Robert the Bruce is the Jack of Clubs in this set (the King is Alexander III and the Queen is Margaret of Norway).
'Born about 1250, died 1328, eventually united central Scotland in support of his claim, and triumphantly became acclaimed by all after winning the Battle of Bannockburn against the English in 1314'.
