattray]] wis intimidated intae giein up the Barony bi [[John Stewart, 3rd Yerl o Atholl|John Stewart]], who wis then the [[Yerl o Atholl]]. Throu the mairiage o Patrick’s niece intae the faimily, the Yerl teuk control o the Barony o Rattray an an aa teuk control o her sister. Sicweys Patrick wis driven frae his estate in 1516. He began the construction of Craighall a grand building perched on a {{convert|200|ft|m}} rock abuin the River Ericht. The stronghold of Craighall coud nae pertect him frae John Stewart the Yerl o Atholl tho an he wis murdered in 1533.

Sir John’s son Patrick defended Castle Rattray against the Stewarts of Atholl but wis forced tae burn the Castle an escape in the confusion. The Rattrays then withdrew tae Kynballoch, whaur Patrick wis later murdered bi the 3rd Yerl o Atholl’s men whilst claiming sanctuary in his ain Chapel.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

An aa in the 16t century an internal Scottish Civil War teuk place atween the Royal House of Stuarts an [[Mary I, Queen o Scots]]. The [[Battle o Langside]], focht on Mey 13, 1568, wis ane of the mair unusual contests in Scottish history, bearing a superficial resemblance tae a grand faimily quarrel, in which a mither focht her brither who wis defendin the rights of her infant son. In 1567 Mary Queen of Scots' short period of personal rule ended in recrimination, intrigue an disaster when she wis forced tae abdicate in favour of [[James VI, Keeng o Scots|James VI]], her infant son. Mary wis sent intae captivity in [[Loch Leven Castle]], while her Protestant hauf-brither, [[James Stewart, 1st Yerl o Moray]] wis appyntit Regent on behalf of his nephew. In early Mey 1568 Mary escaped, heidin wast tae the kintra of the [[Clan Hamilton]], heich amang her remainin supporters, wi the determination tae restore her rights as queen.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Sir John Rattray's third son Silvester succeeded his murdered brither, Stewart of Atholl continued tae intimidate the faimily houiver an Silvester petitioned the king for legal recognition as heir. He wis succeeded bi his son, David Rattray of Craighall. George The laird’s eldest son wis murthert in 1592 an aw.

In 1600 Archibald MacAlister, chief o [[Clan MacAlister]] alang wi Angus Og MacDonald, a [[Clan Donald|MacDonald]] chief carriet oot an attack on the indwallers o the [[Isle o Bute]] against the Clan Stuart. A year later an Archibald MacAlister an Angus Og MacDonald wur accused o bein rebels, chairgit wi [[traison]] against the ryal hoose an hanged in Edinburgh Tollbooth.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Clan Stewart wur bitter enemies wi the infamous [[Yerl o Angus|Yerls o Angus]], kent as the ''Red Douglases'' o [[Clan Douglas]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

[[Scotland in the Wars o the Three Kinricks]] wis pairt o a wider conflict kent as the [[Wars o the Three Kinricks]], which includit the [[Bishops Wars]], the [[Inglis Ceevil War]] an [[Irish Confederate Wars]]. The war wis focht atween Scots [[Cavalier|Royalists]] &mdash; supporters o [[Charles I o Ingland|Charles Stuart I]], unner [[James Graham, 1st Marquess o Montrose]], an the [[Covenanters]], who haed controlled [[Scotland]] synce 1639 an alleed thairsels wi the [[Inglis Parliament]]. The Scots Ryalists, who war allied tae the Inglis Ryalists an war aided bi Irish troops, haed a rapid series of victories in 1644&ndash;45, but war eventually defeatit bi the Covenanters.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Houiver, the Scottish Covenanters themselves then foond themselves at odds wi the Inglis Parliament an backed the claims of [[Charles II o Ingland|Charles Stuart II]] tae the thrones o Ingland an Scotland. This led tae the Third Inglis Civil War, when Scotland wis invaded an occupied bi the Parliamentarian [[New Model Army]] unner [[Oliver Cromwell]]. Cromwell wis later defeatit in Scotland.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Sir James Stuart of Bute wis creatit a Baronet of Nova Scotia bi Charles I in 1627. Early in the civil war he garrisoned [[Rothesay Castle]], an at his ain expense raised soldiers for the king. He wis appyntit royal lieutenant for the wast of Scotland, an directed tae tak possession of [[Dumbarton Castle]]. Twa frigates sent tae assist him fell foul of stormy wather, an ane wis completely wrecked. Ultimately, Sir James wis forced tae flee tae Ireland when the forces of Cromwell war victorious. His estates war sequestrated, an he wis forced tae pey a substantial fine tae redeem them. His grandson, Sir James Stuart of Bute, wis appyntit tae manage the estates an tae be colonel of the local militia on the forfeiture of the Yerl o Argyll in 1681.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===Restoration o the Stewart Monarchy===

Efter the daith of [[Oliver Cromwell]] in 1658, the factions an divisions which haed struggled for supremacy during the early years of the interregnum reemerged. [[George Monck]], who haed served Cromwell an the Inglis Parliament throughout the civil wars, judged that his best interests an those of his kintra lay in the Restoration of Charles II. In 1660, he marched his troops sooth frae Scotland tae ensure the monarchy's reinstatement. Scotland's Parliament an legislative autonomy war restored unner the Restoration, tho mony issues that haed led tae the wars; religion, Scotland's form of govrenment an the status of the Highlands, remained unresolved. Efter the [[Glorious Revolution]] of 1688, mony mair Scots wad die on baith sides, ower the same disputes in [[Jacobite rebellions]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

===18t century an Jacobite risins===
[[Image:Stewart (R. R. McIan).jpg|thumb|right|245px|A [[Victorian era]], [[romanticism|romanticised]] depiction o a member o the clan bi [[R. R. McIan]], frae ''The Clans of the Scottish Highlands'' (1845).]]
In 1703 Sir James Stewart o Bute wis creatitd [[Yerl o Bute]], Viscoont Kingarth an Laird Moont Stuart, Cumra an Inchmarnock. But bi 1706, the earl wis convincit a union wi Ingland wad be a disaster for his kintra, an he opposed it vehemently. When he realised that Parliament wad vote in favour of the alliance, he athdrew frae politics entirely. He marriet the eldest dochter o Sir George Mackenzie o Rosehaugh, the celebratit Laird Advocate an heraldic writer. Efter the succession o George I, the Yerl o Bute wis appointit Commissioner for Tred an Polis in Scotland, Laird Lieutenant o Bute an a laird o the bedchamber.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Queen [[Anne o Great Breetain]] dee'd in 1714, the last monarch frae the Hoose o Stuart. Anne wis succeedit bi her awn cousin King [[George I o Great Breetain]] o the [[Hoose o Hanover]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

The Jacobite Uprisins o the 18t century wur led bi [[Charles Edward Stuart]] who wis the exiled claimant tae the thrones o Ingland, Scotland, an Ireland, commonly kent as "Bonnie Prince Charlie". Charles wis the son o [[James Francis Edward Stuart]] kent as the ''Auld Pretender'' an aw. James Francis Edward Stuart wis in turn the son o King [[James VII, Keeng o Scots|James II o Ingland]] an Ireland, who haed been deposed in 1688. Efter his faither's daith Charles wis recognisit as "Keeng Charles III" bi his supporters but his opponents referred tae him as "The Young Pretender".<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

This resultit in the [[Jacobite risin|Jacobite Risins]] which first began in the late 17t century but did no gain momentum till the 18t century. The Clan Stewart focht at the [[Battle o Killiecrankie]] in 1689. Thair prowess in battle is celebratit bi the fact that the present [[Duke o Atholl]] maintains the [[Atholl Heichlanders]] as the anerlie private airmy in the Unitit Kinrick. Awtho mony Stewarts an Stuarts focht for the Jacobites, mony remained peaceful an aw.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

====The 'Fifteen'====

During the rising of 1715 Sir James Stuart of Bute commanded the Bute an Argyll militia at Inveraray, an throu his vigilance kept that pairt of the kintra peaceful. His seicont son, haein inherited his mither’s estates of Rosehaugh, teuk the surname Mackenzie. He became a Member of Parliament an later envoy tae [[Sardinie]], Keeper of the Privy Seal an Privy Councillor.<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

The first major Jacobite Uprising became kent as 'The Fifteen'. See main article: [[Jacobite Risings#The Rebellion/Rising of 1715 ('The Fifteen')|The 'Fifteen']]. This resulted in the [[Battle o Preston (1715)]], the [[Battle o Sheriffmuir]] an the [[Battle o Glen Shiel]] in 1719.

====The 'Fowerty-Five'====

The next major Jacobite uprising during the 18t century wis kent as the 'Forty Five'. See Main article: [[Jacobite Risings#The Rebellion/Rising of 1745 ('The Forty-Five')|The 'Forty-Five']]. During this rising the Jacobites led bi the Stuarts gained much success an support, winnin mony victories includin the [[Battle o Prestonpans]] an the [[Battle o Falkirk (1746)]]. Houiver thair success ended at the [[Battle o Culloden]] in 1746, the last major battle on mainland Britain, whaur the Jacobites war defeatit an the Breetish govrenment remained wi the [[House of Hanover]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

Charles Stewart of Ardsheal led the men of [[Clan Stewart of Appin]] during the rising of 1745, an mony fell at the grim field of Culloden, haein first gained glory bi breaking the Redcoat ranks. [[Colin Roy Campbell o Glenure]], ‘the Red Fox’, wis placed as govrenment factor on the forfeited Stewart estates. His murder in 1752 haes been immortalised bi [[Robert Louis Stevenson]] in the novel, ''[[Kidnapped (novelle)|Kidnapped]]''. Efter the chief suspect, [[Alan Breck Stewart]], made his escape, [[James of the Glen|James Stewart]], the hauf-brither of the chief, wis tried bi a jury componed entirely of Campbells at Inverary presided ower bi Argyll himsel, an, aiblins nae surprisingly, wis convicted an hanged. See main airticle: [[Appin Murther]].<ref name="The Clan Steuart">.</ref>

==Tartan==
[[Image:Clanne Stewart tartan (Vestiarium Scoticum).svg|thumb|right|324px|''ye principal clovris of ye clanne Stewart'' [[tartan]], as published in the dubious ''[[Vestiarium Scoticum]]'' in 1842.]]
The Ryal Stewart tartan is worn bi the regimental pipers o the [[Scots Guards]] an wis referred tae bi King [[George V o the Unitit Kinrick]] as "ma personal tartan". Kent as the "Ryal Tartan", it is still tradeetionally the offeecial tartan o the Ryal Hoose o Scotland. Stewart setts or patterns include 'Huntin Stewart','Stewart of Appin' an 'Stewart of Atholl' an aw as well as 'Stewart of Ardshiel','Stewart of Galloway' an numerous 'dress setts' an an  auncient pattern which supposedly predates the 'Tartan revival' o the early 1820s. It is the offeecial tartan o The Ryal Scots Regiment an Queen Victoria Schuil in [[Dunblane]], Scotland an aw.
