Cecilia Strathearn
(Abt 1200 - Aft 1272)
== Biography ==
Alan, son of Swaine, confirmed his father's donations to this religious community in the beginning of the reign of Alexander II., and was twice designed Alanus filius Swaini. He left three sons, Walter, Henry and Alan. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Walter, who is designated in charters of that period "Walter of Ruthven," being the first of the family to assume a surname. This Walter of Ruthven became known as '''Sir Walter Ruthven''', and was the earliest ancestor of the Ruthven family. He took his surname from his lands and possessions, and in official documents is designated Walter de Ruthven, son of Alan, who was son of Swaine, son of Thor, Lord of Tibbermore. Sir Walter was therefore grandson of Swaine. '''He married Cecilia''', daughter of '''Gilbert, Earl of Strathearn'''.
