"Robert Bruce (1274-1329) king of Scotland from 1306, as Robert I hero ofthe Scottish War of Independence, born either in Tunberry or in Essex. In 1296, as Earl of Carrick, he swore fealty to Edward I at Berwick, and in 1297 renewed his oath of homage at Carlisle. Shortly after, with his Carrick vassals, he joined the Scottish revolt under William Wallace. He was appointed one of the four guardians of Scotland in 1298, but did not again fight against Edward until the final rising in 1306. His stabbing of John Comyn, the nephew of Baliol and a rival with better claim to the throne, in the church of Minorite Friars at Dumfries (10 February 1306), allowed him to assert his own rights, and two months later he was crowned king at Scone. His career between 1306 and 1314 saw the emergence of a master of guerrilla warfare into a national leader, despite skepticism by some as to his legal status. "
