Famous Scottish women

[MartinB]

Elizabeth de Burgh

I know she was Irish, but she was Queen of Scotland married to Robert the Bruce. I've been reading Nigel Tranter's Bruce Trilogy (excellent)- she is portrayed as a courageous , fiesty lady and a great encouragement to Bruce. She had tremendous willpower and spurred Bruce on when he wanted to give up. I don't know how much was fact or fiction in the book but I liked the character.
