The realistic depictions of the head of Robert the Bruce show him in his warrior prime, and how he may have looked as he suffered from leprosy.

In the first images of the king, he is seen to have a large head with dark brown hair and brown eyes. It is likely he would have had a muscular neck and strong frame.

It is clear he would have benefited from a first-class diet and would have had a physique to prepare him for the brutality of medieval warfare.
