Isabel married Eric II MAGNUSSON King of Norway between September 1292 and September 1293.1 2 (Eric II MAGNUSSON King of Norway was born about 1270.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Margaret .... married, August 1281, to Eric Magnusson, King of Norway, who married, secondly, in 1293, Isabel Bruce, sister of King Robert I."

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




"Isobel. She is generally said to have married Sir Thomas Randolph of Strathdon, Great Chamberlain to Alexander III., and to have been the mother by him of King Robert's faithful lieutenant Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, but against that statement there are the following facts : if King Robert (according to Lord Hailes) was born in 1274, and was eldest of his family, it is most improbable that Sir Thomas Randolph, who was a knight in 1306, could be the son of a woman born later, or even a year or two earlier than King Robert. But Isobel was certainly married to Eric, King of Norway, as his second wife; for on 20 September 1292 Robert de Brus, Earl of Carrick, with his daughter Isabella, had a safe-conduct to go to Norway, and it was doubtless during his visit that the marriage was arranged."

" ..... so that she must have been married to the King, Eric I. (whose first wife was the Princess Margaret of Scotland), between September 1292 and September 1293. Supposing Isobel to have been born about 1275, she would at this time have been only eighteen or nineteen years of age, and therefore unlikely to have been previously married. There is no foundation for the alleged second and third marriages of Isobel to an Earl of Atholl and an Alexander Bruce."
