Robert Stewart (1st Duke of Albany)
c.1340 - 1419
Regent of Scotland. Son of King Robert II (1316-90), and brother of King
Robert III (c.1340-1406) and Al exander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch
(1343-1405). As Prime Minister, he held significant power even while his
older brother was on the throne, and was cr eated Duke of Albany in 1398.
To maintain his power, Stewart murdered his nep hew, the Duke of Rothesay,
who was heir to the throne and was appointed Regen t on his brother's
death (1406). Conveniently, the young King James I (1394-1 437) was
captured by the English in the same year, and unsurprisingly Stewart made
no attempt to secure James' release. Stewart ruled until his own death
through a combination of cunning, negotiation and ruthlessness.
He died at S tirling Castle and is buried at Dunfermline Abbey.
