NOTES: He was originally named Robert de Bruce, and to distinguish him from his father and grandfather, who had the same name, he is often referred to as Robert de Brucce VIII. He is also called Robert the Bruce. Bruce defeated the English in 1314, twice invaded England and in 1323 concluded with King Edward II of England a truce for 13 years. After the accession of King Edward III in 1327, war again broke out and the Scots were again victorious. In 1328 they secured a treaty recognizing the independence of Scotland and the right of Bruce to the throne. In his later years Bruce was stricken with leprosy and lived in seclusion at Cardoss Castle, on the northern shore of the Firth of Clyde, where he died. He was succeeded by his son, David II. Bruce's nephew, Robert II, who succeeded David, was the first king of the Stuart house of English of English and Scottish royalty.
