Early Life
Andrew Stewart was the son of
Alexander Stewart and
___. Online pedigrees give d.o.b of 9
th Feb 1470 in
Avondale, but with no source. Certainly he would have been born around this period, given the ages of subsequent descendants.
Career & Family Life
Andrew was Lord of the Bedchamber to
King James IV. He inherited the title of Lord Avondale from his grand-uncle, Andrew, the first Lord Avondale, who died in 1488 without issue.
Note that
Burke's1 gets mixed up about the lords Avondale, citing this Andrew as the 3rd Lord, when in fact he was the second, inheriting the title from his uncle. His father, Alexander, never took the title as he presumably died before his brother.
Wikipedia too is also confusing. Here, I follow the numbering from
The Scots Peerage2.
Burke's Extinct Peerages actually seems to get the numbering right.
Andrew married
Margaret Kennedy, daughter of
John, 2nd Lord Kennedy, some time before the 4
th February 1499/50 when he and his wife were both mentioned in a charter of confirmation of the barony of
Morphie.
Death
Andrew died at the Battle of Flodden Field on the 9
th of September 1513.
