His wife and many of his supporters were captured, and three of his brothers executed. King Robert was twice defeated in 1306, at Methven, near Perth, on June 19, and at Dalry, near Tyndrum, Perthshire, on August 11. Edward I, whose garrisons held many of the important castles in Scotland, regarded him as a traitor and made every effort to crush a movement that he treated as a rebellion. The new king’s position was very difficult. He hastened to Scone and was crowned on March 25. Comyn, a nephew of John de Balliol, was a possible rival for the crown, and Bruce’s actions suggest that he had already decided to seize the throne. The decisive event was the murder of John (“the Red”) Comyn in the Franciscan church at Dumfries on February 10, 1306, either by Bruce or his followers. There is nothing at this period to suggest that he was soon to become the Scottish leader in a war of independence against Edward’s attempt to govern Scotland directly. In the confused period of rebellions against English rule from 1295 to 1304 he appears at one time among the leading supporters of the rebel William Wallace, but later apparently regained Edward I’s confidence. His father, the seventh Robert de Bruce (died 1304), resigned the title of earl of Carrick in his favour in 1292, but little else is known of his career until 1306. The eighth Robert de Bruce was born in 1274. Find out who really invented movable type, who Winston Churchill called "Mum," and when the first sonic boom was heard.
