<< From the family of Loarn sprang several of the earlier Dalriadic kings,
together with a vast multitude of great thanes and chieftains, among whom
prominently appear the hereditary Stewards of Scotland. The family of
Fergus, the younger brother, supplied by far the greater number of occupants
to the throne, including Robert Bruce, the hero of Bannockburn. Margery
Bruce, daughter of the latter, became the wife of Walter, the Steward of
Scotland, and thus husband and wife belonged to the same illustrious race >>

Do the Normans get some of the credit for Bruce and Stewart?
