    {Either Isabel - this person or her husband's grandmother - are supposed to
    be daughter of King William the Lion of Scotland - per Carr P. Collins,
    "Royal Ancestors...", p. 226. But see comment for the other Isabel, ID6004
    - this is the line accepted by AEM. "The Bruce Journal," I:1, p. 10 agrees
    with the line shown here, and states that Isabel was co-heir with her
    brother, John the Scot, Earl of Chester.}
