Randolph Stewart, 13th Earl of Galloway
Randolph Keith Reginald Stewart, 13th Earl of Galloway (born October 14, 1928 , † March 27, 2020 in Castle Douglas ) was a British peer and senior cadet of the Scottish Stewart clan , from which branch lines to the Stewart and royal dynasties developed in the Middle Ages. Stuart split off.
He was the only son of Randolph Stewart, 12th Earl of Galloway , from his marriage to Philippa Fendall Wendell.
He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and therefore underwent a lobotomy in 1952 to better control his behavior. This operation changed him permanently: "I was never the same again" ( English "I was never the same again" ), he told an interviewer. After the operation he spent 15 years in the mental hospital of the Crichton Royal Infirmary in Dumfries . In 1970 his parents tried to find a place for him at the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Roslin .
When his father died in 1978, he inherited him as the 13th Earl of Galloway . A seat in the House of Lords was associated with this title until 1999 . He never gave a speech there.
On October 17, 1975, he married Lily May Budge (1916-1999), the youngest daughter of Andrew Miller from Duns in Berwickshire . Since the marriage remained childless, his third nephew, Andrew Clyde Stewart , a great-grandson of the 9th Earl, inherited his title of nobility in 2020.
