Robert II, also known as The Steward, was the King of Scots from 1371 until his death in 1390. He was the first monarch of the House of Stewart and played a significant role in Scottish history. One notable event involving Robert II is his involvement in The Black Watch. Forward the 42nd. At the Alma in 1854. This battle showcased the bravery and skill of this renowned regiment, which has its roots traced back to Robert II's reign. In terms of lineage, Robert II's seal depicts him as an illustrious figure with a rich heritage. His ancestors include Duke Robert Curthose of Normandy and William Rufus, King of England. These connections highlight his noble bloodline and royal ties. Another aspect worth mentioning is Robert II's excommunication by Pope Gregory V for marrying Bertha of Burgundy, his cousin. This controversial union caused quite a stir during that time period but did not deter him from carrying out acts such as distributing alms or sparing conspirators condemned to death. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that there are various depictions showcasing different aspects of Robert II's life. From illustrations depicting his departure for the Holy Land to scenes portraying French kings and queens from the 10th to 12th century - each image provides glimpses into different facets of his reign. Lastly, we have The Obelisk in St. Georges Circus which serves as a reminder or symbol associated with Robert II's era (c1878). Though not directly linked to him personally, it represents an architectural landmark that stood witness to historical events during this time period.
