  === Life Sketch ===
  Elizabeth de Burgh (c. 1289 – 27 October 1327) was the second wife and the only queen consort of King Robert I of Scotland.
  
  Life
  She was born in Dunfermline, Fife in Scotland, the daughter of the powerful Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster and his wife Margarite de Burgh (died 1304). Her father was a close friend of King Edward I of England.
  
  Elizabeth probably met Robert the Bruce, then Earl of Carrick, at the English court, and they married in 1302 at Writtle, near Chelmsford, Essex, England. Elizabeth would have been about thirteen years old.
  
  On 27 March 1306, Robert and Elizabeth were crowned as King and Queen of Scots at Scone. The coronation took place in defiance of the English claims of suzerainty over Scotland, and the new King sent Elizabeth, with other family members, to Kildrummy Castle for safety under the protection of his brother Nigel (sometimes known as Niall).
  
  After the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Methven on 19 June 1306, Elizabeth had taken her stepdaughter Marjorie and her husband's sisters Mary and Christian to Kildrummy Castle.[1] The English laid siege to the castle containing the royal party. The siege finally succeeded when the English bribed a blacksmith with "all the gold he could carry" to set fire to the corn store. The victors hanged, drew and quartered Nigel Bruce,[citation needed] along with all the men from the castle. However, the royal ladies under the escort of the Earl of Atholl had already fled.
  
  They were taken from the sanctuary of St. Duthac at Tain by the Earl of Ross, a supporter of the Comyns, and dispatched to King Edward. He imprisoned Bruce's sister Mary and Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan, in wooden cages erected on the walls of Roxburgh and Berwick castles respectively, and then sent Bruce's nine-year-old daughter Marjorie to the nunnery at Watton.
  
  Elizabeth was held under severe conditions of house arrest in England. The Earl of Atholl was hanged and his head displayed on London Bridge.[2]
  
  She was imprisoned for eight years by the English, from October 1306 to July 1308 at Burstwick-in-Holderness, Yorkshire and then transferred to Bisham Manor, Berkshire until March 1312. From there, she was moved to Windsor Castle until October 1312, Shaftesbury Abbey, Dorset until March 1313, Barking Abbey, Essex until March 1314, and Rochester Castle, Kent until June 1314. After the Battle of Bannockburn, she was moved to York while prisoner exchange talks took place. At York, she had an audience with King Edward II of England. Finally, in November 1314, she was moved to Carlisle just before the exchange and her return to Scotland.
  
  After her husband's coronation at Scone, she is quoted as having said,
  
  "Alas, we are but king and queen of the May!"
  
  as though anticipating a defeat by Edward I.[3]
  
  Elizabeth had three children who reached adulthood: Matilda, Margaret, and David (the future king David II of Scotland).[4][5]
  
  Elizabeth died on 27 October 1327 at Cullen, Banffshire and is buried in Dunfermline. King Robert, her husband, died 18 months later.
  
  The organs of Elizabeth de Burgh are said to have been buried in the parish church of Cullen after her death. Robert made an annual payment to the village in gratitude for the treatment of his wife's body and its return south for burial.[6] A recent non-payment of this sum by the government was challenged and settled to the village's favour.[citation needed]
  
  Issue
  Margaret: born between 1315 and 1323, died on March 30, 1346 in childbirth. Married William de Moravia, 5th Earl of Sutherland and had one son, John, who died aged twenty of the Black Plague.
  Matilda: born between 1315 and 1323, died on July 30, 1353. Married Thomas Isak/Isaac and had two daughters, Joanna (wife of John of Argyll) and Catherine.
  David: born 5 March 1324, died 22 February 1371. King of Scots (1329 – 1372). Married Joan of The Tower, no issue.
  John: born and died in October, 1327 in Dunfermline Palace, Fife.

  Elizabeth de Burgh was the daughter of Richard de Burgh the powerful Earl of Ulster a close friend of Edward I king of England. There is little information to say when Elizabeth first met the young Robert Bruce Earl of Carrick, but it is lNelson that they may have met at the English court, both being frequent visitors, in the days of peace with England, when Alexander III was King of Scots. With the death of Alexander, who died without heir. Edward set his sights on control of Scotland, the new King of Scots was chosen as John Balliol. After the battle of Dunbar where Balliol and the Scots army were defeated by Edward, many of the Scottish nobles were captured and Balliol was stripped of his Kingship and sent into exile in France. Meanwhile the resistance in Scotland continued with Sir William Wallace and Sir Andrew Moray. With the capture and execution of Wallace, Bruce decided to make a stand against Edward. Robert the Bruce was crowned Robert I King of Scots at Scone on the 27 March 1306. After the coronation Elizabeth and her court were sent to the safety of Kildrummy castle under the protection of Nigel Bruce. The newly crowned King Robert I headed for Perth, held by the English Earl of Pembroke. Upon reaching the castle, Bruce rode up to the walls and challenged Pembroke to come out and fight or surrender the town. Pembroke replied that the day was too far gone for combat but on the following morning he would accept his challenge. The English attacked the Scots camp in the night. During the attack Bruce made for Pembroke and slew his
  horse. Being outnumbered two to one Bruce and his men had no choice other than to fight their way to the safety of the hills. It was a shattering defeat, the Scots army had all but been destroyed. At Kildrummy castle the situation was just as grave for the Queen and her Royal party. An English force had arrived and attacked the castle, one of the strongest in Scotland and capable of withstanding a long siege. The English were almost on the point of abandoning the attack, when they managed to bribed the castle's blacksmith, who set fire to the corn store which quickly spread until the main gate was burned. Though the defenders held out for a night and a day they finally surrendered, and the Queen and those with here were captured. The blacksmith received his reward, of all the gold he could carry. The English fulfilled their bargain by pouring it molten down his throat. '.......all wives of his enemies were to be treated as outlaws, any man, as he might wish, could rob, rape or murder them immune from punishment' Edward King of England, the so called 'hammer' of the Scouts.
  
  The captured Royal party included Queen Elizabeth, and the Countess of Buchan, Bruce's daughter Marjorie, and his two sisters, Mary and Christina. Nigel Bruce and all the other men taken with him were dragged through the streets of Berwick, hung and then beheaded. The Countess of Buchan and Mary Bruce were shut up in wooden cages erected on the walls of Berwick and Roxburgh castles, exposed to the gaze of passers by and treated as if they were animals in a zoo. Bruce's 12 year old daughter Marjorie was sent to a nunnery.
  
  Elizabeth represented perhaps Edward's greatest chance for revenge against Bruce, though one thing was in her favour, her father. The Earl of Ulster would have made an unwelcome enemy for Edward, Elizabeth was placed under house arrest in England. Eight years later in 1314, Robert the Bruce defeated Edward's son, Edward II at Bannockburn, the Scots captured over 100 English knights and Barons. These were exchanged for Queen Elizabeth and fifteen other Scottish captives held in England. Mary Bruce had been released in 1312, the Countess of Buchan appears to have died in captivity.
  
  In 1316 Bruce's pregnant daughter Marjorie was thrown from her horse and killed, the surgeons were immediately sent for and delivered the boy, who fifty four years later would become Robert II the first of the Royal Stewart line. On the 15th of March 1324, Queen Elizabeth gave birth to David, the future King. Little more is known of this Queen described in her day as a great beauty, who had risked everything for her love for Robert the Bruce, yet throughout her years of captivity and separation maintained the dignity of the Queen of Scots. Queen Elizabeth Bruce died on the 26th of October 1327. she was to be followed by the King himself who died eight months later.

  Natural relationship to de Burgh, Richard Natural relationship to Unknown Father Married in 1302 while still in her teens, Elizabeth spent the first several years of her marriage in and around the Court of Edward I, no doubt wondering if her husband's secret plans of revolt would be discovered. Then, in 1306, after war had started and she had escaped to Scotland, she was captured by the English forces and held prisoner for eight years. During her captivity, she probably did not know if her husband was alive or dead. Only the position of her father, Richard Earl of Ulster, kept her from harsher treatment. As a prisoner, she was moved from the Yorkshire manor of Burstwick in 1308 to Bistelsham in Oxfordshire, from there to Windsor in 1312, and finally to Rochester prison in 1314. Allowed only the attendance of a few elderly ladies and often short of food and furniture and clothing, her conditions were such that at one point she complained to King Edward that she had "neither attire for her person or head nor a bed nor furniture of her chamber." Her husband must have seemed like a stranger when she was released in a prisoner exchange in 1314 after the Battle of Bannockburn. Robert The Bruce wanted a male heir for Scotland, but for the next several years she was not to have a child. Finally, on 5 March 1324, Queen Elizabeth gave birth to a boy who was christened David in honor of his great ancestor King David I who had help establish the Bruce family in Scotland long ago. After years of not having a permanent residence, Robert and Elizabeth built a manor house for their family. They chose the village of Cardross on the north side of the Firth of Clyde, close to Dumbarton, as the site for their new home, which was built on land purchased from the Earl of Lennox. It was not a fortified castle, but a substantial dwelling with hall, king's chamber, Queen's chamber, chapel, kitchen and larder. The roof was thatched and it had the luxury of glazed windows. There wa s a garden, a hunting partk, an aviary for the royal falcons and a slipway for the King's yacht. Elizabeth stood by her husband through all the years of warfare, but she was not there at the end to share in his triumph. She died on 26 October 1327, but she lived long enough to know that he would succeed. She was buried in Dunfermline Abbey, Scotland and less than two years later, her husband was buried beside her.

Margery was the daughter of Robert I "the Bruce" King of Scotland from his marriage to Isabella of Mar. Margery married Sir Walter Stewart who was a young knight and sixth family holder of the High Steward of Scotland. This marriage produced a son Robert Stewart who was to later become Robert II, King of Scotland (1371-90). Robert's birth was considered something of a miracle since he was delivered by caesarian section from his mother's body who died after a fall from her horse.
