About Elizabeth de Bruce

Date of marriage might be circa 1339.

From an unidentified source: "Walter Oliphant, who, with his spouse, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert the Bruce, has a charter of the lands of Gask in 1364, and in the same year of the lands of Pitkiery. (1)"

comments

From an unidentified source: "The statement of some moderns that <this> Elizabeth was a natural daughter of King Robert is an inference from the silence of the chroniclers, and from that only. The records prove nothing on this point. [7]"
