• Notes

  "[H]eir apparent to the Scottish throne for almost half a century (1318-24 and 1329-71), he reigned himself for nineteen years, led the defense against the English during King David II's exile and imprisonment, his active life was behind him when he ascended the throne, and during his last years the kingdom was administered by his sons."
