}
== Biography ==
James was an uncommon name in Scotland at that time and particularly unknown in the Stewart family. This has led some researchers to suggest that perhaps he was the eldest surviving son of [[Stewart-296|Alexander Stewart]] and [[Macrory-1|Jean Macrory]].
He succeeded his father as High Steward in 1283. In 1286 he was named one of six Guardians of Scotland.
In 1296 he signed the Ragman Roll, through which he declared homage and fealty to Edward I.
