Stewart is a common surname and is also used as a male first name. An alternative spelling is Stuart. The progenitor of the Stewart family was a Breton knight who settled in England after the Norman Conquest, where the family began a long tradition of intermarriage with another noble Norman family - the (de) Ferrer family. Within a few generations, his descendents, who had by then relocated to Scotland, became the High Stewards of Scotland, and hence the origin of the surname. One of the hereditary Stewart stewards married the daughter of Princess Margaret, daughter of King Robert I, and founded the royal House of Stuart (a French spelling). The House of Stuart was the longest serving royal dynasty of Scotland. In 1603, the Stuart King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England and Wales by succession to Queen Elizabeth I.
