Here, Isabel and the others were brought before a now ailing Edward
I. Their punishments were handed out as followed:
The Earl of Atholl was hung, decapitated, and burned.
Queen Elizabeth was placed under house arrest in Burstwick-in-Holderness Manor.
Marjorie Bruce was placed in a nunnery in Walton.
Christian Bruce was sent to a convent in Lincolnshire, England.
Mary Bruce was sent to hang from the battlements of Roxburgh
Castle in a cage.
Isabel was also sent to hang in a cage from the battlements
of Berwick Castle.
As a small concession to their modesty, privies were built
into the walls of Mary and Isabel’s cages.
