Turnbull

The Noble Tribe of Turnbull represented here by Lord Mark, Seneschal of Turnbull. The name Turnbull was first used by the descendants of the Boernician people of the Scottish-English border region. It is a name for a man named Rule (sometimes Ruel) who saved King Robert the Bruce at Stirling Park from a charging bull by turning the bull's head. According to tradition, the King rewarded Rule with lands in Bedrule, and instructed him to change his name to Turnbull. This same man, Rule, is said to have served at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, against the English.
