Stewart Clan

Stewart Clan

The surname Stewart is the same as Steward, indicating the official in charge of the household and treasury, whether of the king or of some court-holding earl or bishop. The Stewart family records its traditional descent from Banquo, Thane (King) of Lochaber, who makes an appearance as a character in William Shakespeare\'s Macbeth. Historically, however, the Stewarts, who would eventually become monarchs of the Scots, descended from a family who were seneschals (medieval stewards) of Dol in Brittany.
