Andrew Stewart (c. 14261488) was Lord Chancellor of Scotland from 1460 to 1482 and one of the leading servants of King James III of Scotland. ==Early life== Andrew Stewart was born c. 1426〔Two possible dates are given for Andrew's Stewart's date of birth, 1426 and 1438. 1438 seems unlikely as his father died in 1429, but this date also is disputed by some sources.〕〔 in Antrim, Ireland, and was the youngest illegitimate son of James the Fat, who in turn was the sole surviving son of Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, executed for treason in 1425 by King James I of Scotland.〔(James Beag Stewart at Stewarts of Balquhidder webpage ) Retrieved November 2010〕〔Nelker, p.19〕〔Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 54. This source suggests he was the son of Walter Stewart, who died in 1425, executed along with his father the Duke of Albany. Retrieved November 2010〕 When his grandfather the Duke of Albany was executed by the vengeful King James I in 1425, his father James Mor Stewart fled Scotland and took refuge in Ireland. Andrew Stewart was the youngest of approximately seven children. After his father's death in 1429〔Confusingly, some sources say James the Fat died in 1449, not 1429〕 Andrew Stewart was raised at the court of his paternal grandmother Isabella, Countess of Lennox. It may be that Isabella, having seen her own children and husband executed by James I of Scotland, took pity on her dead son's children and brought them to her own court. Andrew attended a university in England, in which country he was knighted before 12 July 1437 with his brother Murdoch. As well as Murdoch and Marion, two other siblings, Arthur and Walter, are known. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Stewart, 1st Lord Avandale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
