        Robert Stewart, 3rd, but 2nd surviving son of Robert, High Steward of Scotland, afterwards (1370-90) Robert II, by his 1st wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Mure, of Rowallan, was b. about 1340, and while a young man (1361), became, in
        right of his wife, Earl of Menteith. By agreement, 30 Mar 1371, with Isabel, suo jure Countess of Fife, he became, on her resignation, Earl of Fife, by which later title he was generally known. Great Chamberlain 1383-1407. He mad two successful
        raids into England, one in 1385, and another in 1388. On 1 Dec 1388 the King (his father), being aged, and his eldest brother (afterwards Robert II) infirm, he was made, by Parliament, Guardian of the Realm, and, as such, 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        with the English in 1389; but on 27 Jan 1398/9, he was superseded, by the appointment of David, the heir apparent of the throne, as "King's Lieutenant" with as ample powers as his (David's) uncle (the said Duke) had as "Guardian of the Realm".

        # Note:

        On the death, sp. legit, of his brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, he appears to have been considered to have succeeded to that Earldom, (recognized to the said Alexander, 25 July 1382) which he resigned 20 Sep 1406. In Mar 1398 he,
        with his said nephew David, had an interview at Haudenstank with John, Duke of Lancaster, and other English Commissioners, and shortly afterwards, he and his said nephew were each advanced to a Dukedom (the first Dukes ever made in Scotland),
        he being, on 28 Apr 1398, created Duke of Albany, in a solemn Council held at Scone. For his complicity in the arrest of his said nephew, David, then Duke of Rothesay (who d. a prisoner in Albany's Castle of Falkland, 27 Mar 1402), he received
        a remission from Parliament. After his nephew's death, the Duke assumed the then vacant office of "King's Lieutenant"; and by Charter, 2 Sep 1403, 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 consequently became extinct. At the council held June 1406, after the death of his brother Robert III, he was made Regent, the King (his nephew
        James I), being then a prisoner in England, which Kingdom accordingly he again invaded in 1417, but on this occasion without success. He m., 1stly (dispensation 9 Sep 1361), Margaret, suo jure Countess of Menteith (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 Drummond of Concraig), daughter (only surviving child & heir) of John Graham, jure uxoris 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 (Papal dispensation 4 May 1380), Muriel, 1st daughter of Sir William Keith, Marischal of Scotland, by Margaret, daughter and heir of John Fraser of Zouch (sic. Touch?)
        Fraser, son and heir of Sir Alexander Fraser, High Chamberlain. He d. 3 Sep 1420, at Stirling Castle, aged above 80, and was buried in

        # Note: 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 of Clyde & Forth, including all of the highlands, which was the ancient kingdom of Albans. Also note that James I was a prisoner because his father (Robert III) felt the need to
        send him to France in order to protect him from the Duke of Albany (otherwise he would have suffered the same fate as his brother David). But the ship he was on, bound for France, was captured by the English, and James was taken prisoner for a
        very long time. The Duke of Albany was sometimes blamed for not ransoming James earlier, but apparently the fault lay with the English, who had no desire to free him.

        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
