The Countess m, the next year 1271, at her castle of Turnberry, Robert de Bruce, who thus became jure uxoris Earl of Carrick. For this marriage, which was without the Royal consent, she had to pay a heavy fine. Her husband was son and heir of Robert de Bruce, of Annandale (one of the Competitors for the Crown of Scotland), by his 1st wife, Isabel, daughter of Gilbert (de Clare), Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. In 1278 he swore fealty, as proxy for Alexander III, for the Kingdom of Scotland, to Edward I, to which King, on 13 June 1291, he also swore fealty. He was summoned to be at Shrewsbury for the trial of David ap Griffith, 28 June 1283 (11 Edward I), by writ directed Roberto de Brus Comiti de Carrik, his name appearing as 11th and last of the earls who were then summoned. His wife, the Countess, having previously died, he, on 27 Oct 1292, resigned the Earldom of Carrick to his 1st son, though he appears still to have been styled Earl thereof.

On 24 June 1295 (23 Edward I), he was summoned to Parliament (England) by writ directed Roberto de Brus, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Bruce.

To that King he again swore fealty 28 Aug 1296 at Berwick. He m. 2ndly, Eleanor. He resided latterly in England, and died there or in Palestine, 1304, before 14 June, and was buried at Holmcultram.
