"King David, in turn, presented the sapphire to his sister, Marjorie Bruce": curious, given that he was born in 1324 and she had died in 1316. I have referred to Mitchison's "History of Scotland", among other sources. Doubtless your own other pages confirm my point. 18:11, 29 December 2013 (UTC)18:11, 29 December 2013 (UTC)18:11, 29 December 2013 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smlark (talk • contribs)
