...in favour of his younger brother Robert, earl of Fife , later duke of Albany, in 1388 . The ambitions of Albany and the earls of Douglas dominated the unhappy reign of Robert III ( 1390–1406 ) and almost brought the senior line of the Stewart dynasty to an end. Hamstrung by ill health, Robert III was unable to assert his control over royal government and for most of the reign the exercise of justice and warfare lay in the hands of lieutenants and guardians, most notably Albany. The weakness of royal line was cruelly exposed in the fate of Robert III's...

...James Hamilton , first earl of Arran; and the young king's great‐uncle and governor of Scotland between 1515 and 1524 , John Stewart , duke of Albany . Albany gave some direction to government, negotiating the Treaty of Rouen ( 1517 ) with France and seeking French financial and military assistance in the face of English threats. However, his final withdrawal from Scotland to France left the young James V effectively a pawn in the hands of the dominant Scottish political players; the most aggressive of these were the Angus Douglases ( see Douglas...

...competing factions at the royal court . On the face of it, this factionalism mirrored the conflicting links of Scotland with France and England after Flodden. The regent, Albany (son of James III 's brother, Alexander , and potential heir to the throne), had been raised in France; the queen dowager, Margaret Tudor, was English. Yet events and motives were more complicated than this might imply. The return of Stewart émigrés from France—from Albany in 1515 to Esmé Stuart in 1579 —tended to have an unsettling effect on court politics, where newly...

The Oxford Companion to Scottish History
...The second wives of Alexander II and Alexander III were French. Margaret Stewart (daughter of James I ) married a dauphin, but then died young which also happened to Francois I 's favourite daughter, Madeleine of Valois, wife to James V. James, of course, then immediately again married into France by his celebrated union with Mary of Guise, mother to Mary, Queen of Scots. Thus came to pass the apogee of the Auld Alliance: Mary's betrothal ( 1548 ) and subsequent marriage ( 1558 ) to the Dauphin François, who then became king of Scotland before they...

...the Douty Duke of Albany, Lyke a Cowarde Knyght, Ran Awaye Shamfully,” a lampoon of the abortive invasion of England led by John Stewart , duke of Albany, in November 1523 , was written at Wolsey's behest, seemingly in the expectation of a reward in the form of an ecclesiastical living. For in a typically direct envoi , Skelton instructs the text to prostrate itself “in moost humble wyse” before “his noble grace”: That caused you to devise This lytel enterprise, And hym moost lowly pray, In his mynde to comprise, Those wordes his grace dyd saye Of an ammas...
