"King Robert The Bruce is said to be taller than 1.85 meters but we think he has the same physique and fitness as Wayne Rooney. Based on the skull and historical evidence of the king, we consider This is a man of great strength , " said Dr. Martin MacGregor, Scottish history lecturer at Glasgow University.

Martin believed that the history books that tell the story of King Robert The Bruce killing Henry de Bohun in the Bannockburn battle in 1314 can prove his hypothesis. According to historical records, the Scottish king then stood up on the pedal and hit the opponent's head hard, breaking the helmet and Bohun's head.

"He must be a very strong person to do so. Therefore, we conclude that the king is a strong muscular, not a tall figure as expected , " Martin explained.

However, the reconstructed version does not show. get the color of his eyes, skin tone and hair color, King Robert The Bruce may have leprosy, but the signs of the disease do not show clearly on his face, " said Professor Caroline Wilkinson, a famous face skull expert share.
