Another query regarding the House of Bruce. Robert I had four brothers, Nial, Edward, Thomas and Alexander. Nial was killed following his defiance of the English at Kildrummy castle in 1306, whilst Thomas and Alexander were killed fighting at Loch Ryan also in 1306, Edward survived and later died in 1318 in Ireland. My question is this, what consequences could there have been if one more of Nial, Thomas or Alexander, or even all three of them had survived throughout the war of independence and had married and had issue?
