Elizabeth de Burgh Royalty

Elizabeth de Burgh (c. 1284 – 27 October 1327) was the second wife and the only queen consort of King Robert I of Scotland (also known as Robert the Bruce), not to be confused with her kinswoman Elizabeth de Clare who was also known as Elizabeth de Burgh. Elizabeth was born sometime around 1284, probably in Down or Antrim in Ireland.She was the daughter of one of the most powerful Irish nobles of the period, Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, who was a close friend and ally of Edward I of England. Not much is known about Elizabeth, despite her husband's status as one of the most famous Scottish kings and warriors. As is the case with most medieval women, records of Elizabeth are scarce, however it is clear that she was caught up in the political turmoil that unfolded between the Scottish and the English during the reign of her husband King Robert, having to move several times to keep safe and eventually being seized as a prisoner.
