Robert Keith was the 2nd son of Sir William Keith, 12th Marischal of Scotland, and his wife Margaret Fraser Keith of Touchfraser. His parents married about 1347 (certainly before 1351). Robert's date of birth is not recorded, he was likely born about 1350 at Dunotter Castle, seat of Clan Keith, in Kincardineshire, Scotland.
Robert's older brother John died in 1374. When his father died between 1407 and 1413, Robert succeeded him as Marischal of Scotland, and his Chief of Clan Keith.
According to the Peerage Robert was knighted between 1383 and 1390.
Robert died sometime before 20 Jul 1430.
---------------------
SIR ROBERT De KEITH, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir, succeeded his father. After the death of his elder brother he had received from his parents the barony of Strathkyn; and, after the decease of his nephew Robert, the hereditary sheriffdom of Kincardine and a settlement in reversion of all the lands of Keith, with the office of the Marshalcy of Scotland, to hold to him and his heirs male, according to the charter of entail made by Robert I to Sir Robert De Keith, Marshal of Scotland, his father's great-uncle, by the ordinance of Parliament. He was knighted between February 1383 and September 1390. In May 1421 he was one of the Scottish hostages suggested by England as acceptable for the deliverance of James I [SCT]; in December 1423 and February 1424 he had licence to meet the returning King at Durham, with a retinue of 16 persons; and in July 1425, being then a hostage in York Castle, received permission, with others, to return to Scotland, on providing equivalent hostages. He married the heiress of the barony of Troup, who predeceased him. He seems to have been living 2, but was dead before 20 July 1430, when his son, William De Keith, as Marshal of Scotland, witnessed a charter of the Constable.

Sir Robert, 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 ScotiA?' 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 hame 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.
