Master of Marischal

edit

The "Master of Marischal" was the title of an heir apparent, but one who did not inherit the office of Marischal of Scotland. In this case the father, John Keith, predeceased his father and did not become Marischal. In the text it is stated (and source cited) that "He [Robert III] succeeded his grandfather as Great Marischal." But for clarity I'll add it to the alpha note.
