Notes |
- King David II was crowned at Scone on 24 Nov 1331 when he was only 8
years old. He was the Earl of Carrick before he succeeded to the
throne. He was four and Joan was six when they were married. David
had no children by either of his wives. His reign was rather
unremarkable. With him and his cousin, Sir John Bruce, of Exton
(descendant of Bernard Bruce, brother of Robert Bruce), the royal male
line of Bruce ended. The line continued to be represented, however,
through the Stuart Kings of Scotland, the Earls of Sutherland, the
Stewarts of Rossythe, and through (the junior branch) the Haringtons
of Exton.
