Hi all, If it's of use to anyone, I can also recommend the following books: Scott, Ronald McNair. (1989). _Robert The Bruce, King of Scots_. New York: Peter Bedrick Books. ISBN: None. Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786703296 McNie, Alan. (1986). _Clan Bruce_. Jedburgh, Scotland: Cascade Publishing. ISBN: 0907614310. I think I bought the Scott book from a Doubleday bookclub years ago, but find it to be an excellent resource. The Amazon.com reference is the 1996 edition. It's mostly a chronological history of his life, with each chapter being a specific period. The McNie book was found in a "Scottish ancestry" shop (the ones that sell you coats of arms, etc) at roughly the same time, though is only 34 pages long and gives a concise history and other information.
