Sources don't support what's being claimed? (The cage myth)
"Countess Isobel of Fife was held captive in an iron cage at Berwick Castle. Robert’s younger sister, Mary Bruce, was locked into an iron cage at Roxburgh Castle. She was just 24 years old. Mary spent the next four years caged and humiliated. Her older sister Christian Bruce was shown more compassion and was imprisoned in a Gilbertine nunnery in Lincolnshire. Christian’s husband, Sir Christopher Seton, was hanged, drawn and beheaded at Dumfries."

There is the passage in the source provided on the cages. What the article in question by Education Scotland bases it claims on is unclear. Anyhow, the orders by King Edward are still extant. This article makes a lot of claims that are unfounded and not sourced. And if someone wants to continue claiming that these ladies were hanging in cages exposed to the elements, there are serious historians that provide ample evidence this was not the case, such as Michael Prestwich.
