king of See also:Scotland, was the eldest son of King Robert II. by his See also:mistress, See also:Elizabeth See also:Mure, and was legitimatized when his parents were married about 1349. In 1368 he was created See also:earl of Carrick, and he took some See also:part in the See also:government of the See also:kingdom until about 1387, when he was disabled by the kick of a See also:horse. It was probably in consequence of this See also:accident that his See also:brother Robert, earl of See also:Fife, and not the See also:crown See also:prince himself, was made See also:guardian of the kingdom in 1389; but the latter succeeded to the See also:throne on his See also:father's See also:death in May 1390.

In 1399, however, owing to the king's " sickness of the See also:body," his See also:elder son, See also:David, See also:duke of See also:Rothesay, was appointed See also:lieutenant of the kingdom; but this event was followed by an See also:English invasion of Scotland, by serious See also:differences between Rothesay and his See also:uncle, Robert, now duke of See also:Albany, and finally in See also:March 1402 by Rothesay's mysterious death at See also:Falkland.
