to_o king_n robert_n the_o second_o and_o she_o bear_v he_o david_n earl_n of_o strathern_n and_o walter_n earl_n of_o athol_n alexander_n earl_n of_o buchan_n and_o euphan_n who_o be_v marry_v to_o

marry_v a_o second_o wife_n as_o from_o the_o great_a love_n he_o carry_v to_o elizabeth_n muir_n who_o because_o of_o her_o extraordinary_a beauty_n he_o have_v love_v very_o passionate_o in_o his_o

these_o few_o convince_a answer_n 1._o that_o in_o a_o case_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n historian_n shall_v be_v little_o credit_v except_o they_o can_v have_v produce_v very_o infallible_a document_n and_o as_o in_o general_n one_o historian_n may_v make_v all_o who_o succeed_v he_o err_v so_o in_o this_o case_n boetius_fw-la who_o be_v the_o first_o live_v and_o write_v 200_o year_n after_o the_o marriage_n of_o king_n robert_n the_o second_o and_o write_v his_o history_n at_o aberdeen_n very_o remote_a from_o the_o register_n and_o record_n by_o which_o he_o shall_v have_v instruct_v himself_o nor_o do_v he_o know_v the_o importance_n of_o this_o point_n have_v touch_v it_o only_o transient_o though_o it_o have_v be_v design'd_o press_v by_o buchanan_n to_o evince_v that_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n may_v prefer_v any_o of_o the_o royal_a line_n they_o please_v and_o it_o be_v indeed_o probable_a that_o king_n robert_n the_o second_o do_v for_o some_o time_n make_v no_o great_a noise_n of_o his_o first_o marriage_n with_o elizabeth_n muir_n lest_o the_o meaness_n of_o the_o match_n shall_v have_v weaken_a his_o interest_n upon_o his_o first_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n he_o be_v himself_o the_o first_o of_o the_o race_n of_o the_o stewart_n and_o have_v so_o strong_a competitor_n as_o the_o earl_n of_o dowglass_n who_o claim_v right_o to_o the_o crown_n in_o the_o right_n of_o the_o balliol_n and_o the_o cummings_n as_o boetius_fw-la himself_z observe_v 2._o king_n robert_n the_o 3d._n have_v succeed_v as_o the_o elder_a lawful_a son_n and_o have_v be_v receive_v as_o such_o by_o that_o parliament_n and_o his_o posterity_n by_o all_o succeed_a parliament_n the_o possession_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o acquiescence_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o most_o infallible_a proof_n that_o can_v be_v adduce_v for_o prove_v that_o robert_n be_v the_o elder_a lawful_a son_n nor_o have_v most_o king_n in_o europe_n or_o the_o head_n of_o most_o private_a family_n any_o other_o proof_n of_o their_o be_v the_o elder_a and_o lawful_a son_n save_v that_o they_o succeed_v and_o be_v acknowledge_v as_o such_o 3._o to_o balance_v the_o

by_o exclude_v the_o lawful_a heir_n against_o their_o national_a oath_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o k._n kenneth_n the_o 3d_o whereby_o they_o swear_v to_o own_o always_o the_o immediate_a heir_n or_o
