Both these women are linked as wives of William but, for now, neither is connected to Robert as his mother.'''http://www.thepeerage.com/p91.htm#i902 Cokayne says Beatrice is the wife and mother.

Scots Peerage lists only children Robert and Beatrice while Richardson lists only Robert and Bernard. Scots Peerage has no sources for this. While Richardson lists a vast array of sources, he does not list a specific one except for undoubted son Robert and in a footnote a long discussion of Bernard. Son [[Brus-94|Richard]] has a substantial source listedM.E. Cumming Bruce. Family records of the Bruces and the Cumyns, with an historical introduction and appendix, etc. [With genealogical tables.] Published 1870, William Blackwood and Sons Edinburgh. , but it is very old (1870) and not authoritative. Thus this matter is not settled.
