:Governor of Carlisle Castle
:Sheriff of Cumberland 1255, 1265
Robert Bruce, 5th Lord of Annandale (Robert de Brus), was a feudal lord, Justice and Constable of Scotland and England, a Regent of Scotland, and a leading competitor to be King of Scotland in 1290-92 in the Great Cause.[[Wikipedia:Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale]], accessed 14 August 2015.
Robert was son of Robert Bruce, 4th Lord of Annandale and Isobel of Huntingdon, the second daughter of David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon and Matilda de Kevilloc of Chester.
Robert was also Lord of Hartlepool in county Durham and Writtle and Hatfield Broadoak in Essex, England, and through his marriages obtained the village of Ripe, in Sussex, and the Lordship of Ireby in Cumberland. Following the defeat of Simon de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham (1265), Robert was granted the estates of the former rebel barons Walter de Fauconberg and John de Melsa. Henry III also re-appointed Robert a Justice, and Constable of Carlisle Castle and keeper of the Castle there in 1267, a position he had been dismissed from in 1255, for his support during the rebellion.
It is believed Robert joined the princes Edward and Edmund on their 1270-4 crusade, as his sons failed to attend.
(Edward I decided in favour of the senior legitimate heir by primogeniture, John Balliol but in 1306 the crown was assumed by a grandson of the Bruce himself, who became King Robert I. In doing this, the rightful heir, John Balliol's own son, was smitten by his father's misfortune of having been placed on the throne in an inopportune period.)
Robert, 5th Lord of Annandale resigned the lordship of Annandale to his son, the Earl of Carrick, as well as his claim to the Crown. Shortly after this, Robert's daughter-in-law Marjorie died in 1292,and on the day of her death his son transferred Carrick to his eldest grandson, the future Robert I of Scotland thus making the boy the Earl of Carrick.
In 1292 Robert V de Brus held a market at Ireby, Cumberland, in right of his wife. The following year he had a market at Hartlepool, county Durham within the liberties of the Bishop of Durham.
Sir Robert de Brus died March 31, 1295 (new style) at Lochmaben Castle and was buried April 17 at Gisborough Priory (North Yorkshire).
