• Notes

  "BRUCE, family in Scottish history, originally named de Bruce, descended from Robert de Bruce I (d. about 1094). De Bruce was a Norman knight from Bruis, a castle near Cherbourg, France, who in 1066 went to England with William the Conqueror, later William I, King of England. "Robert de Bruce II (d. 1141), son of Robert de Bruce I, was a companion in arms of Prince David of Scotland, afterward David I, from whom he received a grant of the lordship of Annandale (now the county of Dumfries).The English estates of Robert de Bruce II were inherited by his eldest son, whose male line terminated in Peter Bruce (d. 1271), Constable of Scarborough. "Annandale passed to the second son, Robert de Bruce III (d. 1189?), who is considered the founder of the Scottish branch of the family. He had two sons: Robert de Bruce IV (d. 1191?), who in 1183 married a daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland; and William de Bruce (fl. 1191) whose son Robert de Bruce V (d. 1245) married a niece of William the Lion, thus laying the foundation for the claim of the House of Bruce to the Scottish throne. "The son of Robert de Bruce V, Robert de Bruce VI (1210-1295), called the Competitor, vied unsuccessfully for the Scottish throne with John de Baliol. The son of Robert de Bruce VI, Robert de Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick (1253-1304), paid homage to Edward I, King of England. "In 1306 the son of Robert de Bruce VII, Robert de Bruce VIII, usually known as Robert Bruce, became king of Scotland as Robert I. The Scottish throne passed to his son, David Bruce, known as David II, King of Scotland; he died without an heir. David's nephew, also the grandson of King Robert I, ascended to the Scottish throne as Robert II (q.v.) and founded the Stuart house of kings of England and Scotland."
