Robert Bruce did not directly defeat Edward II in a single battle, but he was instrumental in the broader conflict known as the Wars of Scottish Independence. Notably, Bruce's forces achieved a significant victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in June 1314, which was a turning point in the struggle against English rule. Edward II was leading the English army during this battle but was ultimately forced to retreat, solidifying Bruce's position as a key figure in Scottish history.
Robert the Bruce had several children, but the most notable among them were his daughter, Marjorie Bruce, and his son, David II of Scotland. Marjorie married Walter Stewart, and their descendants became the royal line of the Stewarts. David II succeeded his father as King of Scotland after Robert the Bruce's death in 1329.
