Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, Strathearn and Caithness (died 26 March 1437) was a Scottish nobleman, the son of Robert II of Scotland. Stewart was an enthusiastic advocate of the ransom and return to Scotland of the future king in exile, James I, in 1424. In 1425 he served as a member of the jury of 21 which tried and executed his nephew Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany. Eventually however Atholl turned against the King and conspired in his assassination in 1437. He was tried for murder and was executed after 3 days of gruesome torture. ==Early life== He was a son of Robert II of Scotland by his second wife Euphemia de Ross, daughter of Aodh, Earl of Ross. He was also a younger half-brother of Robert III of Scotland and an uncle of the above mentioned James I of Scotland. He married first, sometime before 1378, Margaret Barclay, Lady of Brechin,〔(McAndrew, Bruce A., p.180, ''Scotland's Historic Heraldry'' ) Retrieved November 2010〕 by whom he had two sons: * Alan Stewart, 4th Earl of Caithness (d. 1431) * David Stewart, Master of Atholl (d. bef. 1437) In 1390, his niece Euphemia resigned to him the Earldom of Caithness.
