Piers de Brus I (died 1222)-
In 1200, he succeeded in recovering the manor of Danby at a cost of £1000. In 1207 he purchased the wapentake of Langbaurgh, near Great Ayton. He became increasingly disillusioned of King John; and in February 1216, he had to flee Skelton Castle to avoid capture by the king. By 1219, the new king, Henry III, had restored his lands to him.
