NOTES: Founder of the Stuart dynasty in Scotland and England. In 1318 the Scottish parliament passed a decree providing that if Robert Bruce died without sons, his grandson should be his successor; a son, later Kings David II, was born to Bruce in 1324. In 1326 Robert succeeded his father as steward of Scotland and in 1331 David was crowned king. David was exiled to France in 1333 and Robert served as his regent until his return in 1341. During Robert II's reign, Scotland was twice invaded by the English, in 1384 and in 1385. Because of old age infirmity, Robert did not aid the Scottish barons in resisting these invasions, nor did he join in their retaliatory expedition against the English in 1388.
