| | Robert I of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His youth is said by an English chronicler to have been mostly passed at the court of Edward I. | | | As Bruce ran anxiously from the church, his attendant entered and, finding Comyn still alive, killed him (as Robert I, he was later excommunicated by Pope Clement V for this act). | | | Homage was again paid to him by the nobles, and a parliament was held to elect those who would meet later in the year with the English parliament to establish rules for the governance of Scotland. |

| | Scotland's Past - robert I 1315 - 1319 |
| | Robert did not attack Man but did ensure the loyalty of the chiefs in Argyll and the Western Isles, it would be 1317 before Robert could drive John out of Man. While he was in Argyll Robert founded a new sheriffdom with its seat at Tarbert. | | | Robert then wrote a letter to Edward calling for negotiations, and this time Edward was in no position to refuse as Douglas and Randolph were still raiding the north of England. | | | While Robert was out of the country the English had attempted two small scale invasions, one at Lintalee near Jedburgh where James Douglas defeated the Earl of Arundel's knights, and a larger invasion in Fife where William Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, defeated English raiders who had arrived by sea. |

| | Robert's first marriage took place after the birth of several of his sons, but their succession to the throne was legitimized by an act of Parliament in 1373. | | | Robert rebelled against his uncle in 1363 when David recognized Edward III as his successor. | | | On David's death (1371), however, he succeeded peacefully to the throne, in accordance with the succession law adopted in 1318. |

| | The colleagues soon quarrelled; then Randolph fell into the hands of the English and Robert became sole regent, meeting with such success in his efforts to restore the royal authority that the king was able to return to Scotland in 1341. | | | Robert had married her in 1336, but as the marriage had been criticised as uncanonical, he remarried her in 1349. | | | The confusion about the circumstances of his first marriage would later lead to conflict amongst the descendants of his first marriage (which included James I of Scotland) and the unquestionably legitimate descendants of his second marriage. |

| | His movements are unknown after that until his return to Scotland in February 1307. | | | He sent his family to Kildrummy Castle in Aberdeenshire for safety, but by September, his wife and daughter were in prison, his brother Neil had been hung and beheaded, and his sister Mary and Countess Isabella put in cages. | | | So Robert the Bruce, after the death of his father in 1304, found himself in competition for the Scottish throne with the Comyn/Balliol family. |
