The significant effect that a love of b o ok s a n d h istory had on Robert's life cannot be overstated: Barbour rec o u n t e d how Bruce read aloud to his band of supporters while they were o n t h e r u n i n 1306 and recited from memory twelfth century tales of Char le m a g n e, and the exploits of Hannibal.

The period from 1302-1304 saw Bruce no longer acting as a guardian of t h e k i n g dom and once again pledging fealty to Edward I, perhaps in an ef f o r t t o s tabilize family relationships between Carrick and Ulster. In r e t u r n f or renewing his homage to Edward, the king pardoned Bruce and hi s m e n , p r omised to protect his landed inheritance both in England and i n S c o t l and, and also promised to support his legal pursuit of 'the righ t o f ' h i s f amily. | Bruce, King of Scotland Robert I (I8007)
