In 1318 the Scottish See also:parliament decreed that if King Robert died without sons the See also:crown should pass to his See also:grandson; but the See also:birth of a son, afterwards King See also:David II., to Bruce in 1324 postponed the See also:accession of Robert for nearly See also:forty-two years. Soon after the See also:infant David became king in 1329, the Steward began to take a prominent See also:part in the affairs of Scotland.

Having handed over the duties of See also:government to David, the Steward escaped from the battle of See also:Neville's See also:Cross in 1346, and was again chosen regent while the king was a See also:captive in See also:England. Soon after this event some See also:friction arose between Robert and his royal See also:uncle. Accused, probably without truth, of See also:desertion at Neville's Cross, the Steward as See also:heir-apparent was greatly chagrined by the king's proposal to make Edward III. of England, or one of his sons, the heir to the Scottish See also:throne, and by David's See also:marriage with See also:Margaret Logie.

In 1378 a See also:war See also:broke out with England; but the king took no part in the fighting, which included the burning of See also:Edinburgh and the Scottish victory at Otterbourne in 1388. As See also:age and infirmity were telling upon him, the estates in 1389 appointed his second surviving son Robert, earl of See also:Fife, afterwards See also:duke of See also:Albany, See also:guardian of the kingdom. The king died at See also:Dundonald on the 13th of May 1390, and was buried at Scone.
