Lady Marjory Bruce

(December 1296 - 2 March 1316/17)
     Lady Marjory Bruce was born in December 1296 in Scotland. She was the daughter of Robert, the Bruce, King of Scotland and Lady Isabella Mar.
By the end of June, 1306, Queen Elizabeth, the 10 year old Lady Marjorie, two of the King's sisters and Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan were taken prisoner by the Uilleam II, Earl of Ross, and sent to the Kingdom of England. Queen Elizabeth was sent to a manor house in Yorkshire. Young Marjorie and her aunt Christina Seton were sent to convents, while her aunt Mary and the Countess of Buchan were kept in cages for the first few years of their imprisonment. Christopher Seton, husband of Christina and murderer of Robert Comyn, was executed. Edward I had thought of putting Marjorie in a cage too, but changed his mind. [citation needed] Edward I died on July 7, 1307. He was succeeded by his son Edward II of England who subsequently held her captive in a nunnery for about 8 years. She was finally set free around 1314, possibly in exchange for English noblemen captured after the Battle of Bannockburn (June 23 - June 24, 1314).
Lady Marjory Bruce married Walter Stewart, son of James Stewart 5th High Steward, before 25 April 1315 in Scotland. John Ravillious wrote: This relationship would have then been in the 3rd and 4th degrees of consanguinity, requiring a dispensation. I am not aware of any reference to such a dispensation, for what is one of the most noticed marriages in Scots history. Based on the foregoing, I have indicated in my notes that (A) the marriage of Neil of Carrick and NN le Stewart occurred, but (B) Marjory of Carrick was the daughter of another (likely second) wife of Neil of Carrick.
If anyone has reference to the account for Walter the Stewart in Scots Peerage (probably around I:14 or so), perhaps there's a detail there I'd missed. However, it seems otherwise unlikely that Margaret Stewart was great-grandmother of Marjory Bruce
.
     Marjory died on 2 March 1316/17 in Scotland aged 20. She was thrown from her horse and killed when pregnant. Surgeons cut out the child who was crowned King of Scotland 54 years later, though crippled from the injury of his birth.
