| m. Isabel de Huntingdon (b c1199, d c1251, dau of David, Earl of Huntingdon) | |||||||||||||||
| Isabel was a niece of the Scots Kings Malcolm IV and William 'the Lion'. It was because of this connection that her great-grandson Robert became entitled to claim the throne. | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Sir Robert de Bruce, 'the Competitor', 5th Lord of Annandale (b c1215, d before 03.05.1294) | ||||||||||||||
| m1. (1240) Isabel de Clare (b 1226, d 1254, dau of Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Sir Robert de Bruce, 'Earl of Carrick', 6th Lord of Annandale (b 07.1243, d by 04.04.1304) | ||||||||||||||
| Sir Robert's 1st wife is normally recorded as Marjory, Countess of Carrick. However, as reported on RZmisc02, it seems that the Isobel who married Thomas Randolph was Robert's daughter before his marriage to Marjory. As he was about 28 at the time of that marriage, it is quite possible that he did have an earlier marriage or (perhaps more likely) 'a liaison'. | |||||||||||||||

| m1. Alicia de Clare | |||||||||||||||
| TSP identifies Bernard's 2nd wife as Constance de Morleyn but does not follow his line. The following comes from 'The Herald and Genealogist' (John Gough Nichols, vol VIII, 1874, 'Sir Bernard Bruce of Connington and Exton and his descendants', p336) which, apart from correcting sources such as BE1883, identifies his (only) wife and mother of his children as ... | |||||||||||||||

| (1) | Sir Robert de Bruce (d Dupplin 1332) | ||||||||||||||
| As noted on Bruce03, the ancestry of Thomas, 1st of Clackmannan, is unclear. This is just one of several possibilities. | |||||||||||||||

| g. ?? | Christina (Christian) de Bruce | ||||||||||||||
| Although shown by various web sites, we doubt that this Christina ever existed because: (1) TSP specifically reports that her alleged mother Cristiana, widow of Thomas Lascelles and Adam de Gesemuth, "had no issue by her third husband". (2) She is identified by some of those web sites as being her own great-grandmother, the Christina, widow of William de Bruce of Annandale (above), who married Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, before 1218. |
