Notes for Edward Of Bruce: Edward was a staunch supporter and lieutenant of his brother Robert during the many years the Scottish fought for independence from England. Edward had the Earldom of Carrick conferred on him by his brother the King of Scotland. Edward was crowned the King of Ireland 2 May 1316 and was killed at the Battle of Dundalk 14 Oct 1318. Before the battle, Edward had given his royal coat of armor to Gib Harper, a warrior from his estate. The English, searching among the dead for Edward Bruce, found the body of Gib Harper. Since it had the royal armor on it, the English thought it was that of Edward Bruce. The body was quartered for public display throughout Ireland. The head was cut off and salted in a bucket and presented, in due course, to King Edward II of England. (Source: Billy Polk) |

Notes for Thomas Of Bruce: Thomas and his brother Alexander were part of the forces of Robert Bruce under the command of Sir Reginald Crawfurd and Malcolm McQuillan, an Irish chieftain, who landed at Loch Ryan on 9 Feb 1307. Their mission was to drive inland and threaten the English lines of communication between Carlisle and Ayr. They were ambused by the MacDowalls of Galloway (who were allied with King Edward I) as they beached their boats upon the shore. Some were killed in the nearby woods, some on the shore, and many were drowned. All the rest, except for two galleys that were still at sea and thus escaped, were captured. Thomas and Alexander Bruce and Sir Reginald Crawford were taken alive to Carlisle, England, and by the order of King Edward, hanged and beheaded. Their heads were placed on spikes above the gates of the town. (Source: Billy Polk) |

Notes for Nigel Of Bruce: Nigel Bruce was known to his contemporaries as a "young knight of exceeding beauty." He fought beside his brother Robert Bruce for the independence of Scotland until he was captured at Kildrummy castle in northwestern Scotland. The castle was one of the most formidable in Scotland, well provisioned and manned and capable in oridnary circumstances of withstanding a long siege. Day after day, Nigel Bruce and his men beat off every attack of the English forces with such losses that the enemy considered abandoning the siege. However, the treachery of the blacksmith of the castle led to the loss of the battle. Bribed by the promise of gold, Osborne the blacksmith threw a red-hot plow point into the store of corn. The flames spread rapidly, burning the castle gate and allowing the English to enter. Attacked from all sides, the garrison surrendered. The English fulfilled their bargain with the blacksmith by allowing him all the gold he could carry, then melting it and pouring it down his throat. Nigel and all the other prisoners were made to pay dearly for joining Robert Bruce against Edward I. They were dragged through the streets of Berwick and hanged and then beheaded.
