So he was Robert, a member of Clan Bruce, which became the Bruce. The clan eventually adopted the surname Bruce, but if modern naming conventions where in place back then, he probably would've been Robert DeBrus. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:944637415] in Why was he...
