Robert Stewart, 3rd, but 2nd surviving son of Robert, High Steward ofScotland, afterwards (1370-90) Robert II, by his 1st wife, Elizabeth,daughter of Sir Adam Mure, of Rowallan, was b. about 1340, and while ayoung man (1361), became, in right of his wife, Earl of Menteith. Byagreement, 30 Mar 1371, with Isabel, suo jure Countess of Fife, hebecame, on her resignation, Earl of Fife, by which later title he wasgenerally known. Great Chamberlain 1383-1407. He mad two successfulraids into England, one in 1385, and another in 1388. On 1 Dec 1388 theKing (his father), being aged, and his eldest brother (afterwards RobertII) infirm, he was made, by Parliament, Guardian of the Realm, and, assuch, agreed to a treaty with the English in 1389; but on 27 Jan 1398/9,he was superseded, by the appointment of David, the heir apparent of thethrone, as "King's Lieutenant" with as ample powers as his (David's)uncle (the said Duke) had as "Guardian of the Realm". On the death, sp.legit, of his brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, he appears tohave been considered to have succeeded to that Earldom, (recognized tothe said Alexander, 25 July 1382) which he resigned 20 Sep 1406. In Mar1398 he, with his said nephew David, had an interview at Haudenstank withJohn, Duke of Lancaster, and other English Commissioners, and shortlyafterwards, he and his said nephew were each advanced to a Dukedom (thefirst Dukes ever made in Scotland), he being, on 28 Apr 1398, createdDuke of Albany, in a solemn Council held at Scone. For his complicity inthe arrest of his said nephew, David, then Duke of Rothesay (who d. aprisoner in Albany's Castle of Falkland, 27 Mar 1402), he received aremission from Parliament. After his nephew's death, the Duke assumedthe then vacant office of "King's Lieutenant"; and by Charter, 2 Sep1403, was created Earl of Atholl, during the life of the reigning King,with remainder (should he die before the said King) to his 2nd son John.By the death of the said King, 4 Apr 1406, this Earldom consequentlybecame extinct. At the council held June 1406, after the death of hisbrother Robert III, he was made Regent, the King (his nephew James I),being then a prisoner in England, which Kingdom accordingly he againinvaded in 1417, but on this occasion without success.

He m., 1stly (dispensation 9 Sep 1361), Margaret, suo jure Countess ofMenteith (who had previously been the wife of Sir John Moray of Bothwell(dsp. 1352), of Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Mar, and of Sir John Drummondof Concraig), daughter (only surviving child & heir) of John Graham, jureuxoris Earl of Menteith, by Mary, suo jure Countess of Menteith. She d.about 1380, between 21 Jul 1372 and 4 May 1380. He m. 2ndly (Papaldispensation 4 May 1380), Muriel, 1st daughter of Sir William Keith,Marischal of Scotland, by Margaret, daughter and heir of John Fraser ofZouch (sic. Touch?) Fraser, son and heir of Sir Alexander Fraser, HighChamberlain. He d. 3 Sep 1420, at Stirling Castle, aged above 80, andwas buried in Donfermline Abbey. His widow d. shortly before Whitsunday(1 June) 1449. [Complete Peerage I:77-79, XIV:15]

Note: Albany is that part of Scotland which lies north of the Firths ofClyde & Forth, including all of the highlands, which was the ancientkingdom of Albans. Also note that James I was a prisoner because hisfather (Robert III) felt the need to send him to France in order toprotect him from the Duke of Albany (otherwise he would have suffered thesame fate as his brother David). But the ship he was on, bound forFrance, was captured by the English, and James was taken prisoner for avery long time. The Duke of Albany was sometimes blamed for notransoming James earlier, but apparently the fault lay with the English,who had no desire to free him.
