Is this the same Edward Bruce?[edit]

There are some considerable differences between this article and the description of the same painting at Sotheby's. The dates of birth and death are different, it talks about Lord Kinross instead of Kinloss, and it refers to a second son Thomas, that is not mentioned here. Is this the same Edward Bruce? Or should the image be removed from this article? Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 15:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas is mentioned in the article, no.4 in the list of children (OK not as a 2nd son but still Earl of Elgin). Kinross/Kinloss is an easy enough mistake. Sothebys says he was "Master of the Rolls, and in 1604 he was created Baron Bruce", which also corresponds. Can't explain the different birth & death dates but it seems clear that its the same bloke.
