Domhnall I, Earl of Mar
Domhnall I Earl of Mar-
Domhnall mac Uilleim( Anglicized: Donald, William's son)- was the seventh known Mormaer of Mar, or Earl of Mar ruling from the death of his father, Uilleam of Mar, in 1276 until his own death somewhere between 1297 and 1302.
Excluding Gille Christ he is counted as sixth Mormaer or Earl of Mar.
In 1284 he joined with other Scottish noblemen who acknowledged Margaret of Norway as the heir to King Alexander.
Domhnall was later a strong supporter of the Bruce cause during the crisis of the late 13th century.
He was at Norham in 1292, probably in the camp of Robert de Brus, then Earl of Carrick.
He married to Helen( sometimes called Ellen), possibly the natural daughter of Llywelyn the Great of Wales, who herself had previously been married to Mormaer Maol Choluim II, Earl of Fife.
By Helen, he had three sons, including his successor Gartnait, and two daughters.
His daughter Isabella of Mar was the first wife of Robert I of Scotland and mother of Marjorie Bruce who married Walter, 6th High Steward, the parents of Robert II and the Royal Stewart Kings of Scotland.
The last record of a living Domhnall comes from 1297, and the earliest record of his son Gartnait as Mormaer is from 1305, creating the range of Domhnall's possible year of death to somewhere in between these two points.
However, a document dating to 1302, containing terms of reconciliation between Edward I and Robert, stipulates that Robert should act as warden of Gartnait, implying that Domhnall had just died.
Gartnait, Earl of Mar
Gartnait of Mar, Earl of Mar – Gartnait mac Domhnall, 8th Mormaer( or Earl) of Mar, was a Scottish noble during the first War of Scottish Independence( 1296 – 1328).
His name is sometimes rendered as Gartney or Gratney.
A son of Domhnall I, Earl of Mar, and his wife, Elen ferch Llywelyn, Gartnait of Mar died in about 1305.
Isabella of Mar
Isabella of Mar (fl. c. 1277 – 12 December 1296) was the first wife of Robert Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick.
Isabella died before her husband was crowned (as Robert I) King of Scotland.
She and her husband were the grandparents of Robert II, King of Scotland.
Isabella was the daughter of Domhnall I, Earl of Mar (died 1297×1302) and Elena, daughter of Llywelyn the Great (died 1282).
Isabella's father was evidently an adherent of Robert Bruce V, Lord of Annandale (died 1295), a man who staked a claim to the Scottish throne.
The close relationship between the Domhnall's family and the Bruces is evidenced by two marriages.
One was that between Isabella and Robert Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick (died 1329), a grandson of Robert Bruce V. Domhnall's son and comital successor, Gartnait (died c.1302), married a sister of Robert Bruce VII.
The marriage of Robert Bruce VII and Isabella probably took place in the 1290s.
The union produced a single child, a daughter named Marjorie (died 1316), who was born in about 1296.
Six years after Isabella's death, Robert Bruce VII married his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh (died 1327).
Robert and Isabella's daughter, Marjorie, married Walter Stewart, Steward of Scotland, and their son eventually reigned as Robert II, King of Scotland (died 1390).
Robert the Bruce
Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: '; modern Scottish Gaelic: '; Norman French: ' or '; Early Scots: "Robert Brus"), was King of Scotland from 1306 until his death in 1329.
Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation, and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England.
He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is today revered in Scotland as a national hero.
His paternal fourth great-grandfather was
King David I. Robert's grandfather, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, was one of the claimants to the Scottish throne during the "Great Cause".
As Earl of Carrick, Robert the Bruce supported his family's claim to the Scottish throne and took part in William Wallace's revolt against Edward I of England.
Appointed in 1298 as a Guardian of Scotland alongside his chief rival for the throne, John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, and William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, Robert later resigned in 1300 due to his quarrels with Comyn and the apparently imminent restoration of John Balliol to the Scottish throne.
After submitting to Edward I in 1302 and returning to "the king's peace", Robert inherited his family's claim to the Scottish throne upon his father's death.
In February 1306, Bruce, having wounded Comyn, rushed from the church where they had met and encountered his attendants outside.
He told them what had happened and said, "I must be off, for I doubt I have slain the Red Comyn.
Doubt?"
, Roger de Kirkpatrick of Closeburn answered.
"I mak sikker,I'll make sure," or "I make sure").
Kirkpatrick then rushed into the church and killed Comyn.
For this, Bruce was then excommunicated by the Pope (although he received absolution from Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow).
Bruce moved quickly to seize the throne, and was crowned king of Scots on 25 March 1306.
Edward I's forces defeated Robert in battle, forcing him to flee into hiding before re-emerging in 1307 to defeat an English army at Loudoun Hill and wage a highly successful guerrilla war against the English.
Bruce defeated his other Scots enemies, destroying their strongholds and devastating their lands, and in 1309 held his first parliament.
A series of military victories between 1310 and 1314 won him control of much of Scotland, and at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Robert defeated a much larger English army under Edward II of England, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom.
The battle marked a significant turning point, with Robert's armies now free to launch devastating raids throughout northern England, while also extending his war against the English to Ireland by sending an army to invade there and by appealing to the Irish to rise against Edward II's rule.
Despite Bannockburn and the capture of the final English stronghold at Berwick in 1318, Edward II refused to renounce his claim to the overlordship of Scotland.
In 1320, the Scottish nobility submitted the Declaration of Arbroath to Pope John XXII, declaring Robert as their rightful monarch and asserting Scotland's status as an independent kingdom.
In 1324, the Pope recognised Robert I as king of an independent Scotland, and in 1326, the Franco-Scottish alliance was renewed in the Treaty of Corbeil.
In 1327, the English deposed Edward II in favour of his son, Edward III, and peace was concluded between Scotland and England with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328, by which Edward III renounced all claims to sovereignty over Scotland.
Robert died in June 1329.
His body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey, while his heart was interred in Melrose Abbey and his internal organs embalmed and placed in St Serf's Chapel, Dumbarton, site of the medieval Cardross Parish church.
