        Marriages and issue
        His first wife was Elizabeth Mure, by her he had at least ten children:

        King Robert III of Scotland (d. 1406), originally called John
        Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany (1339–1420)
        Alexander Stewart, 1st Earl of Buchan, and Lord of Badenoch, "the Wolf of Badenoch" (1343–1405)
        Margaret Stewart, married John of Islay, Lord of the Isles
        Walter Stewart (d. 1362), married Isabella, Countess of Fife
        Marjory Stewart, married first John Dunbar, 5th Earl of Moray, second Alexander Keith
        Johanna Stewart, married in 1373 Sir John Keith, in 1379 Sir John Lyon, in 1384 Sir James Sandilands
        Isabella Stewart, married first James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas, married second David Edmondstone
        Katherine Stewart, married Sir Robert Logan of Grugar, later also of Restalrig, Lord High Admiral of Scotland
        Elizabeth Stewart, married Sir Thomas Hay, Lord High Constable of Scotland
        By his second wife, Euphemia de Ross, daughter of Aodh, Earl of Ross, and widow of the 3rd Earl of Moray, formerly his colleague as regent, he had five children:

        David Stewart, 1st Earl of Caithness (d. bef. 1389)

        The confusion about the circumstances of his first marriage would later lead to conflict amongst the descendants of his first marriage (which included James I of Scotland) and the unquestionably legitimate descendants of his second marriage.
