Who is your favorite historical figure?
Why?
Because I am a Bruce, Daniel Robert Bruce.
When I first found out that I was related to the Famous Scottish King Robert the Bruce I was very young.
My grandmother told me that he was a mean King and that they cut off his head.
After doing some of my own research I learned more about Robert the Bruce.
Then Braveheart came out and ruined it all over again, it made Robert the Bruce look like a coward and a traitor.
I took a deeper dive into Robert the Bruce and found out that he was not the “Mean King” or a coward and traitor.
I found out that he embodied the Bruce family motto, Fuimus.
Roughly translated from Latin to English, We have Endured…
Robert the Bruce fought against impossible odds personally for his people.
He was also defiant, smart and most important of all, he never gave up.
I am a Bruce and I am Proud to say that I am because of Robert the Bruce.
On a side note I have weird dreams about where the Holy Grail is located.
But anyway Robert the Bruce is my favorite Historical Character because I am related to him and I feel inspired by him.
No matter how modern media discredits him.
