Is there any evidence that he spoke Gaelic? PatGallacher 19:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes. He and his father had a Gaelic chaplain, they were both raised in the Gaelic speaking area, and in this case, he even has a Gaelic name (Muiredach), of which Murdoch is one of several possible anglicizations. Even the title Duke of Albany is a 14th century borrowing from Gaelic. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 19:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

The right sidebar listing the familial connections for Murdoch Stewart lists his mother as Marjorie Bruce, linking to the entry which actually represents his father's father's mother. I have unreferenced genealogical information for my family refering to Murdoch's mother as "Margaret Cass", although I have no idea where that name comes from. Meanwhile the current entry for Murdoch's father (Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany) lists Murdoch's mother as Mary Graham, Countess of Menteith (etc). Can someone resolve this situation correctly? adamooo 22:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
