House of Bruce

The House of Bruce was represented by Robert the Bruce (Robert I), who reigned from 1306 to 1329, and his son, David II, who reigned from 1329 to 1371. Originating from Robert the Bruce's leadership during the Wars of Scottish Independence, the house is celebrated for pivotal moments like the victory at the Battle of Bannockburn and the endorsement of the Declaration of Arbroath. Although the direct Bruce lineage ended with David II, the legacy of the House of Bruce is foundational in Scottish history, symbolizing the nation's struggle for autonomy and its enduring spirit of resilience.
