A late 19th Century illustration of James I (1394-1437), King of Scotland from 1406 to 1437, ordering the arrest of Robert, Duke of Albany, a ruthless politician. Albany was widely regarded as having caused the murder of his nephew, the Duke of Rothesay, and brother to the future King James I of Scotland. Earlier, James was held in captivity in England for eighteen years, during which time Albany served as regent in Scotland, king in all but name. He died in 1420 and was succeeded by his son, Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, who was executed for treason when James returned to Scotland in 1425.
