Robert the Bruce reigned from 1306 and until his death in 1329. He was crowned as the king after inheriting the right to the throne from his dad, and after killing Cromyn, his greatest opponent. He was known as a warrior and led Scotland in its first War of independence, where his troops won several fights against the English. Robert the Bruce's fighting led to the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328, where Scotland gained independence.
Robert the Bruce is remembered as a national hero in Scotland today. He supported William Wallace in his fights against England, and he is therefore portrayed in the movie Braveheart.
