"Robert III: The King of Scots and his Remarkable Life" In the year 1337, a nobleman named John Stewart was born, destined to become one of Scotland's most intriguing monarchs. Known as Robert III, he ascended to the throne in turbulent times, facing challenges that would test his leadership and resilience. But behind every great king is a remarkable queen consort. Anabella Drummond stood by Robert III's side throughout their reign, providing support and strength during tumultuous times. Their union symbolized unity and stability for the Scottish kingdom. As depicted in portraits from Iconographia Scotica, Robert III possessed an air of regality befitting a king. His seal showcased his authority and power over the realm, leaving an indelible mark on Scottish history. Yet it wasn't just within Scotland that Robert III made his mark. He embarked on a journey to Palestine, as illustrated in the colorful lithograph "Duke Robert goes to Palestine. " This pilgrimage demonstrated his devotion to faith and desire for spiritual enlightenment. Scottish coins bearing his image alongside David II further solidified Robert III's legacy as a ruler who left no stone unturned when it came to asserting his authority. These coins serve as tangible reminders of Scotland's rich numismatic history. The departure scene captured in "Departure of Duke Robert for the Holy Land" evokes both admiration and curiosity about this adventurous king who sought solace beyond borders. It speaks volumes about his courage and determination amidst uncertain times. However, tales from centuries before also shed light on another notable figure named Robert - Duke of Normandy. From saving his father William the Conqueror's life at Gerberoy battle to capturing hearts with acts of heroism like wounding him during conflicts with King William I; these stories paint a picture of bravery intertwined with familial complexities. Even monuments stand testament to Robert Curthose’s enduring presence – such as Gloucester Cathedral's Robert Curthoses monument.
