Simon FitzAlan , Sir 
Simon was born about 1165 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Simon's father was Alan FitzWalter , 2nd High Steward of Scotland and his mother was Margaret de Galloway. His paternal grandparents were Walter FitzAlan , 1st High Steward of Scotland and Eschyne de Molle; his maternal grandparents were Fergus Lord of Galloway and Elizabeth of England. He had a brother named Walter. He was the younger of the two children. He had a half-sister named Avelina Fitzwalter.General Notes
Family History (from Burke's Peerage):
A descent for the Boyd's has been claimed from Simon, Brother of Walter High Steward of Scotland 1160 and ancestor in the male line of the Stuart or Stewart dynasty that ruled first Scotland and then England and Ireland as well. A Sir Robert Boyd was certainly living 1205, and one Robert "the" or "le" Boyd, allegedly grandson of Simon, fought for Alexander III against invading Norsemen at the indecisive Battle of Largs 1263. Another Robert Boyd was one of the first to join William Wallace's rising against the dominant English in the last years of the 13th century, but no link between these and the Boyd's below is proven.
