However in "The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland" it says:
"The error which is often apparent in published charts occurs because,within thr ranks of King David's European nobles, Walter was styled "FitzAllan" (Son of Alan). It has been supposed, therefore , that his fathermust have been Alan the Breton Seneschal, but that is wrong. In makingsuch a presumption the whole chronology is upset, and a generation iscompletely missed; Walter's father was Alan of Lochaber, who married intoBreton succession.
Through many decades, and especially since Victorian times, chartists andregistrars have been so preoccupied with drafting male lines that theimportance of wives and daughters was largely dismissed, Because of thismany family genealogies have been incorrectly published, and as far asthe Sewarts are concerned, the female so often ignored was Walter's ownmother, Adelina of Owestry, the daughter of Alan Fitz Flaad de Hesidin,Sheriff of Shropshire." (pages 39-40)

Alan de Hesdin's father, Flaad, was Hereditary Steward of Dol inBrittany. In the early 1100's he was Baron of St Florent, Saumur (in thedioceses of Angers) his early forebears were the Counts of Brittany, whowere kin to the Merovingian Kings of the Franks. It is with Flaad and hiswife that the genealogical problems normally begin. Flaad was married toAveline, the daughter of Arnulf, Seigneur de Hesdin of Flanders; but somepeerage registers (R) .show Aveline quite erroneously , as the wife ofFlaad's son Alan., The fact is, however, that Alan Fitz Flaaad was bornwith the "de Hesdin" distinction readily inherited from his mother,Aveline (Ava) of Picardy. Her status is confirmed in Cartulary of StGeorge, Hesdin.(R)

When Aveline's father Arnulf (brother of Count Enguerrand de Hesdin) ,joined the Crusade in 1090, Aveline became his nominated deputy inEngland. She was known as the 'Domina de Norton' (of Norton) , and herson Alan Fitz Flaad was Baron of Owestry during the reign of Henry !. Ascorrectly detailed in Chalmers' Caledonia (1807), Alan was married toAdeliza, daughter and heiress of Sheriff Warine of Shropshie, therbyinheriting that same office." (pages 39-40)
