The
Boyd family ancestry and history
of Scotland.
"Robert Boyd was said to be the
first of the Boyds. He took on
the surname of Boyd which became
a surname to all of his
descendants. Robert's
Grandfather was said to be Alan
Fitz Flaald, (Stewart of Dol,
Brittany) who went to the Holy
Land with Godfrey de Rouillon in
the first crusade of the year
1097. He died in the year 1153
leaving three sons: Walter - who
succeeded him Adam - who is
designed Filius Alani in the
Charters of COLDINGHAM, MELROSE
AND COLDSTREAM. Simon - who is
in Charters designed Brother to
Walter Dapifer, Simon was the
father of Robert, designed in
the Register of PAISLEY; NEPOS
Alani DAPIFERI, Robert's uncle
was Walter Stewart, the youngest
son of Alan Fitzflaald, went to
Scotland where he received land
in Renfrew, including Paisley,
and the hereditary dignity of
High Steward or Seneschal of
Scotland, from David I of
Scotland. Robert's cousin was
Alan ( son of Walter), who as a
Commander under Richard the
Lionheart on the Third Crusade
in 1191. He was a patron of the
Knights Templar, adding
considerably to their strength
and possessions in Scotland both
before and after his return from
the Crusade. This is their
direct ancestry traces back to
the Royal House of Stewart
through Alan Fitzflaad, father
of Walter who became the High
Steward of Scotland and was said
to be uncle to the first Boyd".
