  1. Title: ROBERT DE BRUS 'le meschin' (died 1194) son of ROBERT DE BRUS - Scots Peerage
    Publication: Name: https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun02pauluoft/page/429/mode/1up;
    Note: Page 428 ROBERT DE BRUS succeeded his father [ADELM (or ADAM) DE BRUS] in the barony of Page 429 Skelton. There has been much confusion about this Robert through Dugdale confounding him with his grandfather, who bore the same name. He became a very powerful Baron, having no less than ninety-four lordships in Yorkshire, summed at fifteen knights' fees. He was a liberal benefactor to the Church, and along with the Earl of Huntingdon (afterwards David I) founded the Abbey of Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso. He had charters from David I, circa 1124, of the lands of Estrahanent, or Annandale.1 He married Agnes, daughter of Foulk de Paganell,2 and got with her the manor of Careton, in Yorkshire, and other lands. Of a second alleged marriage to Agnes de Annand there is no proof. He died in May 1141,3 leaving issue: — 1. Adam, who succeeded in Skelton. 2. ROBERT, surnamed 'le meschin,' who succeeded in Annandale. 3. Pagan, supposed to have been the founder of the family of Bruce of Pickering. 4. Agatha, married to Ralph, son of Ribald, Lord of Middleham. ROBERT DE BRUS, 'le meschin' or the younger, the second son of his father, got from him his Scottish possessions of Annandale just before the battle of the Standard in 1138; they were both present at that engagement, but upon different sides, though the young possessor of Annandale was only fourteen. He is said to have been taken prisoner by his own father, who sent him to King Stephen, but that monarch courteously remitted him to his mother at Skelton. The whole affair was probably a family arrangement to prevent the lands, in the case of either side winning, from going out of the family by forfeiture. Robert de Brus had a grant of certain lands in Durham from his father, on a complaint made by him that he had no wheaten bread in Annandale; he had also a confirmation of the last-named territory from William the Lion, dated at Lochmaben, circa 1166. Brus married a lady Page 430 whose Christian name was Euphemia. He died in 1194, leaving issue at least two sons: — 1. Robert, married in 1183 Isabel, natural daughter of King William the Lion by the daughter of Robert Avenel. He died s. p. before his father in 1191, in which year his widow married Robert de Ros. 2. WILLIAM. WILLIAM DE BRUS succeeded his father in Annandale about 1194. His wife's name was Christina, who survived him and married, after his death in 1215, Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, as his second wife. He had issue: — 1. ROBERT. 2. William. 3. John.

    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Brus,_4th_Lord_of_Annandale;
    Note: Robert de Brus, the Noble (ca. 1195–1245 [1]) was 4th Lord of Annandale. He was the son of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale and Christina mac Uchtred[2] [3] Robert had the same name as both his uncle and his grandfather. His uncle died before becoming Lord of Annandale, and therefore, his father, William, inherited the title, becoming 3rd Lord of Annandale. Robert married ca. 1219 Isobel of Huntingdon, the second daughter of David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon, by which marriage he acquired the manors of Writtle and Hatfield Broadoak, Essex in England.[4] They had 2 children: Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, married firstly Isabella de Clare, with issue; married secondly Christina de Ireby, without issue. Bernard de Brus, married firstly Alice de Clare; married secondly Constance de Morleyn.[5] [6] He died sometime between 1226 and 1233, and was buried in Gisborough Priory or in Sawtry Abbey.[7]

  6. Title: Patrick I, Earl of Dunbar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2nd Husband of Christina)
    Note: Patrick I (c.1152[1] – 1232), Earl of Dunbar and lord of Beanley, was a 13th-century Anglo-Scottish noble. He was the eldest son of Waltheof, Earl of Dunbar and Alina, and succeeded to his father's titles upon the latter's death in 1182. Patrick was one of the most important magnates to Kings William and Alexander II of Scotland, frequently witnessing their charters and traveling in their entourages whenever they went to the south of England to perform homage to the King of England for the properties in that realm. Patrick also served as Justiciar of Lothian as well as Warden of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Patrick held, like his predecessors (who were originally of the kindred of the native English earls of Northumberland), some of his most important lands were in northern England. Patrick's close association with the Scottish kings in fact got him in trouble, and perhaps because of Alexander II's pursuit of claims to the earldom of Northumberland, Waltheof found himself temporarily deprived of some of his lands by King John of England. Patrick married (1) Ada (died 1200), an illegitimate daughter of King William the Lion, by whom he had four sons and a daughter: Patrick (his successor), William, who witnessed a charter as "fratre Comitis" c. 1240 – 1248[2] Robert, Fergus, Ada, who married her second cousin Sir William de Greenlaw (son of Sir Patrick de Greenlaw, son of Gospatric III, Earl of Lothian). Her dowry was Home Castle, and Sir William later became known as 'de Home' in her right. The couple were progenitors of the Home family. His first wife predeceasing him, Patrick married again: (2) Christina, widow of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale. No children are known by this marriage. The Earl of Dunbar died on 31 December 1232. He was buried at the Cistercian nunnery of Eccles, Berwickshire.

  7. Title: ROBERT [II] de Brus, son of ROBERT [I] de Brus - Foundation for Medieva Genealogy
    Publication: Name: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTLAND.htm#RobertBrusMEuphemia;
    Note: ROBERT [II] de Brus, son of ROBERT [I] de Brus & his [second] wife Agnes --- ([1135/40]-[17 Feb, 26 Aug, or 4 Dec] after [1170/90]). The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory names “Robertus de Bruse…miles de Normannia” and “Roberto de Bruse filio suo juniori”, adding that the latter was captured during the Anglo-Scottish wars[1043]. The 1155 Pipe Roll records "Agnes de Bruis…p filio suo"[1044]. As noted above, this suggests that Agnes was acting for her son, who was a minor at the time, in relation to the property for which the return was made. If this is correct, her son was presumably Robert [II] de Brus, who must have been considerably younger than his [half-]brother Adam [I], and so probably born from a different wife. If this is correct, he had reached the age of majority by 1157 when he is named without his mother in the Pipe Roll (see below). The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “primus Brus de Carleton…Robertus de Brus” granted “villam Anandiæ de regno Scotiæ…et…postea Hert et Hertnesse” to “Robertus filius eius junior”[1045]. Lord of Annandale. The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Rob de Brus" in Northumberland[1046]. “Robertus de Bruis et uxor mea Eufemia” donated property to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough by charter dated to [1160/75][1047]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Robertus de Brus v m" in Yorkshire in [1167/68][1048]. “Robertus de Brus” donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by “Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis…Hugone de Brus…”[1049]. The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the deaths “XIII Kal Mar” of "Roberti Brus de Anant", "VII Kal Sep" of "Roberti Brus de Anande", and "II Non Dec" of "Roberti Brus de Anande"[1050]. Two of these three deaths presumably relate to Robert [II] and Robert [III] de Brus, as the same source separately records the deaths of Robert [I], Robert [IV] and Robert [V] de Brus (see above and below). It is not known to whom the third death refers as no other record has been found of another Robert de Brus before Robert [VI], who was not buried at Gysburne/Gisborough. m EUPHEMIE, daughter of ---. “Robertus de Brus” notified his donation to the hospital of St Peter, York by charter dated to [1150/70], witnessed by “domina Eufemia…”[1051]. “Robertus de Bruis et uxor mea Eufemia” donated property to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough by charter dated to [1160/75][1052]. Her origin is indicated by the charter dated to [1150/60] under which “W. comes Albemarle” granted property to “Eufemie nepti mee uxori Roberti de Brus”[1053]. Domesday Descendants speculates that she was the daughter of Guillaume’s brother Enguerrand[1054], although there seems no reason to choose one of his brothers over any of the others. Another possibility is that she was the daughter of Guillaume’s sister Mathilde, whose husband Guermond de Picquigny is recorded with a sister named Euphemie. Robert [II] de Brus & his wife had three children: 1. ROBERT [III] de Brus (-[17 Feb, 26 Aug, or 4 Dec] 1191). “Robertus de Brus” donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by “Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis…Hugone de Brus…”[1055]. He succeeded his father as Lord of Annandale. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Adam de Brus…Robertus de Brus" paying "vii l x s, xv milites" and "l s, v milites", respectively, in Yorkshire[1056]. Two of these three deaths presumably relate to Robert [II] and Robert [III] de Brus, as the same source separately records the deaths of Robert [I], Robert [IV] and Robert [V] de Brus (see above and below). It is not known to whom the third death refers as no other record has been found of another Robert de Brus before Robert [VI], who was not buried at Gysburne/Gisborough. m (1183) as her first husband, ISABEL, illegitimate daughter of WILLIAM I "the Lion" King of Scotland & his mistress --- Avenell. The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1183 of "William king of the Scots…his daughter Isabella" and "Robert de Brus"[1057]. She married secondly (Haddington early 1191) Robert de Ros. The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1191 of "the king of Scots…his daughter Ysembel (the widow of Robert de Brus)" and "Robert de Ross" at Haddington[1058]. 2. WILLIAM de Brus (-before 4 Dec 1214). The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Willielmus filius eius” succeeded “Robertus Brus”[1059]. “Robertus de Brus” donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by “Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis…Hugone de Brus…”[1060]. He succeeded his brother as Lord of Annandale. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Willelmus de Brus" paying "x s, dimidium militem" in Cumberland[1061]. The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the deaths “XVII Kal Aug” of "Willmii Brus de Anand" and "Kal Aug" of "Willmi Brus primi Prioris"[1062]. [1063]m as her first husband, CHRISTINA, daughter of ---. Christina was the sister of Eva, second wife of Robert de Quincy (see ENGLAND EARLS, WINCHESTER), as shown by the undated charter under which "Eua quondam uxor Roberti de Quinci" donated property "de Edmundesten" to Melrose abbey, for the souls of "dominorum meorum Robti de Quinci et Walteri de Berkeley et Rolandi fratris mei et Johis filii mei et Christine sororis mee"[1064]. The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Cristina uxor Willelmi de Brus, Robertus de Brus filius eius"[1065]. She married secondly (before 4 Dec 1214) as his second wife, Patrick Earl of Dunbar. "Patricius comes de Dumbar" donated land "iuxta Emudestu" to Melrose abbey, for the souls of "Ade comitisse quondam uxoris mee…et Christine comitisse uxoris mee et…Patricii filii mei et omnium filiorum meorum et filiarum", to Melrose abbey by undated charter[1066]. William de Brus & his wife had two children: a) ROBERT [IV] de Brus “the Noble” (-[1 Apr] 1245). The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus secundus” succeeded “Willielmus Brus”[1067]. Lord of Annandale. - see below. b) [EUPHEME (-1267). Her parentage is suggested by MacEwan[1068]. If correct, she was her husband’s step-sister, daughter of his father’s second wife by her first husband. "Eufemia comitissa" donated revenue from land in "Kirkinfyde" to Dryburgh monastery, for the soul of "domini mei Patricii comitis", by undated charter[1069]. The Chronicle of Lanercost records the death in 1267 of "domina mater domini comitis Patricii de Dunbar, Eufemia…magistri Patricii qui apud Marsilium obiit"[1070]. m (1213 or before) PATRICK de Dunbar, son of PATRICK Earl of Dunbar & his first wife Ada of Scotland (-Marseilles [May/Dec] 1248). He succeeded his father in 1232 as Earl of Dunbar.] 3. BERNARD de Brus . “Robertus de Brus” donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by “Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis…Hugone de Brus…”[1071].
  8. Title: Uhtred of Galloway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (father of Christina)
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uhtred_of_Galloway#Marriage_and_children;
    Note: Uchtred mac Fergus (c. 1120 – 22 September 1174) was Lord of Galloway from 1161 to 1174, ruling jointly with his half-brother Gille Brigte (Gilbert). They were sons of Fergus of Galloway; their mothers' names are unknown, but Uchtred may have been born to one of the many illegitimate daughters of Henry I of England, most likely Elizabeth Fitzroy. Career As a boy he was sent as a hostage to the court of King Malcolm IV of Scotland. When his father, Prince Fergus, died in 1161, Uchtred was made co-ruler of Galloway along with Gilla Brigte. They participated in the disastrous invasion of Northumberland under William I of Scotland in 1174. King William was captured, and the Galwegians rebelled, taking the opportunity to slaughter the Normans and English in their land. During this time Uchtred was brutally mutilated, blinded, castrated, and killed by his brother Gille Brigte and Gille Brigte's son, Máel Coluim. Gille Brigte then seized control of the whole of Galloway. Marriage and children Uchtred had married Gunhilda of Dunbar, daughter of Waltheof of Allerdale and they were the parents of Lochlann of Galloway (also known as Roland), Eve of Galloway, wife of Walter de Berkeley and Christina, wife of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale.

Identifies her as the sister of Lochlann (Roland) of Galloway, and Eve of Galloway, wife of Walter de Berkeley and identifies Christina as the wife of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale.
  9. Title: William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (husband of Christina)
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Brus,_3rd_Lord_of_Annandale;
    Note: William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale (died 16 July 1212), was the second but eldest surviving son of Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale. His elder brother, Robert III de Brus, predeceased their father, never holding the lordship of Annandale. William de Brus thus succeeded his father when the latter died in 1194. William de Brus possessed large estates in the north of England. He obtained from John, King of England, the grant of a weekly market at Hartlepool, and granted lands to the canons of Gisburn.[4] Very little else is known about William's activities. He makes a few appearances in the English government records and witnessed a charter of William the Lion, King of Scotland. He married Christina, daughter of Uhtred of Galloway, and had by her at least two sons and one daughter: Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale (died 1226), married Isobel of Huntingdon, had issue. John de Brus William de Brus Agatha de Brus, married Ralph Tailboys, had issue.
    Page: Identifies Christina as the daughter of Uhtred of Galloway, the wife of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale and the mother of: -Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale (died 1226), married Isobel of Huntingdon, had issue. -John de Brus -William de Brus -Agatha de Brus, married Ralph Tailboys, had issue.
  10. Title: Lochlann of Galloway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (brother of Christina)
    Note: Lochlann (died December 12, 1200), also known by his French name Roland fitz Uhtred, was the son and successor of Uchtred, Lord of Galloway as the "Lord" or "sub-king" of eastern Galloway. Family Lochlann was the only known son of Uchtred, Lord of Galloway and his wife Gunhilda of Dunbar, daughter of Waltheof of Allerdale. Lochlann (also called Roland) had 2 siblings, sisters: Eve of Galloway, wife of Walter de Berkeley; and Christina, wife of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale. Through their father Lochlann and his siblings were great grand children of King Henry I, of England. Through their mother they were descended from the house of Dunkeld. Lochlann's father is considered to be the last living King of Galloway, which he ruled jointly with his brother, Gille Brigte, from 1161 to 1174. At this time Gille Brigte, brutally slew his brother, Uchtred, who was a strong alley of Scotland, and attempted to transfer Galloway over to English control. Gille Brigte offered the King of England tribute if the King would "remove them [the Galwegians] from the servitude of the king of Scotland" (Anderson, p. 258). However, when King Henry's delegation discovered the fate of Uchtred, Henry's cousin, they rejected the request. Gille Brigte was forced to come to terms with the two kings, and pay penalties for the death of his brother. Lochlann of Galloway was likely a young adult at the time of his father's death at the hands of his uncle. He likely participated in King William of Scotland's disastrous invasion of Northumberland. After his father's death Lochlann made it plan he considered King William of Scotland his loege. Where his father had declared himself King of Galloway, after Gille Brigt's death in 1185 Lochlann became "Lord of Galloway". It is said his favorite title was yet to come, courtesy of his wife.
    Page: Identifies Gunhilda of Dunbar as the daughter of Waltheof of Allerdale the wife of Uchtred, Lord of Galloway the mother of : Lochlann, Lord of Gallowa (also called Roland), Eve of Galloway, wife of Walter de Berkeley; and Christina, wife of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale. Also identifies her as descended from the house of Dunkeld.
