Alan Fitz Walter was the 2nd High Steward of Scotland serving from 1178 - 1204:
"The title of High Steward or Great Steward was given in the 12th century first to Walter Fitzalan, Alan Fitz Walter's father, whose descendants became the House of Stewart. In 1371, the last High Steward inherited the throne, and thereafter the title of High Steward of Scotland has been held as a subsidiary title to that of Duke of Rothesay, held by the heir-apparent. Thus, currently, The Prince of Wales is High Steward of Scotland, sometimes known as the Prince and Great Steward of Scotland." ~ Wikipedia ~
