      ** TSP reported only James's marriage to Egidia Burgh. For some time, trusting TSP, we showed Egidia as mother of Walter, 6th Steward. It was not until a contributor (EN, 26.04.06) kindly pointed out that this is disputed, not least because it has been reported that Walter was born some years before James married Egidia, that we investigated further and found that, whilst many agree with TSP, it seems accepted by some (but not all) of the web sites that we have some faith in (eg. 'RoyalData' does) that the mother of Walter was in fact Cecilia of Dunbar. We follow this suggestion PROVISIONALLY and with some reservation because it seems surprising that TSP should make such a mistake on what, for many Scottish genealogists, is an important matter. Our concern is not eased by the fact that some of the web sites that identify Cecilia as mother of Walter have clearly made a mistake on the identity of Cecilia's own mother. This will be subjected to further review in due course!! **

    2. Wikipedia Encyclopedia, c 1225-1294 Walter Bailloch Stewart
      Walter Bailloch, also known as Walter Bailloch Stewart (1225/1230 - 1293/1294), was distinguished by the sobriquet Bailloch or Balloch, a Gaelic nickname roughly translated as "the freckled". He was the Earl of Menteith jure uxoris.

      Walter was a younger son of Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland, and his wife Beatrix of Angus, daughter of Gilchrist, Earl of Angus.[1] In 1258-59, Walter accompanied Louis IX of France on his Crusade, according to tradition.[1] After the death of King Alexander II of Scotland he was aligned with the "English faction", and in 1255 secured the persons of the young King and Queen, but he was not at this time allowed to a share in the government.[2] About 1260, when Isabella, Countess of Menteith and her husband Walter Comyn, Lord of Badenoch were forced to leave Scotland, the magnates of Scotland arranged the marriage of her sister, Mary, Countess of Menteith, to Walter Stewart, who took possession of the lands and title, with questions of legal ownership being reserved.[1] He was certainly using the title of earl (jure uxoris) before 17 April 1261, when he was witness to a grant to the Paisley Abbey.[2]
