STEWART - The descent of this family from the Breton, Alan Fitz
Flaald, is well known and need not be re-told here but the
significant ancestry enjoyed by his son Walter, founder of
Paisley Abbey and steward to Scottish kings, came through his
mother, Avelina de Hesdin. It was the blood of the counts of
Hesdin which was venerated in Flanders, and it was that noble
heritage which persuaded those Flemings who had made their home
and their patrimony in Scotland, to allow Walter’s descendants
to occupy its throne. But Alan Fitz Flaald himself possessed a
thought-provoking ancestry which it would be unwise to ignore.
The Breton Count of Dol appointed his forebear Flaald or
Flathauld (? or Fleaunce) to the position of steward or dapifer
in his Celtic household. The legend of Banquo’s murder by
Macbeth and the flight of his son, Fleaunce, southward, was well
known in Scotland long before Shakespeare’s day; the
playwright’s information was drawn from Scottish histories. What
has never been explored by this legend’s detractors is the close
connection between medieval Wales, to which Fleaunce had
immediately fled, and Brittany, to whose charters Flaald and his
family were contributing in the second half of the 11th century.
Church paths - the so-called “saints’ paths” between Wales and
Brittany were very well trodden in the 11th century, and the
inhabitants of the two countries could speak each other’s
language. Alan Fitz Flaald’s descent from Banquo, thane of
Lochaber, need not be summarily dismissed; its attractiveness to
those who wish to retain Scotland as a wholly Celtic monarchy is
understandable.
