Murdoch evidently served as Justiciar North of the Forth around 1389, then served in some military actions against the English in the early 15th century. He was captured in 1402 by the English, but was traded for Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland. Although Murdoch inherited his father's peerages and regency position in 1420, when James I returned to Scotland in 1424 he lost his position as regent. In 1425 the king carried out a purge of the Albany Stewarts, and he was executed along with several members of his family and close associates; all of his peerage titles became attainted and were forfeited.
