The Death and Burial of Robert the Bruce- Dunfermline Abbey, Scotland

Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, died just one month before of his 55th birthday on June 7, 1329. It was Robert the Bruce's wish that when he died his body be buried at Dunfermline Abbey, he also asked that his heart be taken on crusade by his old friend and chief commander James Douglas to the Holy Land and finally buried in Melrose Abbey, and that his organs be buried in the Chapel of St Serf. Dunfermline Abbey had been the burial site for the kings and queens of Scotland since the late 11th century. On his tomb in Latin was written "Here lies the invincible blessed King Robert / Whoever reads about his feats will repeat the many battles he fought / By his integrity he guided to liberty the Kingdom of the Scots: May he now live in Heaven." But that grand and glorious tomb for the king so reverently laid to rest is no more. During the Scottish reformation in 1560 the Royal tombs were destroyed and The abbey was badly damaged. In 1818, almost 489 years after Robert the Bruce's death, they found a body while clearing rubble in the east of the Abbey near the high altar.
