Biographical Summary by Francis Grant
Sir William Stewart: "The difficult question of his affiliation is also dealt with in the article 'Galloway'. He was certainly a nephew of Sir John Turnbull of Minto, and if it can be shown that he was a brother of John, first Lord of Aubigny, this of course would help to prove who the latter's mother was. He was ancestor of the family of Stewart of Garlies, now Earls of Galloway, and his affiliation becomes of importance on account of the claim of his descendants to the headship of the Stewarts on the extinction of the male line of the Earls of Lennox by the death of Henry, Cardinal York, 13 July 1807. It is not certainly known who his wife was, but her Christian name was apparently Isabel. This appears from a Commission, on 13 November 1400, by King Henry IV., to inquire into the report that William, Stewart of Scotland, Knight, and Isabel, his wife, sometime the wife of Richard Olyver, 'chivaler,' and Robert, Richard's son, have for no small time been adherents of the Scots, whereby all their lands and goods are forfeited, etc. This writ may explain the cause which brought about Sir William's tragic fate after Homildon Hill.

Battle of Homildon Hill
The Battle of Holmedon Hill or Battle of Homildon Hill was a conflict between English and Scottish armies on 14 September 1402 in Northumberland, England. The battle was recounted in Shakespeare's Henry IV, part 1. Although Humbleton Hill is the modern name of the site, over the centuries it has been variously named Homildon, Hameldun, Holmedon, and Homilheugh.
