  • Isabella of Mar was the first wife of Robert Bruce. She was the daughter of Domhnall I, Earl of Mar and a woman named Helen (or Ellen) (1246-1295) who had previously been the wife of Maol Choluim II, Earl of Fife. Isabella was a wealthy young woman at the time of her arranged marriage to the Earl of Carrick, Robert Bruce. Her father was one of the seven guardians of Scotland who believed Robert Bruce to be the rightful King of Scotland. Despite the risks, he could see the advantage of the two families joining in marriage and bearing an heir to the throne. Mar was the first to sign over the estates of his family to the Bruce. Isabella was married to Robert at the age of 18 and legend has it that they were much in love. Shortly after their marriage Isabella became pregnant. She had a healthy pregnancy but she died soon after giving birth to a daughter, Marjorie Bruce in 1296. Robert married his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh, six years later. Isabella's daughter Princess Marjorie (d. 1316) married Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, and their son became Robert II of Scotland. From him descend the monarchs of the House of Stewart and the later royal families of the United Kingdom
  • Isabella von Mar war die erste Ehefrau des schottischen Königs Robert I. (Robert the Bruce). Sie war die Tochter von Donald, dem 6. Earl von Mar und einer Frau namens Ellen, die zuvor die Frau von Malcolm Macduff, dem 7. Earl of Fife, gewesen war. Isabella sprach sowohl Gälisch wie auch Englisch. Ihre Ländereien lagen zum größten Teil nordöstlich von Inverness. Zum Zeitpunkt ihrer arrangierten Hochzeit mit Robert Bruce, dem damaligen Earl of Carrick, war Isabella eine wohlhabende junge Frau. Ihr Vater war der erste, der den Anspruch ihres Ehemannes auf den schottischen Thron unterstützte. Kurz nach der Heirat wurde die 18-Jährige schwanger. Die Schwangerschaft verlief ohne Schwierigkeiten, doch kurz nach der Geburt ihres Kindes verstarb sie an den Folgen des notwendig gewesenen Kaiserschnittes. Sechs Jahre später heiratete Robert seine zweite Ehefrau, Elizabeth de Burgh. Isabellas Tochter, Prinzessin Marjorie Bruce († 1316) heiratete Walter Stewart, den Truchsessen von Schottland. Deren Sohn bestieg als Robert II. den schottischen Thron. Von ihm stammen die Monarchen des Hauses Stuart ab sowie indirekt die weiteren Königsdynastien von Schottland und England.
  • Isabella av Mar var Robert Bruces første kone. Isabella var datter av Donald, 6. jarl av Mar og en kvinne ved navn Ellen, som tidligere hadde vært gift med Malcolm Macduff, 7. jarl av Fife. Muligens Malcolms andre kone. Isabella var utdannet, snakket både gælisk og engelsk, og sannsynligvis også fransk. Hennes landområder lå stort sett nordøst for Inverness. Isabella var en rik ung kvinne på den tiden hvor det arrangerte giftemålet med jarlen av Carrick, Robert Bruce, fant sted. Hennes far var en av de syv Vokterne av Skottland som mente at Robert Bruce var den riktige kongen av Skottland. Til tross for risikoen, kunne han se fordelene av at de to familiene ble forent via ekteskap og frambrakte en arving til tronen. Mar var den første til overføre sin families eiendommer til Bruce. Isabella ble gift med Robert Bruce da hun var 18 år gammel. Mytene mener at de var svært forelsket i hverandre. Kort tid etter bryllupet ble hun gravid. Svangerskapet var uten helsemessige problemer, men hun døde likevel kort tid etter å ha født en datter, Marjorie Bruce i 1296. Seks år senere giftet Robert Bruce seg på nytt med Elizabeth de Burgh. Isabellas datter, prinsesse Marjorie (død 1316) ble gift med Walter, High Steward av Skottland, og deres sønn ble kong Robert II av Skottland. Fra ham stammer monarkene av Huset Stuart og den senere kongelige familie av Skottland og England.
