• Notes

  He was a 12th century Norman noble and Lord of Annandale. He was the so n , p e r h aps the second son, of Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale. The elder de Brus' allegiances were compromised when David I invaded En g l a n d i n the later 1130s, and he had renounced his fealty to David befo r e t h e B a ttle of the Standard in 1138. The younger Robert however remai n e d l o y al and took over his father's land in Scotland, whilst the Engli s h t e r r itories remained with the elder Robert and passed to the latter' s e l d e r s on Adam. Bruce family tradition has it that Robert II was capt ur e d b y h i s father at the battle and given over to King Stephen of Engl a n d .
