About The Turnbull Family
This info I got off the Turnbull Clan website:
William Roule of Bedrule saved Robert The Bruce ca. 1300 from a wild bull that was charging. The story says that William jumped in between the bull and the King and proceeded to turn it down to the ground and break it's neck. Robert was so gratified that he dubbed William Turn-E-Bull and gave him the barony of Bedrule and area. William Roule Turnbull assumed the motto "I Saved The King"
The Turnbull name is quite unique, as it is the ONLY name that can be traced back to a specific date. There is documented evidence that King Robert bestowed lands in Phillipshaugh to a William of Rule, naming him Sir William Turnebull, on August 15th 1315.
This also contradicts the theory that the name came from the French Turnbouf, which did not exist until 100 years later, when some of the Scots fled to France to fight against the English. - Albert Turnbull, 2008
