David II Bruce was the only surviving son of Robert I of Scotland by his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. David was married in 1328, at the tender age of four years, to Joan of the Tower, the 7-year-old daughter of Edward II of England. David ascended the throne as King of Scots the following year, aged five. In 1333, David was overthrown by the pretender Edward Balliol, together with an English army. David and Joan fled to France under the protection of King Philip IV.

In 1341, David returned to Scotland, his throne restored. In 1346, he invaded England in the interest of the French, who were at war with the English in Normandy. David was captured and imprisoned, initially in the Tower of London. He remained in England for eleven years. David was released in 1357 after the Scottish nobility agreed to a ransom of 100,000 merks. The full ransom was never paid.

Queen Joan died in 1362 and David married his second wife, Margaret Drummond, in 1364. There were no children from either marriage. David II died unexpectedly and at the height of his power at Edinburgh Castle on 22 February 1371. He was the last male of the House of Bruce. David II was succeeded by his nephew, Robert II, the first monarch of the House of Stewart (Stuart).
