I am named after Robert the Bruce.

Me, too. In fact, as James Robert, I'm named after a number of Scot kings. Family legend has it that there has to be someone named J.R. in every generation. Nobody remembers why, of course.

The family (family, not clan) coat of arms has as motto, I saved the King! UK college of heraldry says that a family member was knighted by The Bruce for rowing him across a river or lake to escape the English some time in the period leading up to Bannockburn.

“I am named after Robert the Bruce.”

Good thing you weren’t named after the Battle of Bannockburn. :)

I am named after Robert the Bruce.

Since the letter is from the 1300's, we all were named after him.
