Notes


Page 428 ADELM (or ADAM) DE BRUS, the second son of Robert de Brus, a Norman knight, and Emma, daughter of Allan, Earl of Brittany... He died about 1080; he is said to have married Emma, daughter of Sir William de Ramsay, but this also is doubtful. He left issue, so far as is known: — 1. ROBERT. 2. William, the first Prior of Gisburne, who was buried there, 1155. 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 4 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.4
