 Of all the names which grace the pages of Scottish history, it is that of Bruce which shines with the most radiant hue. The great Clan Bruce is forever connected with their most illustrious forefather, King Robert the Bruce, champion of Scotland's struggle for independence, a man revered for centuries in the hearts of Scottish patriots. The Bruces originate from a powerful French family, who arrived in Britain with the Norman invasion of 1066. The first Robert de Brus, from whom the Clan descend, was a warrior noble who supported William I in his conquest of England.
The Bruces' claim to the throne emerged through the 4th Lord of Annandale's marriage to King William the Lyon's niece in the 13th Century. When the 5th Lord's claim was overturned in favour of the puppet king John Balliol, the power of the Scottish Crown was ceded to the infamous Edward I, King of England. The 7th Lord of Annandale and 2nd Lord of Carrick, Robert the Bruce, initially stood by King Edward, but revoked his loyalty upon the English monarch's cruel torture and execution of the patriot William Wallace. In 1306, Robert had himself crowned King, much to the chagrin of the English sovereign
Bruce's leadership proved to be brilliant, and the flower of Scottish independence flourished under his control. In 1314, King Robert the Bruce achieved the crowning glory of the independence movement at the Battle of Bannockburn. Here the Scots defeated a larger English army and ensured that Scotland would be ruled by Scots, free from the shackles of any overlord.
The Bruce Clan crest is of a lion, and the proud motto reads "Fuimus" meaning, in Latin "We have been".
This clan is looking for members not necessarily associated with possibly the most famous and most recognized name in scottish history, but are here to improve their kingdoms through the help of the others in this clan. When battle is necessary we shall ride out and meet the enemy upon our borders and succesful or not we will not back down from any fight, no matter what the outcome. We shall strive to form the most powerful clan throughout the land through building research, and battle (if necessary) to keep the crown of MK on the head of one of our members. If interested please feel free to email me and I will consider your kingdom to join |
