"Sir Alan Stewart, second son of Sir John Stewart of Bonkyll, accompanied Edward Bruce to Ireland in 1315, and next year was taken prisoner by the English, but was soon released, and continued to fight against them. He received from King Robert I the lands of Dreghorn, in Ayrshire, and fell with his two brothers, James and John Stewart, at the battle of Halidonhill in 1333." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below]

Notes:

Also called Adam Mure. Described by the ODNB as "an Ayrshire landowner."

According to The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below), he "likely" fought at Bannockburn and "probably" died 19 Jul 1333 at the battle of Halidon Hill.

"He is invariably referred to as Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, but this style is doubly erroneous since (1) Sir Adam never takes a territorial designation in any known document and (2) Rowallan was acquired after his death by the marriage (after 1341) of his son and heir Adam to 'Isabella,' the heiress (presumably daughter) of Sir Walter Comyn of Rowallan, slain at Annan, 17 Dec. 1332." [The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below)]

Adam married Joanna Cunningham between 1315 and 1316. Joanna was born about 1295; died after Jul 1333. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"[A]mong the 'knights and barons of the realm of Scotland' who swore fealty to King Edward I in 1291, named 1296 in a charter as Sir John Steward, knight, brother of Sir James, formerly Steward of Scotland, after joining the Scottish resistance, he was slain during the destruction of Sir William Wallace's force by the army of the English king. […] He is often called 'of Bonkyl' in secondary sources. However, this is incorrect, as he died before his father-in-law, Sir Alexander Bonkyl, and therefore did not possess that barony." [The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below)]

Notes:

Also called Alexander of Dundonald. 4th High Steward of Scotland. "4th High Steward of Scotland, 1246-1283 and Baron of Garlies from 30 Nov 1263. [...] Councillor in 1255 to the underage King of Scotland, Alexander III, and one of the regents of Scotland. Upon his marriage he seized the Isles of Bute and Arran and as a result fought and defeated the Norwegians at the battle of Largs, in Cunningham, 2 Oct 1263, ceding the Isles to Scotland. In 1264 he invaded the Isle of Man which was then annexed to the Crown." [The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz, citation details below.]

"He seems to have commanded the armed force which, at Largs, in October 1263, successfully defended Scotland against attempted invasion by Hákon IV, king of Norway. It seems to have been in Alexander's time that the Stewarts acquired the lordship of Cowal, with a castle at Dunoon. Moreover, the style senescallus Scotie, 'stewart of Scotland', now replaced the older dapifer regis Scotie, 'steward of the king of Scotland', thus indicating a major office of state, significant in a national context."
