Thomas Stewart (bishop of St Andrews)

Thomas Stewart was an illegitimate son of King Robert II of Scotland.

In this period, Archdeacon Thomas obtained a Bachelor of Canon Law at the University of Paris.

On 1 July 1401, following the death of Walter Trail, Bishop of St. Andrews, Thomas was elected to fill the see's vacancy.

Thomas was supported by his nephew, David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, who actively campaigned in the region of St. Andrews during the year 1401.

In order to obtain control of Dumbarton Castle, the Duke of Albany offered its keeper, Walter de Danyelston, the semi-vacant see of St. Andrews.
