After Kildrummy fell, Bruce's queen Elizabeth de Burgh, his daughter Marjorie, his sisters Mary and Christina, and the Countess of Buchan (who had crowned Bruce) fled north toward the sanctuary of St Duthac's shrine at Tain. The Earl of Ross violated sanctuary and seized them. Elizabeth and Marjorie were imprisoned in England; Mary Bruce and the Countess of Buchan were put in cage-like structures hung from castle walls — particularly brutal treatment. All were held until the prisoners exchange after Bannockburn.
