Notes for Walter Of Scotland:
Walter Stewart, the 6th Great Steward of Scotland, commanded the left wing of the Scottish army at the Battle of Bannockburn (with his cousin, Sir James Douglas), in 1314, when he was age twenty-one. Walter was knighted by King Robert Bruce for his bravery at Bannockburn. At the end of 1314, Walter was sent by Robert Bruce to the English to retrieve the king's wife and other members of his family who had been held prisoners of the English for many years. In 1315, King Robert Bruce gave his daughter Marjory in marriage to the now twenty-two year-old Walter, and with her gave in free marriage the barony of Bathgate, with Riccarton and Ratho, and other lands. Before that marriage, the issue of who would succeed to the Crown of Scotland had been settled. If the brother of Robert Bruce, Edward Bruce, had no male heirs (which he died in Ireland without male heirs), then the Crown went to Marjory. After Robert Stewart was born to Marjory and Walter Stewart, he (Robert) was made the heir to the Crown (parliament held at Scone 3 Dec 1318). Thus, at the death of King David Bruce, Robert Stewart (Robert II) became the King of Scotland, and the first of the Stewart line. Walter was Regent of Scotland during Robert Bruce's expedition into Ireland in 1316. He defended Berwick, Scotland, against an English army. Walter made a raid into Yorkshire, in England, in 1322, with Sir James Douglas, that nearly resulted in the capture of King Edward II of England.

  Notes for Marjory Of Bruce:
Daughter of King Robert the Bruce.
At the age of twelve, Marjorie, along with her stepmother Elizabeth, Mary (Bruce) Campbell, Christian Bruce and the Countess of Buchan were captured by the English in 1306. Marjorie was put into a cage of wood and housed in the Tower of London. Orders were given that she was not to converse with anyone but the constable of the Tower. Later, the sentence was revoked by King Edward I and Marjorie was sent to a nunnery at Walton. She was released along with Christian Bruce and her stepmother the Queen in 1314. On 2 March 1316, Princess Marjorie, who was pregnant and expecting birth in the spring, was thrown from her horse and killed. Conscious of the royal succession, the surgeons cut open her abdomen and delivered a son from her dead body. That baby, crippled for life from the injury of his birth, would, fifty-four years later, become Robert II, King of Scots, the first of the royal line of Stewarts.
