(The following is from "The Munro Beacon" - Vol. 35, No. 3 - "Reign of the House of Stewart (Stuart)" - by Liam Paterson.)
«i»Robert III (1390-1406)
Robert may have inherited the Bruce's name but his birth name was John, a moniker he was said to have relinquished due to the unpopularity of John de Balliol in Scotland. If he was hoping to gain some of his illustrious forebear's strength and resolve along with his name, he appears to have been misguided. Weak physically due to a horse riding accident, he found himself in a position where his brother was the real power behind the throne. Desperate to ensure this his only surviving son, James would inherit the throne, he sent the boy to safety in France. Unfortunately James was kidnapped and imprisoned by the English King Henry IV. When he heard the news, Robert is said to have rapidly lost the will to live and died a few days later.«/i»
