Stewartiana

Stewartiana is a historical book written by John Riddell in 1843. The book discusses the case of Robert II and Elizabeth Mure, and the question of the legitimacy of their issue. Robert II was the King of Scotland from 1371 to 1390, and Elizabeth Mure was his mistress. They had several children together, but their legitimacy was questioned due to their parents' unmarried status. Riddell delves into the legal and historical aspects of this case, examining the evidence and arguments for and against the legitimacy of Robert II and Elizabeth Mure's children. The book provides a fascinating insight into the legal and social norms of medieval Scotland and the challenges faced by illegitimate children in gaining legitimacy and recognition. Overall, Stewartiana is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history, medieval law, or the complexities of royal lineage.With Incidental Reply To Cosmo Innes, New Evidence Conclusive Upon The Origin Of The Stewarts, And Other Stewart Notices, Etc.
