Earl Castle Stewartとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Earl Castle Stewart, in the County of Tyrone, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1800 for Andrew Stuart, 1st Viscount Castle Stuart. The Stewart family descends from Sir Walter Stewart (died 1425), younger son of Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany, son of Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, younger son of King Robert II of Scotland. Sir Walter had several children born out of wedlock who were later legitimized. One son, Andrew Stuart, was created Lord Avandale (or Avondale) in 1459 and served as Lord Chancellor of Scotland from 1460 to 1482. Another son, Walter Stewart, became feudal Baron of Morphie and was legitimized in 1479. His grandson Andrew Stewart was created Lord Avondale in circa 1499, a reveival of the title which had become extinct on his great-uncle's death in 1488. Lord Avondale was one of the many Scottish peers who were killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
