The second of the Stewart kings Robert was considered illegitimate by the church as a result of his parents close bloodlines. He was legitimized in 1347 by papal dispensation. His actual name was not John, but since the name John had taken on negative connotations for a king through the actions of 3 other king Johns he adopted his fathers name. He married Annabella Drummond and had 7 children by her. He was considered a feeble or weak king by most rendered infirm by a riding accident in 1388. His authority quickly dwindled as his advisor the Duke of Albany took control. His sons both suffered horrible fates as one was starved to death in a prison at Falkland Palace and the other was captured by pirates and given to Henry IV. He died supposedly of grief saying "I am the worst of kings and the most miserable of men."
