  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir Bryan FitzAlan, Baron FitzAlan was Lord of the Manor of Bedale in Richmond, Askham Bryan in the Ainsty, Bainton, Heworth in Yorkshire, Bicker and Graby in Lincolnshire, Justice of the Peace and High Sheriff of Yorkshire. He was appointed a Guardian of Scotland on 13 June 1291 and was brother-in-law to King John of Scotland.
  
  He was the son of Sir Knight Alan Fitz Bryan, Lord of the Manor of Bedale, and his spouse, Agnes. His father was slain shortly before 17 May 1276 by Payn de Keu of Brandesburton in self-defense, his mother is thought to be the daughter of Sir Randolph Fitz Henry of Ravensworth in Richmond. The family claim direct descent from Conan II, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond.
  
  Sir Bryan married Muriel, who died before 8 November 1290 and is buried in Bedale Church. They had three sons, Thomas, Robert and Theobald, all of whom died before 1290, and nothing else is known. They also had two daughters:
  
  * Agnes married Sir Gilbert Stapleton, b 1298
  * Katherine married Sir John de Grey, 1st Baron Grey of Rotherfield, b 1300
  
  Secondly, he married Anne (or Maud) before 2 July 1297, the daughter of Sir John Balliol, Lord of Barnard Castle, and she was buried in the Church of the Black Friars at York.
  
  In 1290 he founded by charter at Bedale; a chantry which he appropriated to Jervaulx Abbey to pray for the souls of the late Countess of Richmond, of Alan his father and Agnes his mother, his first wife, Muriel, and his sons Thomas, Robert, and Theobald.
  
  On 20 September 1291, he had a licence to crenellate his house at Killerby, near Catterick, in the wapentake of East Hang.
  
  Sir Bryan was on the King's service in Wales in 1277 and 1287. On 1 May 1285, being about to go beyond the seas on pilgrimage, he had Letters of Protection from the Crown for two years. He was Constable of both Roxburgh Castle and Jedburgh Castle from 4 August 1291 to 18 November 1292, and those of Dundee and Forfar from 1290 until the same day. He was present at the assemblies held at Berwick-upon-Tweed in October and November 1292 during the discussions surrounding the Great Cause. As a Guardian of Scotland, he was one of those commanded on 18 November 1292 to give seisin of the Kingdom of Scotland to John de Balliol.
  
  On 12 July 1297 he was appointed Captain for the defense of Northumberland and, on 18 October following, a Keeper of the Scottish Marches in that county. He was constituted Keeper of Scotland, at a salary of 2,000 marks a year, on 18 August 1297. He served at the Battle of Falkirk on 22 July 1298 and was at the siege of Caerlaverock Castle in July 1300.
  
  Sir Bryan was summoned for Military Service from 6 April 1282 to 7 November 1302, to a Military Council on 14 June 1287, and to attend upon the King at Salisbury on 26 January 1298. He was summoned to parliament from 24 June 1295 to 22 January 1305 by Writs directed to 'Briano filio Alani' whereby he is held to have become Lord FitzAlan. As 'Brianus filius Alani domins de Bedale' he took part in the Barons' Letter to the Pope, dated 12 February 1300.
  
  Lord FitzAlan was buried in Bedale Church next to his first wife. The lordship passed into abeyance with the death of Lord Lovell in the Wars of the Roses. An immense amount of confusion followed throughout history concerning the family titles and lands.
