APPENDIX N (p. 299).
GENEALOGY of MARIE DE HORNE, Princess of Salm, and ELIZABETH DE
HORNE, Princess of Stolberg, as descended from the Bruces, Earls of Ayles-
bury in England ; Elgin, and Lords Bruce, etc., of the Kingdom of Scotland.
I. Sir Robert Bruce of Clackmannan had large possessions in lands holden
of the Crown, was a free baron, and his armorial bearing was or, a saltier, and
chief gules, which hath continued to be the arms of the family ever since, and is
same carried by the Bruces, lords of Annandale, which denotes their descent
from that illustrious house.
He got a charter, under the Great Seal, from King David Bruce, — " Dilecto
consanguines suo ' Roberto de Bruce,' " — of the castle, manor, and barony of
Clackmannan, with a great many other lands in the same county. The
charter, which is still preserved in the archives of the family, is dated 9th De-
cember 1359. He got other two charters, under the Great Seal, from the same
King David, of several other lands in the counties of Clackmannan and Perth ;
the first is dated in the year 1365, and the other in 1368, in both which he is
designated the King's beloved cousin, which sufficiently proves his connection
with the royal family. The charters are recorded in the public archives of the
nation, No. 95 and No. 190 of King David's Book.
This Sir Robert married Isabella, daughter of Sir Robert Stewart, ancestor
of the Stewarts of Rosyth, who were free barons, and a considerable branch of
the illustrious house of Stewart, which is instructed by the ' History of the
Royal Family,' page 188, etc. By her he had five sons and one daughter. But
we shall here mention only his oldest son, Sir Robert, who carried on the line
of the family.
II. Sir Robert Bruce, second Baron of Clackmannan, got a charter under the
Great Seal from King Robert II. of several lands and baronies, too numerous
to be here inserted ; which charter is still preserved among the archives of the
house of Clackmannan, and is dated 12th August 1393.
He married a daughter of Sir John Scrymgeour of Dudhope, a most ancient
and noble family. This Sir John was ancestor of the Earl and Viscounts of
Dundee, who were heritable standard-bearers to the kings of Scotland, which
is attested by all our historians.
Sir Robert died anno 1405, leaving issue by his said lady, a son.
III. Sir David Bruce, third Baron of Clackmannan, who succeeded him, and
