on April 4 1406 Robert died, probably at Rothesay, and was buried at Paisley. He married Annabella Drummond (c. 1350-1402), daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall, and, in addition to the two sons already mentioned, had four daughters.

Would someone please clarify this passage by indicating who (Robert or his son James) was Annabella's husband? - Montréalais

Robert III married Annabella Drummond, daughter of Sir John Drummond by Mary, daughter of Sir William Montifex. James I, their son, married Joan, daughter of John Beaufort by Margaret Holland. I'll change the pronoun to Robert accordingly. -- Someone else 22:20 Nov 16, 2002 (UTC)

Burke's Peerage has year of birth 1368. Official Web Site of the British Monarchy says he was age 53 at his accession to the throne in 1390.

Burke's is obviously wrong - Robert III's nephew, the 2nd Duke of Albany, son of Robert III's younger brother, was born in 1362. Robert III's own eldest son was born in 1378. And he certainly wasn't twenty-two at the time of his accession. john k 18:28, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David duke of Rothesay.

If David died of starvation his death can hardly be described as 'mysterious.' In fact, there is no contemporary evidence on the circumstances of his death, which,of course, does justify the mysterious label. The starvation theory is plausible enough, but it is a later invention. Rcpaterson 19:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
