by the Scottish army who were victorious against the army of King Edward II of England at the Battle of Bannockburn (1314). History The Monymusk Reliquary was perhaps at Forglen until the sixteenth century, when both Forglen and Monymusk came into the hands of the Forbes family. In 1712 it was transferred to Sir Francis Grant of Cullen. It stayed in the Grant collection until 1933, when it was due to be auctioned, but was acquired by the National Museum of Scotland first, with the help of the Art Fund. It is arguably one of the most important pieces in the museum's collection. References Bibliography Moss, Rachel. Medieval c. 400—c. 1600: Art and Architecture of Ireland.
