Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany (1362 24 May 1425) was Governor of Scotland (1420 - 1424). In 1389 he was Justiciar North of the Forth. He was the grandson of King Robert II of Scotland, who founded the Stewart dynasty. His father, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany was a prominent Scottish nobleman who was Regent of Scotland at various stages during the reigns of three kings, (Robert II, Robert III, and James I). Murdoch inherited the Dukedom of Albany in 1420. He also inherited the Earldom of Fife and the Earldom of Menteith. He served in military actions against the English in the early 15th century and was captured in 1402, but was traded for Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland. Upon the return of James I to Scotland he lost his position as Regent, and during the parliament of March 1424 Murdoch, with Lord Alexander Stewart, his younger son, were suddenly arrested and immediately afterwards 26 of the principal nobles and barons shared the same fate. Albany was first confined in the castle at St. Andrews and afterwards transferred to Caerlaverock Castle.
