Early Life

David II was the elder and only surviving son of Robert I of Scotland and his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. He was born on 5 March 1324 at Dunfermline Palace, Fife. His mother died in 1327. In accordance with the Treaty of Northampton's terms, David was married on 17 July 1328 to Joan of the Tower, daughter of Edward II of England and Isabella of France, at Berwick-upon-Tweed. They had no issue.

Reign

David became king of Scotland upon the death of his father on 7 June 1329, aged 5 years, 3 months, and 3 days. David and his Queen were crowned at Scone on 24 November 1331.

During David's minority, Sir Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray was appointed Guardian of Scotland by the Act of Settlement of 1318. After Moray's death, on 20 July 1332, he was replaced by Donald, Earl of Mar, elected by an assembly of the magnates of Scotland at Perth, 2 August 1332. Only ten days later Mar fell at the Battle of Dupplin Moor. Sir Andrew Moray of Bothwell, who was married to Christian, the sister of King Robert I (her third husband), was chosen as the new Guardian. He was taken prisoner by the English at Roxburgh in April 1333 and was thence replaced as Guardian by Sir Archibald Douglas who fell at Halidon Hill that July.

Meanwhile, on 24 September 1332, following the Scots' defeat at Dupplin, Edward Balliol a protégé of Edward III of England, was crowned King of the Scots at Scone by the English and his Scots adherents. By December, however, Balliol was forced to flee to England but returned the following year as part of an invasion force led by the English king. Following the victory of this force at the Battle of Halidon Hill in July 1333, David and his Queen were sent for safety into France, reaching Boulogne on 14 May 1334, and being received very graciously by the French king, Philip VI. Little is known about the life of the Scottish king in France, except that Château-Gaillard was given to him for a residence, and that he was present at the bloodless meeting of the English and French armies in October 1339 at Vironfosse, now known as Buironfosse, in the Arrondissement of Vervins.

Meanwhile David's representatives had once again obtained the upper hand in Scotland, and the king was able to return to his kingdom, landing at Inverbervie in Kincardineshire on 2 June 1341, when he took the reins of government into his own hands.

In 1346 under the terms of the Auld Alliance, he invaded England in the interests of France, but was defeated and taken prisoner by John Coupeland at the Battle of Neville's Cross on 17 October 1346, and remained in England for eleven years, living principally in London, at Odiham Castle in Hampshire and Windsor Castle in Berkshire. His imprisonment was not a rigorous one, and negotiations for his release were soon begun.

Eventually, on 3 October 1357, after several interruptions, a treaty was signed at Berwick-upon-Tweed by which the Scottish estates undertook to pay 100,000 marks as a ransom for their king. This was ratified by parliament at Scone on 6 November 1357.

David returned at once to Scotland; but owing to the poverty of the kingdom it was found impossible to raise the ransom. A few instalments were paid, but the king sought to get rid of the liability by offering to make Edward III, or one of his sons, his successor in Scotland. In 1364 the Scottish parliament indignantly rejected a proposal to make Lionel, Duke of Clarence, the next king; but David negotiated secretly with Edward III over this matter, after he had suppressed a rising of some of his unruly nobles.

He remarried about 20 February 1364, Margaret Drummond, widow of Sir John Logie, Knt., and daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond, Knt. He divorced her about 20 March 1370. They had no issue. Margaret, however, travelled to Avignon and made a successful appeal to the Pope to reverse the sentence of divorce which had been pronounced against her in Scotland. She was still alive in January 1375.

Death

David II died unexpectedly and at the height of his power in Edinburgh Castle on 22 February 1371. He was buried in Holyrood Abbey. At the time of his death, he was planning to marry his mistress, Agnes Dunbar (daughter of Agnes Dunbar, 4th Countess of Moray). He left no children and was succeeded by his nephew, Robert II. He was the last male of the House of Bruce.

David Bruce, king of Scotland, acknowledges Edward III as his feudal lord.In 1346 under the terms of the Auld Alliance, he invaded England in the interests of France, but was defeated and taken prisoner by John Coupeland at the Battle of Neville's Cross on 17 October 1346,[8] and taken to London. He was then transferred to Windsor Castle in Berkshire before he and his household were moved to Odiham Castle in Hampshire. His imprisonment was not a rigorous one, although he remained in England for eleven years.

Father: Robert I Bruce, King of Scotland (1274-1329)

Mother: Lady Elizabeth de Burgh (~1289-1327)

Birth: 5 Mar 1324 Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland

“Anno MCCCXXIII…Anno isto, videlicet, quinto die Martii, die Lunae, in prima ebdomada Quadragesimae, post natus est David, filius regis Roberti et heres Scociae, qui successit patri in regnum, in monasterio de Dunfermlyn post completorium”;1 “David was born in Dunfermline Abbey on 5 March 1324, apparently the elder of twins. His younger brother, John, died, probably in infancy, and was buried at Restennet Priory”.2

Death: 22 Feb 1371 Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

“Anno Domini MCCCLXX, in festo cathedrae sancti Petri obiit David de Bruysse, rex Scociae, in castro de Edinburgh”;1 “On 22 February 1371 David died suddenly at Edinburgh Castle”.2

Burial: Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh

“Et sepultus est in monasterio Sanctae Crucis”;1 “He was buried in Holyrood Abbey”.2

Occupation: King of Scotland 1329-1371

Spouse 1:

Princess Joan ‘of the Tower’ Plantagenet

Marriage: 17 Jul 1328 Berwick-On-Tweed, Northumberland

“Early in July, the queen-mother, accompanied by Mortimer, her son Prince John, her two daughters, Earl Warren, the Bishops of Lincoln, Ely, and Norwich, and attended by a brilliant suite, set forth towards Berwick. Robert Bruce was represented by two commissioners, the Earls of Douglas and Murray, who had charge of the young bridegroom. The ceremony of betrothal was performed on Sunday, July 17th. The dates assigned to the marriage are various. Gisborne’s ‘Chronicle of Edward III’, gives July 12th (Cotton MS. Nero D. ii., fol. 272). Several other writers name St Mary Magdalen’s Day, July 22nd, but four independent, contemporaneous authorities: two French chronicles, written in the time of Edward III (Cotton MSSS., Domitian x., f.85 and Cleop. A. vii., f.84), ‘Chron. Lanercost’, p. 261, and the continuation of Paris, p. 2502, name ‘the Sunday before St Margaret’s Day’, which Sunday fell that year on July 17th. Adam of Murimuth and three other sources all name July 17th”.3

Spouse 2:

Margaret Drummond

Birth: abt 1340

“Born c.1340”.5

Marriage: 20 Feb 1364 Inchmurdach [Kenly Green], Fife, Scotland

“King David II. married, as his second wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond, and widow of Sir John Logie of that Ilk, at Inchmurdach in Fife, before the 6th of December 1363 (Fordun, Annals, 185; Scotichron, ii. 370, bk. xiv. c.28, p. 379, bk xiv c.34; Wyntoun, ii. 506, bk. viii, c.46, Apr. 1363; Book of Pluscarden, bk. ix. c.46; Scalachron., 203; Cal. Doc. Scot., iv., No. 93; Extracta, 190)”;4 “Margaret then married David II of Scotland at Inchmurdoch in Fife, on 20 February 1364”.5 Presumably ‘1364’ should be ‘1363’.

Divorce: 20 Mar 1369 Scotland

“King David II. obtained a divorce from his second wife ‘Margareta de Logy,’ about the 20th of March 1369-70 (Scotichron., ii. 379, bk. xiv. c.34; Wyntoun, ii. 506, bk. viii. c.46, l. 7176; Book of Pluscarden, bk. ix. c.46; Peerage and Consistorial Law, ii. 982-987 [the whole case stated])”.4

Death: 1375

“She survived the king, and was alive on the 31st of January 1374-5, but seems to have died soon after that date (Cal. Doc. Scot., iv., Preface, pp. xv, xvi, p. 44, Nos. 193, 197; p. 401, No. 17; Foedera, iii. 948; Peerage and Consistorial Law, ii. 982-987 [the whole case stated])”.4
