Robert Bruce competed for the crown of Scotland in 1291. He had first claimed the Crown under a verbal nomination (by tanistry) to him by Alexander III, if the Maid of Norway failed to have issue.

The marriage of Robert De Bruce and Isabel of Huntingdon produced a son, Robert De Bruce, who because of the marriage could lay claim to the Scottish throne. This couples' descendants became co-heirs of the ancient Scoto-Pietish and Anglo-Saxon kings.
