== Biography ==Andrew Stewart was the second son of [[Stewart-1526|Robert Stewart]], Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland, the illegitimate son to King Robert II, and his second wife [[Keith-258|Muriella Keith]], daughter of Sir William Keith, Marischal of Scotland.[[#S-1]] Balfour Paul; Vol 2, page 264; [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun02paul#page/264/mode/2up John Stewart, Earl of Buchan]
In 1406, his father, the Duke of Albany, was appointed Regent of Scotland, during the imprisonment of the King James I, and the most powerful man in the land. On 20 September 1406 the Duke of Albany, styling himself Earl of Buchan, gave the Earldom to John Stewart, his older brother; "totum . . . comitatum nostrum de Buchane" erecting the lands pertaining to it into a free barony, with remainder to his brothers Andrew and Robert. Andrew appears in this Charter.
In 1415, on the resignation of Euphemia Leslie, Countess of Ross, who was then a Crown ward (in ward to the Regent), the barony of Kingedward , and thus the Earldom of Ross, was granted to his brother John. Andrew does not appear in this Charter although his younger brother, Robert, does.
It seems probable that Andrew followed the same path as his brother John and sought fame and fortune amongst the battlefields of Europe. Nothing is heard of him in the records of Scotland and it can be supposed he died on a foreign field.
