• Notes

  Anabella was crowned with Robert at Scone Palace when he came to the th r o n e i n 1 390. She continued bearing children until she was past forty a n d h a d h e r last child, the future James I of Scotland, in 1394. King Robert, an invalid since 1384 due to an accident with a horse, gre w i n c r e asingly despondent and incompetent throughout his reign and was n o t c a p a ble to govern. During this time he is said to have said to her t h a t h e s h ould be buried in a dung heap with the epitaph "Here lies the w o r s t o f k ings and the most miserable of men". Because the king was not able to rule, Anabella was prompted to manage s t a t e a f fairs as de facto ruler. The chronicles of Scotland generally pr a i s e q u een Anabella and her conduct as queen. Protecting the interests o f h e r o l d est son, David, she arranged a great tournament in 1398 in Edi nb u r g h , where her oldest son was knighted. In April of that year she al s o c a l l ed a council where he was created Duke of Rothesay and Lieutenan t o f t h e R e alm in the same year. Shortly after his mother's death he wo ul d b e i m p risoned by his uncle and died in mysterious circumstances. Da v id w a s d e scribed as debauched, self-indulgent and erratic, and the Duk e o f A l b a ny did not have to fight hard to control him.
