Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c. 1340 – 3 September 1420) was a member of the Scottish royal family who served as regent (at least partially) to three Scottish monarchs ( Robert II, Robert III, and James I ).
To secure his position in the Scottish court, James launched pre-emptive attacks on some of his nobles beginning in 1425 with his close kinsmen, the Albany Stewarts. This resulted in the execution of Duke Murdoch and his sons. In 1427 James called all the Highland clans to a parliament in Inverness. They came in great numbers.
Origins of the name "Stewart". The name "Stewart" was taken from the word "steward" - the protector and caretaker of an estate. In this case, the estate was the Kingdom of Scotland. The official in charge of the Scots household and treasury was given the title Steward, which became the name Stewart possibly as far back as the 12th century.
