seacht An Meitheamh, De' Luan ( 7 June, Monday), or in Cornish seyth Metheven, De Lun In 1329 Robert the Bruce of Scotland died. Robert thought himself to be a leper. He thought the finger of God was upon him for his murder of Red Comyn. This dread was kept a secret, because under Church rules of the tome one could be proclaimed dead and one's wife could remarry, nor could he have held public office. However, it is probable that he merely had dermatitus. He was 55 year old when he died at Cardross with his trusted friends around him. Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, was appointed to look after Dacid , Bruce's 5 yeaold son. He entrusted to Angus Og, the Lord of the lsles with the true Stone of Destiny and keep inthe Hebrides until it was safe to return it to Scone. He ordered the Good Sit James Douglas the cut the heart out of his bidy when he died and to take in on crusades against the Infidel. Bruce had vowed to God that if zgod gave him his kingdom he would go on a crusade. These facts are taken from The Story of Scotland by Nigel Tranter. Pronouncing guide:
