Murdock Stuart 
Murdock was born about 1363 in Scotland. Murdock's father was Robert Stuart and his mother was Margaret Murdock Graham. His paternal grandparents were Robert II De Bruce Stuart and Elizabeth Mure; his maternal grandparents were Sir John Graham and Mary Stewart. He had a brother and five sisters, named John, Lady Margaret, Janet, Maria, Lady Isabella and Lady Marjory. He was the second oldest of the seven children. He died on May 25th, 1425 in Beheaded at Stirling Castle, Scotland by King James I. He was buried in Church of the Black Friars, Stirling, Scotland.General Notes
When Robert Stewart Duke of Albany died at the age of about eighty-one, his son Murdock Stewart succeeded him as Governor of Scotland. His attempt at governing foundered after four years of futile misrule. In 1424 King James I, his cousin, returned to Scotland after eighteen years of imprisonment in England. Since James I's kingship had been at risk while imprisoned in England, he did not intend for it to be threatened upon his return to Scotland. In 1425 he ordered Murdock & his two sons beheaded at Sterling.
