Marriage Notes:
"Sir Robert (Keith), the eldest surviving son, succeeded his father before the end of 1410. In two charters of the year 1407, Robert de Keth, son of William the Marischal, appears as a substitute after John Stewart, Lord of Buchan, and his two brothers Andrew and Robert. In 1375 he had a charter of confirmation from Robert II. of the forest of Cowie, the forest of the Mounth, and other lands. In March 1406-7, Robert, Duke of Albany, confirmed two charters by his father-in-law, Sir William de Keth, Marischal of Scotland, to his son and heir Sir Robert de Keth, Lord of Troup, one of the office of Sheriff of Kincardineshire, the other of the barony of Keith, office of Marischal of Scotland, lands of Colbanyston, barony of Aldene (now Aden), and forest of Kintore in Aberdeenshire, and other lands in Banffshire. He was one of the commissioners to treat for the liberation of King James I. in 1423-24, and was a hostage for his ransom 28 March 1424, his estate being at this time valued at 800 merks. On 16 June 1425, he was handed over to Sir John Langeton, Warden of the Castle of York, but on the same day leave was given him to return to Scotland until the following Martinmas. He was dead before 20 July 1430, when his son William witnesses as ' marescallus Scotiae ' a charter by Sir William Hay of Erroll, Constable of Scotland. On 24 January 1446- 47 King James II. issued a brieve to the Sheriffs of Aberdeen and Banff ordaining them to pay the bishops the teind penny due from the profits of Aden, Kintore, and Skene, through the decease of ' our cosynge umquhile the Lord of Kethe.'
He married the heiress of Troup, whose name has not been ascertained, with whom he got that barony. He is also, but on doubtful authority, said to have married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir David Lindsay, first Earl of Crawford."
