Family and Early Years

Robert III, King of the Scots was born John Stewart, the son and heir of Robert II and Elizabeth Mure, sometime around 1337.[1][2][3] John was created earl of Carrick on 22 June 1368.[4][5] Because his parents had eloped and there were inevitable questions about the validity of their marriage, he was legitimated by papal dispensation and, on 27 March 1371, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.[6]

In 1384, Robert II's health began to fail and John, as his eldest son and heir, was appointed to supervise the enforcement of all laws within the kingdom.[7] Unfortunately, four years later (two years before he was to succeed his father) he was severely injured and permanently lamed when he was kicked by a horse belonging to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith.[7][8] Because John's injuries limited his physical ability to "enforce the laws," parliament appointed his younger brother Robert, earl of Fife, as Guardian of the Kingdom in his place, with complete responsibility for administering the government.[9][7]

John succeeded his father on 19 April 1390, and was crowned at Scone on 14 August of the same year, taking the regnal name of Robert III.[10][11][12] His wife, Annabella Drummond, was crowned Queen of Scots on the following day.[1][12] The new king was fifty years old and in frail health; and his younger brother, the earl of Fife, continued to function as the Guardian of the Kingdom, making the king's position little more than symbolic.[13] This arrangement unfortunately gave rise to an increase in the independence claimed by many of the nobles (who were granted an annuity for their "retinue and service," which ordinarily would have been considered part of their lawful obligation to the king) and resulted in more power-grabs and warring among the various clans.[13][14]

Major Events Affecting His Reign

Robert III has been variously described as "courteous," "dignified," and kind-hearted."[15] He wanted Scotland to be peaceful and prosperous, and for the most part his subjects recognized this and regarded him with affection.[15] However, he was completely ineffectual as a leader, having neither the energy nor the will power to control his nobles.[15][16] In 1393 he did make an attempt to seize control of the government back from his brother, but the results were disastrous.[8] Although external relations with England and France were relatively peaceful,[17] within Scotland itself lawlessness was rampant.[13][18] His own youngest brother, Alexander, whose ruthless pillaging in the northern regions earned him the nickname of 'the Wolf of Badenoch,' was excommunicated by the Bishop of Moray for seizing some of his lands. The Wolf of Badenoch retaliated by setting fire to the town of Elgin and burning the magnificent cathedral of Elgin to the ground.[13][18] Bribery and corruption were rife, there was a widening rift between the Lowlands and the Highlands, and clan warfare rose to new levels.[8]

Robert III became so depressed by this state of affairs that he instructed his wife to bury him in a dungheap with the epitaph "Here lies the worst of kings and the most miserable of men."[8] [16] At this point Queen Annabella took matters into her own hands by calling a special council in April 1398.[8] Robert III appears to have been present at this meeting, at which his eldest son, David (then only nineteen years of age), was created duke of Rothesay and his brother Robert, earl of Fife, was created duke of Albany (marking the first time the title of duke was ever used in Scotland).[19][20] Politics at court quickly became an ongoing battle beween the queen and her son on one side, and the ambitious duke of Albany ( who had earlier become accustomed to governing the kingdom himself) on the other side.[21]

In January, 1399, civil unrest became so uncontrolled that the Estates (encouraged by Albany) decided to depose the king.[22] They did not call for his abdication because he was well liked personally, but they did conclude that the misgovernance of the realm was due to the king and his ministers, and declared that "...sen it is welesene and kennit that our lorde the kynge for seknes of his persone may nat trauail to gouerne the Realme na restreygne trespassours and rebellours" the task of governing would be given to a Council General.[22] Albany, however, did not get the job. David, duke of Rothesay and heir to the throne (now twenty years of age) was made Governor.[22] Unfortunately for David, Albany was made one of his senior advisors.[8]

Rothesay was required to take the same oath as a king at coronation, and detailed provisions were enacted to prevent any interference by Robert III in government affairs.[22] The king made no attempt to recover his power, depressed and convinced that he was a complete failure he retired to the family estates at Rothesay and in Ayrshire.[22][16]

David was young, reckless, and not an astute politician. His dissolute lifestyle gained him some powerful enemies, not the least among them George, earl of March, whose daughter he was engaged to marry but whom he jilted in order to marry the daughter of Archibald the Grim, 3rd earl of Douglas, who had a larger dowry.[23][24] When the queen died in October 1401,[25] Albany contrived to have David arrested and thrown into the prison at Falkland Castle in Fife where he was left to starve to death.[8] David Stewart, duke of Rothesay, died 26 Mar 1402. His death has been variously ascribed to starvation, slow poison, or even dysentery caused by the primitive conditions of his confinement.[26][27] Because the circumstances of his death strongly suggested foul play, Albany arranged for a declaration of the Estates which pronounced David's death to be "the visitation of Providence."[26] It should be noted, however, that Jon Wright, one of the persons in whose care David was committed, later received a payment of £108 from Albany.[26]

Albany lost no time in grabbing the reins of power, and now only an old man in failing health and an eight year old boy stood between himself and the throne.[28]

Marriage and Children

John married Annabella Drummond, daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall and Mary Montifex, daughter of Sir William Montifex, sometime after 13 March 1365 (the date of the commission to grant a dispensation for their marriage) and before 31 May 1367 (when King David granted a charter to the earldom of Atholl in both their names).[1][29] There were seven children from this marriage:

Robert III also had at least 2 illegitimate sons by an unknown mistress (before his marriage to Annabella):

Death

It took Robert III almost four years to realize that his youngest and only surviving son might be in danger from Albany, who had been implicated in his eldest son's murder. Late in February 1406 he asked Sir David Fleming to help smuggle young James out of Scotland to France, to ensure his safety.[8] This mission turned out to be a disaster: Fleming was ambushed and killed and high tides delayed the ship which was to convey the boy to France. When Henry St Clair finally managed to hide James on a cargo ship instead, it was attacked by pirates who took the young prince to England where he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.[8][48] Robert III died 4 April 1406 at Dundonald, Ayrshire.[1][26] He is thought to have died of grief, shortly after having learned of his youngest son's imprisonment.[49][26]

He was buried in front of the high altar in the Abbey Church at Paisley, Renfrewshire.[1][49] In accordance with his wishes, the funeral was not an elaborate one.[50] It was not until many years later that a monument to his memory was erected by Queen Victoria.[16]

Research Notes

(Daughter) Mary Stewart:
  • Douglas Richardson believes that Mary had five husbands, and that husband number three was William de Cunningham, Knt of Kilmaurs.[43] He cites as evidence the papal dispensation granted for this marriage on 7 July 1409.[51] No other historian gives credence to this marriage. James Balfour Paul acknowledges the papal dispensation and states "....there is no clear evidence that the marriage with Sir William Cunningham took place, though it is not improbable."[52] Alison Weir also references the papal dispensation but adds "....it is doubtful whether the marriage ever took place."[40] Sir Archibald Dunbar makes no mention of a marriage to Cunningham, only listing four husbands for Mary.[53] More significantly, however, the Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum (The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland) does not list Cunningham as one of Mary's husbands.[44] The Exchequer Rolls are a meticulous accounting of all expenditures made by the royal treasury and provide documentation of all of Mary's other four marriages but do not contain any evidence that a marriage between Mary and Cunningham was ever formalized. Accordingly, he is not listed as one of Mary's husbands in this profile.
(Daughter) Egidia (or Giles) Stewart:
  • In The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland there are remissions in the accounts dated March 1405/6 and March 1406/7 of the custom of the wool of Galloway, Nithsdale, and Douglasdale to Egidia, daughter of Robert III.[45] This suggests that Egidia was the Countess of Douglas, who is called "Margaret" in several crown charters and has been identified as Robert III's eldest daughter. It is unknown whether Margaret and Egidia were the same person (although the distinguished scholar/historian, Thomas F. Henderson, does believe that this was the case),[54] or whether Egidia was actually a younger daughter of Robert III. There are, however, numerous payments made to an "Egidia, daughter of Robert III" by authority of the governor, usually said to be for her adornment ("pro apparatu suo") and some of these payments were received on her behalf by her uncle, the earl of Atholl.[45] Alison Weir describes Egidia as having died unmarried, although she gives no source for this statement.[46]

Re: research note on Mary Stewart's marriage/association with Cunningham. Wouldn't this be better placed if moved to her own profile, and put a cross-reference to it here?

Very well done I might add.

Death location: there is no "Rothsay Castle" in Dundonald. There is a Dundonald Castle in Dundonald and a Rothesay Castle on the Isle of Bute. Scots Peerage states he died in Dundonald, so changing the death location.

No, Margaret (Graham) Stewart was married to Robert, Duke of Albany and brother to King Robert III.The Duke was regent but not King. King Robert III married Annabelle Drummond and they had seven children and he fathered a couple of natural children besides. Therer are 16 children listed under him here - some are likely his brother's children with Margaret Graham. Perhaps someone could have a look.
