Talk:Guardian of Scotland

Second Interregnum
Is it accurate to call the Guardians de facto heads of state during the Second Interregnum? For most of this period, was not Edward I the de facto head of state? john k 23:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Bishop of Dunkeld
Historian Dauvit Broun has researched the possibility of the Bishop of Dunkeld being one of seven guardians in the first interregnum. Augustus18 (talk) 15:08, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Donnchadh IV of Fife
That Donnchadh IV of Fife, or Duncan, as we of the non-Gaelic speaking variety call him, was a Guardian of Scotland during the First Interrregnum is quite inconceivable. After all, having been born in 1289, he was only a wee laddy who needed all the guarding he could get himself. And I can’t imagine that even the Scots should have been so daft as to make a toddler a Guardian at a time of utmost crisis. Accordingly, in the letters of March 1290 to Edward I and Eric II of Norway pertaining to the treaties of Salisbury and Birgham only four guardians are mentioned, i.e. Fraser, Wisehart, John Comyn and Stewart, both Duncan III and Alexander Comyn having died the previous year. One guardian, however, is missing from the list: Bryan FitzAlan, Lord of Bedale, who was appointed a Guardian of Scotland on 13 June 1291. 87.179.233.138 (talk) 22:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
