Some royal names are predestined to misfortune: in France, there is the name "Henry".

Henry I was poisoned, Henry II was killed in a tournament, Henry III and Henry IV were assassinated.

As to Henry V, for whom the past is so fatal already, God alone knows what the future has in store for him.
In Scotland, the unlucky name is "Stuart".

Robert I, founder of the race, died at twenty-eight of a lingering illness.

Robert II, the most fortunate of the family, was obliged to pass a part of his life, not merely in retirement, but also in the dark, on account of inflammation of the eyes, which made them blood-red.
