Just a note. Unless I am mistaken, this page says she died at around age 43. Yet her birth date and death date add up to somewhere around 38 years old. Which is correct? I do not know. But, it says she was born sometime in 1289, and died in October 1327. 11 + 27 is 38, correct? So, she was either 38, or about to turn 38. Or...those dates are off by about 5 years. Is there anything that describes the age difference between her and Robert the Bruce? Are there sources that back up her date of death? Under "Historical Accuracy," on the page for the movie, Outlaw King, it says this, "The film shows Robert I marrying Elizabeth de Burgh after surrendering to Edward I. In reality, Bruce's second marriage occurred years before in 1302." If this is true, she would have been 13. Not an unbelievable age, but is it possible that she was instead, 18, and thus born 5 years before 1289...in 1284? This would be believable...as somebody could have mistaken a 4 for a 9.

And, I just went back to read her page again, and it appears the mystery is solved. Under "Life," is says this, "She was born in Ireland (c. 1284), the daughter of the powerful Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster and his wife, Margarite de Burgh." So it appears that somebody did substitute a 9 in place of a 4. I would edit that section on the right with the error, myself, but I will leave it to somebody more experienced at editing pages.RustyLH (talk) 09:57, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
