  “BERNARD DE BRUS, of Conington, Huntingdonshire, Exton, Rutland, Buecesford, Donington, and Golksby, Lincolnshire, etc., younger son. He married (1st) ALICE DE BEAUCHAMP, daughter of William de Beauchamp, of Elmley and Salwarpe, Worcestershire, hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, by Isabel, daughter of William Mauduit, hereditary Chamberlain of the Exchequer [see BEAUCHAMP 8 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Bernard, Knt., and John. He received robes, gifts, and expenses from King Henry III between 1247 and 1257. Sometime before 1268 he and his wife, Alice, were granted lands and rents in Cottesmore and Greetham, Rutland by her uncle, William Mauduit, Earl of Warwick. He forfeited his lands by taking part against the king in the Barons' War. He married (2nd) CONSTANCE DE MERSTON, widow of John de Morteyn (living 1254, died about 1265), of Marston (in Marston Moretaine), Bedfordshire, and daughter of Ralph de Merston, of Marston, Bedfordshire. BERNARD DE BRUS died shortly before August 1266. In 1274-5 his widow, Constance, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Radulph son of Richard de Marston touching common of pasture in Marston, Bedfordshire. In 1276 she disputed with the Abbot of St. Albans regarding the presentation of the church of Turville, Buckinghamshire. In 1278-9 she sued William Fitz Henry in a novel disseisin plea regarding meadow in Conington, Huntingdonshire. She married (3rd) before 8 May 1281 (date of presentation) ROBERT DE WOTTON (or DE WYTTON), in right of his wife, of Marston (in Marston Moretaine), Bedfordshire. In 1280-1 Robert de Brus, senior, arraigned an assize of darrein presentment against Robert and his wife, Constance, and Bernard de Brus touching the church of Conington, Huntingdonshire. He and his wife, Constance, presented Master Walter de Wotton as rector of the church of Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire in 1281. Later a dispute ensued in the king's court between Robert and his wife, Constance, and Richard d'Argentine concerning the right of presentation to the dependant chapel of Roxhill, Bedfordshire; the court subsequently ruled in favor of Robert and Constance. In 1282 and the said Walter was re-instituted to the church of Marston Moretaine, this time with the addition of the chapel of Roxhill. In 1281 Adam del Cokedaek [or Crokedaek] had a plea against Constance, wife of Robert Wotton. In 1283 she granted the manor of Turville, Buckinghamshire to her son, Eustace de Morteyn, in tail-male. Constance died about 1293.
