    "In 1348, Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam of Rowallan and
    Janet, heiress of Polkelly, married Robert Stewart, son of WalterfitzAlan, high steward of Scotland. Robert Stewart's mother was Margery,daughter of Robert the Bruce. When Robert the Bruce's son, David, diedwithout issue, Robert Stewart became king of Scotland, as Robert II. Ishould also note that when Robert Stewart and Elizabeth Mure married thatthey had to obtain a dispensation from the Pope as "the parties were inthe fourth degree of consanguinity." I don't profess to know what thismeans as to proximity of relationship, but it would appear to have beenclose.
    > Elizabeth Mure had siblings, Adam Jr., heir of Rowallan, Andrew, andAlexander. In 1417 there is a document that gives "to a noblemanAlexander Mure" various lands, but the important part is that the subnotedescribes them as "comprehended in the barony of STRATHAVEN, LANARKSHIRE.This grant was given Alexander Mure by an Earl Douglas, husband of RobertIII's daughter, Margaret"

    The Ancestry of Robert the Bruce To summarise
    http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-03/bruce-05.html

    "Could Robert de Bruges, as a younger son of the powerful Count of Louvain, have accepted the post of Castellan from the Count of Flanders?Most certainly, yes! The Count of Flanders was then, de facto, probably the most powerful sovereign in northwest Europe. Bruges was strategically of huge importance. It would be a very attractive offer, especially to a landless younger son, and it could be expected to lead on to further opportunities (such as the offer to accompany the Count's daughter toNormandy, when she left to marry Duke William, the eventual Conqueror of England, an offer that would entail a grant of land in the Cotentin"
