Robert the Bruce
Robert the Bruce was a stalwart during his time and will be remembered – especially in Scottish history. About 200 years ago, a cast made from Brice’s skull was discovered after the place he was buried was being remodeled. Since the discovery, historical enthusiasts had embarked on a mission to truly show what the brave figure looked like.
Robert The Bruce
He lived during the time of King Edward I, who made a declaration that Scotland should be a part of England instead of a kingdom on its own. However, Bruce had issues with the declaration, and in 1314, he defeated an English army at Bannockburn in a bid to preserve Scotland’s autonomy.
His True Features
The leader for the restoration project, Dr. Martin Macgregor, a professor at the University of Glasgow, noted that the brave act of Bruce is the reason Scotland is still in existence today. The discovered cast was the emblem from which the team designed the figure that depicts what he looked like.
His True Features
There are currently two figures of Robert the Bruce, one with a seamless feature and another depicting his skin being affected by leprosy, which is believed to be the cause of his death.
