== Biography == Marjorie was riding in Gallowhill, Paisley, Renfrewshire while heavily pregnant. Her horse was suddenly startled and threw her to the ground at a place called "The Knock." She went into premature labour and her child, Robert, was delivered by Caesarean section at Paisley Abbey. Marjorie died within a few hours. She was nineteen at the time of her death, like her mother, who was also nineteen years old when she died in childbirth.
She died on 2 March 1316 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, in childbirth.
Robert Stewart, son of [[Stewart-1002|Walter Stewart]], 6th High Steward of Scotland and [[Bruce-124|Margorie Bruce]] , Princess of Scotland, was born on March 2, 1316 at Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. He died at age 74 on April 19, 1390 at Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland and is buried at Scone Abbey, Perthshire.Cawley
Robert was created 7th High Steward of Scotland on 9 April 1327. In 1338 he was charged wit the title, ''Guardian of Scotland'' until the return of his uncle, [[Bruce-510|David II]].The Scots peerage
In the late winter of 1371, dates vary between February 22 and March 26, he was crowned '''Robert II, King of Scotland''', at Scone Abbey succeeding his uncle, [[Bruce-510|David II]].Cawley
Robert II (2 March 1316 – 19 April 1390) reigned as King of Scots from 1371 to his death as the first monarch of the House of Stewart. He was the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland and of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert the Bruce and of his first wife Isabella of Mar.
He married, firstly, [[Mure-3|Elizabeth Mure]], daughter of [[Mure-5|Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan]], Robert married Elizabeth Mure around 1346 legitimising his four sons and five daughters.Cawley Papal dispensation was only given on November 22, 1347 legitimizing their previously born children. Elizabeth died before May 1355 and is buried at Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Robert, Earl of Atholl (1342) and Elizabeth had ten children (see below).
Robert Stewart married, secondly, [[Ross-649|Eupheme de Ross]], Countess of Moray, daughter of [[Ross-555|Hugh de Ross]], 4th Earl of Ross and [[Graham-631|Margaret Graham]], (Papal dispensation dated May 2, 1355). Euphemie was a widow of John Randolph, Earl of Moray.Cawley; His subsequent marriage to Euphemia de Ross in 1355 produced two sons and two surviving daughters and provided the basis of a future dispute regarding the line of succession. Robert II died in Dundonald Castle in 1390 and was buried at Scone Abbey.The Scots peerage Robert and Eupheme had four children (see below).
Robert was created Earl of Strathearn in 1357 or 58. On May 31, 1367 he resigned his title as Earl of Atholl. Again he resigned the title, Earl of Strathearn on April 18, 1369 but it was restored in April 1370.

===Family and Early Years===Robert Stewart, son of [[Stewart-1002|Walter Stewart]], 6th High Steward of Scotland and [[Bruce-124|Margorie Bruce]] , Princess of Scotland, was born on 2 March 1316 at Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
===Major Accomplishments During His Reign===
===Marriage to Elizabeth Mure===When they were both no more than twenty years of age, Robert persuaded [[Mure-3|Elizabeth Mure]] to elope with him to his family home in Dundonald, which was about six miles from her home at Rowallan.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), p. 18 There were two impediments to their marriage which may have seemed like serious obstacles to the young couple: (1) they were related in the fourth degree of consanguinity and therefore marriage would require a papal dispensation; and (2) when Elizabeth was eleven years old her parents had contracted her in marriage to nine-year-old Hugh de Giffard, the son of Sir John de Giffard of Yester, Midlothian.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), pp. 19-20 This contract would have to be nullified by both contracting parties and/or their parents. Among the records of John Learmonth, chaplain to the archbishop of St Andrews, is a notation stating that "Robert, great steward of Scotland, having taken away the said Elizabeth, drew to Sir Adam her father ane instrument that he should take her to be his lawful wife, which myself have seen....as also ane instrument in Latin by Roger M'Adam, priest of our Lady Marie's Chapel, that the said Roger married Robert and Elizabeth foresaids."
In 1344 they were finally able to get Elizabeth's childhood marriage contract dissolved, it was annulled on the joint petition of Huge Giffard and Elizabeth on the grounds that the marriage had never been consummated. In 1347, Robert Stewart applied for a papal dispensation so there could be no question regarding the legality of their marriage, not necessarily to satisfy his father-in-law, but to ensure his own children's succession to the throne if David II died childless. A special provision in the dispensation legitimized the "multitude prolis utriusque sexus" who had previously been born.Burnett, George (ed). ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: General Register House (1880), vol. 4, appendix to preface, [https://archive.org/details/rotuliscaccariir04grea/page/n157/mode/1up p. cliv]. Not content, however, to leave anything to chance, on 27 March 1371 (the day after he was crowned at Scone) King Robert II had his eldest son John, earl of Carrick, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.Dunbar, Sir Archibald H.

::'''Disputed (natural) daughter, Mary Stewart:'''
*Douglas Richard lists an additional natural daughter of Robert II, Mary Stewart, who married John de Danielston, Knt. of Finlaystown, Danielston, and Kilmoloog, Renfrewshire, before 2 January 1376/7 and had three sons by him: Robert, William, and Walter.Douglas Richardson.

== Biography == Marjorie was riding in Gallowhill, Paisley, Renfrewshire while heavily pregnant. Her horse was suddenly startled and threw her to the ground at a place called "The Knock." She went into premature labour and her child, Robert, was delivered by Caesarean section at Paisley Abbey. Marjorie died within a few hours. She was nineteen at the time of her death, like her mother, who was also nineteen years old when she died in childbirth.
She died on 2 March 1316 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, in childbirth.
Robert Stewart, son of [[Stewart-1002|Walter Stewart]], 6th High Steward of Scotland and [[Bruce-124|Margorie Bruce]] , Princess of Scotland, was born on March 2, 1316 at Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. He died at age 74 on April 19, 1390 at Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland and is buried at Scone Abbey, Perthshire.Cawley
Robert was created 7th High Steward of Scotland on 9 April 1327. In 1338 he was charged wit the title, ''Guardian of Scotland'' until the return of his uncle, [[Bruce-510|David II]].The Scots peerage
In the late winter of 1371, dates vary between February 22 and March 26, he was crowned '''Robert II, King of Scotland''', at Scone Abbey succeeding his uncle, [[Bruce-510|David II]].Cawley
Robert II (2 March 1316 – 19 April 1390) reigned as King of Scots from 1371 to his death as the first monarch of the House of Stewart. He was the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland and of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert the Bruce and of his first wife Isabella of Mar.
He married, firstly, [[Mure-3|Elizabeth Mure]], daughter of [[Mure-5|Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan]], Robert married Elizabeth Mure around 1346 legitimising his four sons and five daughters.Cawley Papal dispensation was only given on November 22, 1347 legitimizing their previously born children. Elizabeth died before May 1355 and is buried at Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Robert, Earl of Atholl (1342) and Elizabeth had ten children (see below).
Robert Stewart married, secondly, [[Ross-649|Eupheme de Ross]], Countess of Moray, daughter of [[Ross-555|Hugh de Ross]], 4th Earl of Ross and [[Graham-631|Margaret Graham]], (Papal dispensation dated May 2, 1355). Euphemie was a widow of John Randolph, Earl of Moray.Cawley; His subsequent marriage to Euphemia de Ross in 1355 produced two sons and two surviving daughters and provided the basis of a future dispute regarding the line of succession. Robert II died in Dundonald Castle in 1390 and was buried at Scone Abbey.The Scots peerage Robert and Eupheme had four children (see below).
Robert was created Earl of Strathearn in 1357 or 58. On May 31, 1367 he resigned his title as Earl of Atholl. Again he resigned the title, Earl of Strathearn on April 18, 1369 but it was restored in April 1370.
Aside from his two wives, Robert had at least eight other children from various mistresses, (see below).

===Family and Early Years===Robert Stewart, son of [[Stewart-1002|Walter Stewart]], 6th High Steward of Scotland and [[Bruce-124|Margorie Bruce]] , Princess of Scotland, was born on 2 March 1316 at Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
===Major Accomplishments During His Reign===
===Marriage to Elizabeth Mure===When they were both no more than twenty years of age, Robert persuaded [[Mure-3|Elizabeth Mure]] to elope with him to his family home in Dundonald, which was about six miles from her home at Rowallan.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), p. 18 There were two impediments to their marriage which may have seemed like serious obstacles to the young couple: (1) they were related in the fourth degree of consanguinity and therefore marriage would require a papal dispensation; and (2) when Elizabeth was eleven years old her parents had contracted her in marriage to nine-year-old Hugh de Giffard, the son of Sir John de Giffard of Yester, Midlothian.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), pp. 19-20 This contract would have to be nullified by both contracting parties and/or their parents. Among the records of John Learmonth, chaplain to the archbishop of St Andrews, is a notation stating that "Robert, great steward of Scotland, having taken away the said Elizabeth, drew to Sir Adam her father ane instrument that he should take her to be his lawful wife, which myself have seen....as also ane instrument in Latin by Roger M'Adam, priest of our Lady Marie's Chapel, that the said Roger married Robert and Elizabeth foresaids."
In 1344 they were finally able to get Elizabeth's childhood marriage contract dissolved, it was annulled on the joint petition of Huge Giffard and Elizabeth on the grounds that the marriage had never been consummated. In 1347, Robert Stewart applied for a papal dispensation so there could be no question regarding the legality of their marriage, not necessarily to satisfy his father-in-law, but to ensure his own children's succession to the throne if David II died childless. A special provision in the dispensation legitimized the "multitude prolis utriusque sexus" who had previously been born.Burnett, George (ed). ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: General Register House (1880), vol. 4, appendix to preface, [https://archive.org/details/rotuliscaccariir04grea/page/n157/mode/1up p. cliv]. Not content, however, to leave anything to chance, on 27 March 1371 (the day after he was crowned at Scone) King Robert II had his eldest son John, earl of Carrick, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.Dunbar, Sir Archibald H.

::'''Disputed (natural) daughter, Mary Stewart:'''
*Douglas Richard lists an additional natural daughter of Robert II, Mary Stewart, who married John de Danielston, Knt. of Finlaystown, Danielston, and Kilmoloog, Renfrewshire, before 2 January 1376/7 and had three sons by him: Robert, William, and Walter.Douglas Richardson.

He does not provide any sources to validate her existence, and in a discussion held on [https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/MTVIEnAyXkk/m/p49TtGcoYDsJ soc.genealogy.medieval] it appears that Richardson's basis for assuming her existence is pure conjecture.
