    • Lord Robert Keith

      Lord Robert Keith, Master of Marischal was born in 1483 in Scotland. He married Lady Elizabeth Douglas some time before January 8 1505.was the son of William Keith, 2nd Earl Marischal and Lady Elizabeth Gordon.

      Lord Keith was involved in the Battle at Flodden field on 9 September 1513. This battle was when King Henry VIII of England's northern army under Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, annihilated the invading Scots army near Branxton, Northumberland. Among the more than 10,000 dead was James IV King of Scotland. His infant son would succeed him as James V King of Scotland and the queen, Margaret Tudor, would assume the regency.

      He died in 1513, though thePeerage.com notes that he died some time between 24 August 1525 and 22 April 1525.

      It is unclear whether Lord Keith died in the battle at Flodden Field, despite the amazing coincidence of death date and the battle at Flodden Field. It is noted that Lord Keith died before his father. Lord Keith was said to have been killed at the Battle of Flodden, 1513, but still alive on 5 April 1514 per Sir James Balfour Paul's "Scots Peerage".

      Robert Keith was styled as Lord Keith, Master of Marischal.
