He took part in the Battle of Largs, in Ayrshire, October 3, 1263, between the Scots and King Haco (or Hacon) of Norway, for possession of western Scotland and the Islands. The result was a complete victory for the Scots. The word Goldberry was placed on his Arms in commemoration of his services in this battle in the vicinity of Goldberry Hill, near Keppenburn.

Generation: 3

    Notes:

    In the 1995 film Braveheart, Robert the Bruce is incorrectly shown as taking the field at Falkirk as part of the English army; he never betrayed William Wallace (despite having changed sides). Wallace is also alleged to have been a complete supporter of Robert the Bruce, but Wallace was a supporter of the Balliol claim to the throne which Bruce consistently opposed.


    Name:
    Due to a poor source for the ancestors of Robert the Bruce, the surname Boyd/Boyt may not apply at all. When this entire lineage is revised, several generations may need to be deleted, or set as a different line of Roberts.

    Buried:
    Robert's body is buried at Dunfermline Abbey
