=Biography=
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. In 1258-59, Walter accompanied Louis IV of France on his Crusade, according to tradition. 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.
About 1260, when the Countess Isabella and her husband were forced to leave Scotland, the magnates of Scotland arranged the marriage of her sister, Mary, to Walter Stewart, who took possession of the lands and title, with questions of legal ownership being reserved. 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.
In 1258 Walter married Mary I, Countess of Menteith. Walter took the name of Menteith after succeeding to the Earldom of Menteith in right of his wife, and differenced the Stewart arms by changing the fess to a bend and the Azure squares of the check to Sable. They had two sons as issue, both of whom assumed the surname Menteith and at least one daughter.
Children of Walter Stewart & Mary Menteith;
* 1. Alexander, Earl of Menteith, who succeeded to the earldom.
* 2. Sir John de Menteith, notorious as the betrayer of Sir William Wallace.
8 3. Elena Stewart, who married John Drummond, 8th. Thane of Lenox.
