| | Steward origins (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | As discussed earlier Robert was obsessed with the idea that the Steward family descended from the Scottish royal family of Stewart and he incorporated a copy of the family history with the continuation of the Historia Eliensis, the history of the see, abbey, and priory of Ely, which he undertook as prior and dean. |
 | | Steward, who obligingly amended his religious opinions on the accession of Queen Mary, ensured that his family did well out of the Dissolution: they had a grant of former monastic lands and Robert's elder brother became hereditary steward of the cathedral's remaining properties. |
 | | Steward, Sir Simeon (1579/80?-1629?), poet, was the surviving son of Mark Steward (c.1525—1604) of Stuntney, Cambridgeshire, and his wife, Anne, daughter of the royal physician Robert Huicke. |
