the poll has narrowed to 45 to 55 for Scotland independence, prospective
end to 400-year joint monarchy.
From M&B02 current revision Charles Gilman clarifies how Stuart as in House of Stuart derives from Steward "...STEWARD, this piece moves one step along any orthogonal except when capturing, which it does one step along any standard diagonal - a Pawn expanded to sideways and backward as well as forward. One of the most famous stewards in history was Walter the Steward, who married a daughter of Robert the First of Scotland and whose son by her ultimately became Robert the Second, first king of the House of Stuart. The surname Stuart derives from steward. In the current British monarchy, the title of High Steward of Scotland is a courtesy title of the heir to the throne."
