late Posted November 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 11, 2018 I heard of this thing called the google machine. Robert was a Brus, near as I can tell that's just his last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted November 11, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2018 I looked it up once. Translation is “from the brush” or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted November 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2018 ...it was to distinguish him from Robert the Duck, another Scottish popular hero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted November 11, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 11, 2018 I suspect that calling him 'the Bruce' also meant that he was the head of the clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted November 11, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 11, 2018 Robert was from the Scottish clan "Bruce." It's sort of a last name. It would be like saying Donald the Trump or Mila the Kunis or Joe the on-the-way-out Flacco. A quick Google turns up: "(Scottish Gaelic: Brùs) is a Scottish clan from Kincardine in Scotland. It was a royal house in the 14th century, producing two kings of Scotland and a disputed High King of Ireland, Edward Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
