Isabel Bruce

Her parents were Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale and Marjorie, Countess of Carrick.

Her dowry for the marriage was recorded at the time by Norwegian nobleman Audun Hugleiksson who noted she brought: precious clothes, 2 golden boiler, 24 silver plate, 4 silver salt cellars and 12 two-handled soup bowls (scyphus) to the marriage.

Upon the death of King Alexander three years later, his granddaughter, Eric's daughter Margaret, Maid of Norway became heir to the throne of Scotland.

The death of Queen Margaret left Scotland without a monarch, and at the mercy of Edward I of England.

She had a good relationship with the clerical powers in Bergen, made donations and in 1324, received several houses from the church.

It has been suggested, that she participated as a mediator in the negotiations between Norway and Scotland regarding Orkney and Shetland during 1312 under which the Treaty of Perth was reaffirmed.
