  5. PETER DE BRUS, Knt, of Skelton, Danby, Thorp Arches, and Walton, Yorkshire, son and heir. He married JOAN OF CHESTER, daughter of John, hereditary Constable of Chester, of Halton, Cheshire, Bilhaugh and Harworth, Nottinghamshire, etc., by Alice, daughter of Roger Fitz Richard, of Warkworth, Northumberland [see LACY 1 for her ancestry]. Her maritagiurn included land and a mill at Knottingley, Yorkshire. They had one son, Peter. In 1198 he paid relief for his father's lands. In the period, 119LC1203, he confirmed to Guisborough Priory three bovates of land in Normanby granted by Richard Lost and Stephen son of Henry de Percy. In the same period, he confirmed to Guisborough Priory half a carucate in Brotton granted by his father, Adam de Brus, and two bovates of land in Brotton granted by Robert de Turnham. He was frequently present at King John's court, witnessing at least 13 of the king's charters between 1199 and 1213. In 1199 he sued his cousin, William de Brus, of Annandale in Scotland, regarding lands in Hartness; Peter subsequently quitclaimed the lands to William and his heirs, which William agreed to hold of Peter and his heirs for the service of two fees. About 1200 he witnessed a charter of Adam de Cridling to his brother-in-law, Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester. About 1200 he and his wife, Joan, granted the monks of St. John of Pontefract a toft in Knottingley, Yorkshire. In 1203 he was sued by his half-sister, Agnes (de Flamville) de Percy, regarding her dower rights to a one third share of lands in Crathorne and Battersby, which her late husband had held of Peter. He was among the northern batons who met King John in the north in 1213. At an unknown date, he granted ten marks yearly in the mill of Knottingley, Yorkshire, which property he received in marriage with his wife, Joan, for the support of two canons, priests, celebrating in their church of the Park of Healaugh in the honour of St. James. SIR PETER DE BRUS died 12 Feb. 1222.

   Note: ABSTRACT This paper explores evidence that Joan, the wife of Peter de Brus, Lord of Skelton was a sister of Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester, and by tracing the devolution of her marriage portion of an estate in Knottingley, into the Meinell family, the author concludes that it was common descent from this couple which caused serious problems for their descendants, Nicholas de Meinell and Lucy de Thweng, whose notorious love affair, resulted in accusations of incest by the church.
