		<description><![CDATA[While sources disagree on the numbers and names of Bruce&#8217;s younger sisters, there is widespread agreement on his brothers.  Only one leaves out Alexander, the youngest.  Nobody could argue that Bruce&#8217;s sisters had easy lives.  Much less so he and his brothers.  Of the five, Bruce, Neil, Edward, Thomas, and Alexander, only Bruce died peacefully, though [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do the Davids of history fight the ever-present Goliaths?  Sometimes, a well-aimed stone and a bit of luck (or God&#8217;s help) does the job.  In the case of Robert the Bruce and the small country of Scotland, standing up to the might of England, with a much larger population, bigger horses, better-equipped knights, stones might not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some background information on this article, it is important to know that Bruce lived from 1274 until 1329,  200 years before Martin Luther&#8217;s 95 Theses and before Henry VIII made his split from the Catholic Church.  In other words, in his day to be Christian was to be Catholic.

		<description><![CDATA[Angus Og, Lord of the Isles&#8211; a strong and romantic moniker, evoking fascinating images even before you know anything about him; a name you can really sink your teeth into. The irony is that Og actually means young.  So this great man was really running around being called Junior.  Hey, Junior, could you go slaughter [...]]]></description>
