Robert II of Scotland

Robert II (1316–1390), born Robert Stewart, was the son of Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland, and Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert the Bruce. As High Steward he guarded Scotland during David II's exile in France and again after David's capture at Neville's Cross in 1346.

When David died childless in 1371, Robert became the first Stewart king, crowned at Scone. From 1384 power passed to his sons, first John, later Robert III. He died at Dundonald Castle in 1390.
