Answer
In 1349, the marriage of Robert III's parents, Walter Stewart and Marjorie Bruce, was legitimized. This legitimization was significant as it ensured that Robert III had a legitimate claim to the Scottish throne. Prior to this, the marriage had been considered invalid due to the fact that Marjorie Bruce was the daughter of King Robert the Bruce, who had been excommunicated by the Pope.
