Under the "Imprisonment" segment, it's unclear to me when this took place (at first reading I thought that the 12-year-old Elizabeth was RTB's daughter)- could that be cleaned up a little? - Puffy jacket 08:48, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

As you can see from the new entry about her, she was a prisoner from about August 1306, when she was captured in northern Scotland (Tain, in Ross-shire) until November 1314, when she was exchanged for the Earl of Hereford, who had been captured at Bannockburn. The negotiations over the prisoner exchange took some months, but the Scots got back all their prisoners still held in England. Elizabeth de Burgh was about 19 when she married Bruce in 1302 as his second wife. He had a daughter, Marjory, by his first marriage, who was captured at the same time as Elizabeth, and was about 12 when they began their 8-year long imprisonment. Proud Angle. Proud Angle
