Elizabeth de Burgh is depicted as English, in reality she was of mixed Native Irish and Anglo-Norman ancestry and was born and raised in Ulster. In 1315 (eight years after Loudon Hill) Robert would lead an, ultimately unsuccessful, invasion of Ireland aimed at freeing the country from English rule. Elizabeth's father Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster led the Anglo-Norman forces against his son-in-law.
