--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

note: THE ROYAL STUARTS descend from a Breton prince whose name was Flaald, the problem is there were three contemporary persons of that name in the Breton royal/ducal house alive at the same-time, which presents the question: which one of the three was the ancestor of the royal Stuarts?; was he:

(a) Flaald [A] (above), the son of Banquo, has been the traditional ancestor of the Stuarts from the time Shakespeare who referred to him in "Macbeth"; however, perhaps Shakespeare purposely made the identification as Banquo’s son for political reasons.

(b) Flaald [B] (above), the son of Hamon, Vicomte de Dinan, is generally accepted today by academia as the true ancestor of the Stewarts/Stuarts

(c) Flaald [C] (above), the son Alan, represents an alternative pedigree
