    Note: Robert de Brus (July 1243 – soon before 4 March 1304[1]), 6th Lord of Annandale, jure uxoris Earl of Carrick[2] (1252–1292), Lord of Hartness,[3] Writtle and Hatfield Broad Oak, was a cross-border lord,[a] and participant of the Second Barons' War, Ninth Crusade, Welsh Wars, and First War of Scottish Independence, as well as father to the future king of Scotland Robert the Bruce. Of Scoto-Norman-Irish heritage, through his father he was a third-great grandson of David I of Scotland. Other ancestors included Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, Henry I of England and Aoife MacMurrough, daughter of Dermot MacMurrough.[4] Life The son and heir of Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale and Lady Isabella de Clare, daughter of the Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, his birth date is generally accepted, but his place of birth is less certain. It is generally accepted that he, rather than his first son, was born on the family estate at Writtle, Essex.[5][6][7] Legend tells that the 27-year-old Robert de Brus was a handsome young man participating in the Ninth Crusade. When Adam de Kilconquhar, one of his companions-in-arms, fell in 1270, at Acre, Robert was obliged to travel to tell the sad news to Adam's widow Marjorie of Carrick. The story continues that Marjorie was so taken with the messenger that she had him held captive until he agreed to marry her, which he did in 1271.[1][8] However, since the crusade landed in Acre on 9 May 1271, and only started to engage the Muslims in late June, the story and/or his participation in the Ninth Crusade are generally discounted.[5][b] What is recorded, is that: In 1264 his father, the 5th Lord of Annandale, was captured, along with Henry III of England, Richard of Cornwall, and the future Edward I of England at the Battle of Lewes, Sussex. Bruce negotiated with his uncle Bernard Brus, and cousin Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, both supporters of Simon de Montfort, over the terms of the ransom. Following the Battle of Evesham, in August 1265, both Bruce and his father profited from the seizure of the rebellious Barons' possessions, including those of Bernard. The younger Robert acquired lands in Yorkshire, Northumberland, and Bedfordshire.[9] Robert and his younger brother Richard are known to have received letters of protection, in July 1270, to sail with Edward for crusade that August, and are presumed to have taken the cross, with Edward, at Northampton in 1268. They were joined by their Father, who'd sought pardon from Alexander III, but their date of return from Acre is less certain; it may have been as early as October 1271, when the younger Robert is recorded as receiving a quitclaim in Writtle, Essex, and his mother a gift of deer, from the King, also in Essex.[9] In 1272 he married, without Scottish Royal consent, Marjorie, Countess of Carrick. As a result, she temporarily lost her castle and estates, that Oram described as poor, but regained them on payment of a fine.[10] Around this time his mother died, the date is unknown but on 3 May 1273 his father married Christina de Ireby, the Widow of Adam Jesmond, the Sheriff of Northumberland, at Hoddam. The marriage added estates in Cumberland and dower land from her previous husband, to the Brus holdings. The younger Robert and his step-mother do not appear to have got on, with Robert recorded as trying to withhold dower lands, after his father's death in 1295.[9][11][12] This may be one of the reasons why the Father appears to have independently managed the possessions in the North, as well as intermittently holding the position of Constable of Carlisle, while Robert appears to have confined himself largely to the management of the southern and midland possessions, with his brother Richard who independently held Tottenham and Kempston, as well as commanding a Knight banneret for Edward. Richard is recorded as receiving a number of wards and gifts of deer and to have sought permission to empark the forest at Writtle at this time. Robert, while not part of Edward's household, became an envoy and mouthpiece for Alexander III at court, swearing fealty on Alexander's behalf, to Edward at Westminster, in 1277, as well as following Edward to Gascony[9] Robert is also recorded as following Alexander to Tewkesbury, in the autumn of 1278.[9] 1281 He is part of the delegation to Guy of Dampierre, Count of Flanders, to arrange the marriage of Alexander, Prince of Scotland, to Guy's daughter Margaret (d. 1331). The couple married on 14 November 1282 at Roxburgh 1282 He participates with his younger brother Richard, who commands at Denbigh, and is paid for his services in Edward's Conquest of Wales.[9][13] 1283 June, he is summoned by writ to Shrewsbury, for the trial of Dafydd ap Gruffydd. In February 1284, Bruce attended to convention at Scone, where the right of succession of Alexander III's granddaughter, Margaret, Maid of Norway was recognized.[14] On 1 June 1285 the Earl & Countess, at Turnberry, grant the men of Melrose abbey certain freedoms, according to English law.[9] 1286 He is witness, along with his son Robert, to the grant of the church of Campbeltown to Paisley Abbey. Also in 1286, he was a signatory to the Band of Turnberry along with his father. 1290 He is party to the Treaty of Birgham. He supports his father's claim to the vacant throne of Scotland, left so on the death of the Maid of Norway in 1290. The initial civil proceedings, known as the Great Cause, awarded the Crown to his father's first cousin once removed, and rival, John Balliol. 1291 He swears fealty to Edward I as overlord of Scotland. 1292 His wife Marjorie dies. November, his father, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale—the unsuccessful claimant—resigns his Lordship of Annandale, and claim to the throne to him, allegedly to avoid having to swear fealty to John.[5] In turn he passes his late wife's Earldom of Carrick, in fee, on to his son Robert. 1293 January 1 – His warrener at Great Baddow, a Richard, is caught poaching venison at Northle.[9] 1293 He sets sail for Bergen, Norway, for the marriage of his daughter Isabel to King Eric II of Norway, the father of the late Maid of Norway, son-in-law of King Alexander III, and a candidate of the Great Cause. Her dowry for the marriage was recorded by Audun Hugleiksson who noted she brought: precious clothes, 2 golden boiler, 24 silver plate, 4 silver salt cellars, 12 two-handled soup bowls (scyphus) to the Eric's second marriage. 1294/5 He returns to England. In May 1295 his father, the 5th Lord of Annandale, died,[14] and on 6 October, Bruce swore fealty to Edward and was made Constable and Keeper of Carlisle Castle, a position his father previously held.[1] Refuses a summons to the Scottish host. Annandale is seized, by King John Balliol, and given to John "The Red" Comyn, Lord of Badenoch. Confirms, to Gisborough Priory, the churches of Annandale and Hart. Witnessed by Walter de Fauconberg and Marmaduke de Thweng.[9] Exchanges common pasture, for land held by William of Carlisle at Kinmount.[9] Exchanges land in Estfield, for a field adjacent to the prior of Hatfield Regis's manor at Brunesho End Broomshawbury.[9] Grants Robert Taper, and his wife Millicent, a messuage in Hatfield Regis, and via a separate grant 5.5 acres (22,000 m2) of arable land 1 acre (4,000 m2) of meadow, in Hatfield Regis, for 16s annual rent.[9] Grants John de Bledelowe, the former lands / tenement of Richard de Cumbes, in Hatfield Regis, for 1d annual rent.[9] Alters the terms of a grant to Richard de Fanwreyte, of Folewelleshaleyerde, Montpeliers, Writtle, from services to an annual rent.

Robert forces the raiders to retreat back through Annandale to Sweetheart Abbey. 28 April, he again swears fealty to Edward I and fights for Edward, at the Battle of Dunbar Castle. August, with his son Robert he renews the pledge of homage and fealty to Edward, at the "victory parliament" in Berwick. Edward I denies his claim to the throne and he retires to his estates in Essex.[5] 29 August – At Berwick, agrees the dower lands of his widowed step mother, Christina.[9] Annandale is re-gained.

    Note: BRUCE, ROBERT DE VII, EARL OF CARRICK (1243-1304), son of the Competitor, Robert de Bruce VI, is said to have accompanied Edward, afterwards Edward I, in the crusade of 1269. On his return he married Marjory, countess of Carrick, and became by courtesy of Scotland Earl of Carrick. A romantic story handed down by the Scottish historians, that Bruce was carried off by the heiress when hunting near her castle of Turnberry, is probably an invention to excuse his marriage with a royal ward without the king’s consent. In 1278 he did homage to Edward on behalf of Alexander III for his English fiefs. In 1281 he borrowed 40l. [40 pounds] from his old comrade Edward I, a debt which played a part in the fortunes of his son. He was present at Scone in 1284, when the right of succession of the Maid of Norway was recognised, but took part with his father and the other nobles in the league of Turnberry, on 20 Sept. 1286, intended to defeat it. Like his father, however, he joined in the treaty of Brigham (14 March 1290), rendered abortive by Margaret’s death. The agreement between Florence, count of Holland, and his father on 14 June 1292, to which the earl was a party, shows that Bruce anticipated an adverse decision. About this time he went to Norway with his eldest daughter Isabel, possibly on account of her marriage to King Eirik, the widower of Margaret, the daughter of Alexander III, which took place on 15 Nov. 1298, but also perhaps to avoid attendance at Baliol’s parliament, to which he was summoned. It may have been with the same motive that after the death of his wife in 1292 he resigned the earldom of Carrick to his son, afterwards king (A. P. Scot. i. 449 a b). On the death of his father he did homage to Edward for his English fiefs on 4 June 1295. On 6 Oct. following he was given the custody of the castle of Carlisle during the king’s pleasure, and three days after he took before the bishop of Durham and barons of the exchequer an oath to hold it faithfully and render it to no one but the king. When Baliol attempted to assert his independence, as was natural, his rivals the Bruces side with Edward, and in 1296, after the monarch had taken Dunbar, Bruce the elder, according to Scottish chroniclers, claimed the fulfilment of a promise, by which he was to be made king of Scotland. The answer, in Norman-French, of Edward, as given by Wyntoun (B. viii. 1927) and Fordun, though it has been doubted, suits his character:– Ne avons ren autres chos a fere Que a vous reamgs (i.e. reaulmes) garnere Have I nought ellys to do nowe But wyn a kynryk to gyve yhowe? Baliol, in revenge for Bruce’s aid to Edward, seized Annandale, and gave it, with the castle of Lochmaben, to John Comyn; but his possession was brief, for Clifford, the English warden, retook it in the same year. The elder Bruce retired from Scotland and lived on his English estates till his death in 1304, when he was buried at Holmecultram in Cumberland. Besides his eldest son Robert the king, he left Edward, lord of Galloway [see Bruce, Edward], killed at Dundalk in 1318; Thomas and Alexander, taken in Galloway, and executed at Carlisle by Edward’s order in 1307; and Nigel, who suffered the same fate at Berwick in 1306. His daughters, Isabel, Mary, Christian, Matilda and Margaret, all married Scottish nobles or landed men in the life of their brother, whose hands were strengthened by these alliances in his contest for the crown. A sixth daughter Elizabeth, and a seventh whose name is unknown, are of doubtful authenticity. [Rymer’s Fœdera, ii. 266, 471, 558, 605, 612; Stevenson’s Documents illustrative of History of Scotland. See Index under Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick, but the references after 1295 are to his son Robert, afterwards king; Acts Parl. Scot. 1. 424 a, 441 a, 447 b, 448 a. There are many errors in the early Scottish writers as to the Bruce genealogy, and the repetition of the same name led to frequent confusion of different persons; but these are now corrected by the more accurate examination of the records due to Chalmers’s Caledonia, Lord Hailes, and Kerr in his History of the Reign of Robert the Bruce.] Æ.

    Publication: Name: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTLAND.htm#RobertBrusdied1304;
    Note: ROBERT [VI] de Brus, son of ROBERT [V] de Brus Lord of Annandale & his first wife Isabel de Clare (Jul 1243-shortly before 4 Apr 1304, bur Abbey of Holm Cultram). The Annals of Tewkesbury record the birth in Jul 1243 of “filium nomine ---” to “Isabel de Clara…[et] R. de Brus”. The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus quartus” succeeded “Robertus Brus tertius” and was buried “apud Holme-Coltram”. Earl of Carrick, de iure uxoris, he resigned this to his son 27 Oct 1292. His father resigned in his favour his claim to the Scottish throne 7 Nov 1292, both father and son refusing to do homage to King John Balliol. He succeeded his father in 1295 as Lord of Annandale. He became Lord Brus by virtue of his summons to attend the English parliament in 1295. m firstly (Turnberry Castle 1271) as her second husband, MARGARET Ctss of Carrick suo iure, widow of ADAM de Kilconquhar, daughter and heiress of NEIL Earl of Carrick & his wife Margaret Stewart (-[1292]). The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus quartus” married “filiam et hæredem comitis Karrigg”. The Liber Pluscardensis names "unicam filiam suam Martham…comitissa de Carrick" as heiress of "Adam comite de Carrick" and records her marriage to "Roberto de Bruys…secundo, futurus Vallis Anandiæ dominus in Scocia et Clevland in Anglia" without the king’s permission. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death "in Terram Sanctam pro Christo peregrinaturus" of "Adam comes de Carrik", dated to [1271] from the context, leaving "unicam filiam…Martham, quæ sibi in comitatum successit" and her marriage to "Roberto de Bruce…filio Roberti de Bruce cognomine Nobilis, domini Vallis de Annandia in Scotia et de Clyveland in Anglia". The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records that "Robertum Bruse filium Roberti de Bruys, cognomine…domini Vallis de Anandia in Scocia et de Cliflande in Anglia" abducted "Martha filia et heres unica Nigelli comitis de Carryk" to "castrum suum de Turnberry" and married her without the licence of the king. These passage confuse the supposed daughter with her mother. m secondly (licence 19 Sep 1295, divorced [Oct 1296/May 1299]) as her second husband, MATILDA, widow of PHILIP Burnell, daughter of JOHN FitzAlan Lord of Clun and Oswestry & his wife Isabel de Mortimer (-before [1330]). The licence for “Matilda late the wife of Philip Burnel tenant in chief” to marry “Robert de Brus lord of Annandale” is dated 19 Sep 1295. An order dated 13 Oct 1296 relates to a claim by "Robert de Brus earl of Carrick and lord of Annandale and Matill[idis] his wife in a plea of dower". “Matilda formerly the wife of Philip Burnel” sued “Ralph Springehose” and others for land in Wolverhampton and 26 named tenants in Wolverhampton for a third of their holdings “in that vill as her dower” dated [6 May/1 Jun] 1299. She married thirdly (before 19 Jun 1316) Simon Criketot. Her third marriage is confirmed by an agreement dated “Saturday before Midsummer 8 Edw II” between “Sir Hugh le Despenser and Sir John de Haudlo” and “Simon Criketot” relating to covenants between Sir Hugh and Sir John and “Dame Maud Burnell now wife of the said Simon” on the marriage of “the said Sir John and Dame Maud Lovel daughter of the said Dame Maud Burnel”. “John de Handlo [Haudlo] and Maud his wife” petitioned for lands, dated to [1330], stating that “Philip Burnel, father of Maud de Handlo, and Maud his wife” were seised of tenements “given in free marriage by Richard Fitz Alan Earl of Arundel, Maud’s brother”, after the death of Maud senior. m thirdly as her first husband, ELEANOR, daughter of --- (-[13 Apr/8 Sep] or [16 Mar/19 Oct] 1331). A charter dated 2 Dec 1305 refers to "Alianora widow of Robert de Brus" She married secondly ([2 Dec 1305/8 Feb 1306]) as his first wife, Richard le Waleys of Burgh Wallis, Yorkshire, Lord Waleys. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. Robert [VI] & his first wife had eleven children: 1. ISABEL Bruce (1272-1358). The Chronicle of Lanercost records the marriage "post festum sancti Martini" in 1293 of "filia comitis Roberti de Carrich" and "regi Norwagiæ Magno". The Icelandic Annals record the marriage in 1293 of "Ericus rex Norvegiæ" and "Isabellam filiam domini Rodberti filii Rodberti, comitis Brunsvicensis". A charter dated 25 Sep 1293 records articles delivered to "Lady Isabella de Brus, Queen of Norway". m (Bergen before 25 Sep 1293) as his second wife, ERIK II King of Norway, son of MAGNUS IV "Lagabøte/Lagabæter/the Law-reformer" King of Norway & his wife Ingeborg of Denmark (1268-Bergen 13 Jul 1299, bur Bergen, Christ's Church). He was a claimant to the throne of Scotland in 1291, thirteenth in order on the Great Roll of Scotland. 2. MARY Bruce ([1273]-before 22 Sep 1323). Orders for the "farther…custody of the countesses of Carrick and Buchan, Marie and Christine the sisters, and Margerie the daughter, of Robert de Brus", specifying that "three of the ladies to be in kages", are dated 7 Nov 1306. m firstly (1305 or 1312) as his [3rd] wife, NEIL Campbell of Lochow, son of COLIN Campbell & his wife --- (-[26 Apr 1315/1316]). m secondly (1316) ALEXANDER Fraser, son of ANDREW Fraser & his wife --- (-killed 1332). Lord Great Chamberlain of Scotland. 3. ROBERT [VII] Bruce (Writtle, near Chelmsford, Essex 11 Jul 1274-Cardross Castle, Dumbartonshire 7 Jun 1329, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife). The Liber Pluscardensis records the birth in 1274 of "Robertus de Broys tercius…rex Scociæ futurus". The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus quintus…rex Scotiæ” succeeded “Robertus Brus quartus”. He succeeded his father 27 Oct 1292 as Earl of Carrick.

    Publication: Name: https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun02pauluoft/page/428/mode/1up;
    Note: History of the Bruce Earls of Carrick beginning with Adelm (Adam) De Brus in the 11th century (before 1080) down through Alexander de Brus (son of Edward, Earl of Carrick) who died in 1333; after which the earldom went to the Stewarts Pages 428 to 437 ADELM (or ADAM) DE BRUS, is said to have been the second son of Robert de Brus, a Norman knight, and Emma, daughter of Allan, Earl of Brittany. He died about 1080; he is said to have married Emma, daughter of Sir William de Ramsay, but this also is doubtful. He left issue, so far as is known: — 1. ROBERT. 2. William, the first Prior of Gisburne, who was buried there, 1155 ROBER DE BRUS succeeded his father in the barony of Skelton. He married Agnes. He died in May 1141, leaving issue: 1. Adam, who succeeded in Skelton. 2. ROBERT, surnamed 'le meschin,' who succeeded in Annandale. 3. Pagan, supposed to have been the founder of the family of Bruce of Pickering. 4. Agatha, married to Ralph, son of Ribald, Lord of Middleham. ROBERT DE BRUSS, ' le meschin ' or the younger, the second son of his father, got from him his Scottish possessions of Annandale just before the battle of the Standard in 1138; Brus married a lady whose Christian name was Euphemia. He died in 1194, leaving issue at least two sons: 1. Robert, married in 1183 Isabel, natural daughter of King William the Lion by the daughter of Robert Avenel. He died before his father in 1191, in which year his widow married Robert de Ros. 2. WILLIAM WILLIAM DE BRUS succeeded his father in Annandale about 1194. His wife's name was Christina, who survived him and married, after his death in 1215, Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, as his second wife. He had issue: 1. ROBERT. 2. William. 3. John ROBERT DE BRUS, surnamed 'the noble.' He married Isabel, second daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, younger brother of King Malcolm IV and King William; it was through this marriage that the succession to the Crown of Scotland came into the family of Bruce. They had issue: 1. ROBERT, 'the Competitor.' 2. Beatrice, who in 1221 was the wife of Hugo de Neville. ROBERT DE BRUS was born in 1210, and at the Convention at Roxburgh in 1255 he was appointed one of the Counsellors and Guardians to the King. He served on the side of King Henry III in the wars of the Barons, and after the battle of Evesham was appointed Governor of Carlisle Castle and Sheriff of Cumberland. After the death of King Alexander III in 1286, the Maid of Norway was, in default of heirs-male, proclaimed at Scone as Reine Heretiere and successor to her grandfather, she being then three years of age. Robert de Brus, however, assembled his friends and relations at Turnberry Castle, 20 September 1286, and set forth his claims to the Crown, saying that he could prove by witnesses then living that King Alexander III of Scotland, when childless, had declared him heir-presumptive to the Crown; that a female was incompetent to reign, and that his cousin, Devorgilla, the daughter of Margaret, the eldest daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, the common ancestor of many of the claimants, should be set aside in favour of himself, the son of Margaret's immediate younger sister, Isabella. This claim, however, was temporarily suspended, owing to the recognition of the Maid of Norway but in 1290, on the death of that Princess, Brus reasserted it, and took active steps towards having himself proclaimed King. This was stopped by the influence of Edward I, and ultimately Brus retired to his Castle of Lochmaben, and agreed that his claim should be tried along with those of the other Competitors by Edward as arbiter. After the award of the Crown to Baliol, Robert de Brus resigned to his son, Robert, Earl of Carrick, all his claim to the Kingdom of Scotland. This was on the morrow of St. Leonard, 5 November 1292. He was an old man by this time, and only lived a few years longer, dying before 3 May 1294. He married, first, in or before 1240, Isobel, second daughter of Gilbert de Clare, third Earl of Gloucester and Hereford. She was born 1226 and was only thirteen when married. By her, who was alive in 1284, he had issue: 1. ROBERT, who became Earl of Carrick 2. William, married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Raymond de Sully. 3. Sir Bernard of Connington and Exton, married, first, Alicia de Clare, and, secondly, Constance de Morleyn. 4. Richard, died before 26 January 1286-87, and his lands were repledged to Robert Brus, his father. Robert de Brus,'the Competitor,' married, secondly, before November 1275, Cristiana, daughter of Sir William de Ireby, and widow of Thomas Lascelles and of Adam de Gesemuth. She had no issue by her third husband, whom she survived, but was dead in September 1305. ROBERT BRUCE, eldest son of 'the Competitor,' married, as her second husband, Marjorie, eldest daughter and heiress of her father Neil, Earl of Carrick, and so became Earl of Carrick jure uxoris. Their meeting has been differently related by various authors, but the main features of the story are always the same. On Bruce's arrival at Turnberry to convey to the lady the news that her husband, Adam de Kilconquhar, had been slain at Acre, he met the child widow hawking with her attendants. Having delivered his message, he was preparing to take leave, when she ordered her retainers to take him a prisoner to her castle, where, after an honorable captivity of a few days, they were married. These hasty and unauthorized espousals were nominally disapproved by the King, and a fine imposed. But as she could hardly have chosen a more unexceptionable husband, the pair were soon received into royal favour. The Countess Marjorie died in 1292, and Bruce, refusing to do homage to Baliol, handed over the earldom to his son (afterwards Robert I), and retired to Norway with his daughter Isabella for a time. On his father's death in 1294 he returned to England and had livery of his father's lands there and was appointed Governor of the Castle of Carlisle. He was summoned to the English Parliament as a baron (Lord Bruce) on 24 June 1295. He and his son Robert swore fealty to Edward 28 August 1296. He accompanied that monarch in his expedition to Scotland against Baliol in 1296, but claims to the throne being scouted by Edward, he again retired to England, residing chiefly at Broomeshoobury. He died shortly before 4 April 1304 and was buried at Holm Oultram. He had married as a second wife Alianora who is mentioned as his widow in 1305, and she married, in 1306, Richard de Waleys. By the Countess Marjorie he had issue: 1. ROBERT, afterwards King Robert I 2. Edward, of whom hereafter 3. Thomas, was wounded and taken prisoner by Sir Dougal MacDowal at Lochryan, and was brought by him to Carlisle Castle, where he was executed by order of King Edward I. 1306-7. 4. Alexander, suffered the same fate at the same time as his brother. It is said he was a learned man, had been educated at Cambridge, and was Dean of Glasgow. 5. Sir Nigel, sometimes called Neil, described as miles pulcherrime juventutis. After holding the Castle of Kildrummie for his brother, along with the Earl of Atholl, the fortress was set on fire, and he was compelled to surrender in September 1306. He was taken to Berwick, and there executed. 6. Isabel. She is generally said to have married Sir Thomas Randolph of Strathdon, Great Chamberlain to Alexander III and to have...

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. (source:Kings and Queens of Scotland).
