murdoch stewart , duke of albany -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- 1362 -- 24 may 1425 -rrb- was a leading scottish nobleman , the son of robert stewart , duke of albany and the grandson of king robert ii of scotland , who founded the stewart dynasty .
in 1389 he was justiciar north of the forth .
in 1402 he was captured at the battle of homildon hill and would spend 12 years in captivity in england .
after his father died in 1420 , and while the future king james i of scotland was himself held captive in england , stewart served as governor of scotland , until 1424 when james was finally ransomed and returned to scotland .
however , in 1425 , soon after james 's coronation , albany was arrested , found guilty of treason , and executed , along with two of his sons .
his only surviving heir was james the fat , who escaped to antrim , ireland , where he died in 1429 .
albany 's wife isabella of lennox survived the destruction of her family , and would live to see the murder of james i and the restoration of her title and estates .
