1st Baron of Clackmannan
Sir Thomas Bruce, 1st Baron of Clackmannan married Marjorie Charteris of Stenhouse. And it is from this line which most Bruces descend.
Received the lands of Clackmannan from his cousin King Robert II as a reward for which he was granted for organising a rising against English rule in 1334. He died in 1358/9.
King David II of Scotland, near the end of his life, appears to have regarded Thomas as the next most senior member of the Bruce family.
