Notes

ROBERT [VI] de Brus, son of ROBERT [V] de Brus Lord of Annandale & his first wife Isabel de Clare (Jul 1243-shortly before 4 Apr 1304, bur Abbey of Holm Cultram). The Annals of Tewkesbury record the birth in Jul 1243 of “filium nomine ---” to “Isabel de Clara…[et] R. de Brus”. The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus quartus” succeeded “Robertus Brus tertius” and was buried “apud Holme-Coltram”. Earl of Carrick, de iure uxoris, he resigned this to his son 27 Oct 1292. His father resigned in his favour his claim to the Scottish throne 7 Nov 1292, both father and son refusing to do homage to King John Balliol. He succeeded his father in 1295 as Lord of Annandale. He became Lord Brus by virtue of his summons to attend the English parliament in 1295.

m firstly (Turnberry Castle 1271) as her second husband, MARGARET Ctss of Carrick suo iure, widow of ADAM de Kilconquhar, daughter and heiress of NEIL Earl of Carrick & his wife Margaret Stewart (-[1292]). The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that “Robertus Brus quartus” married “filiam et hæredem comitis Karrigg”. The Liber Pluscardensis names "unicam filiam suam Martham…comitissa de Carrick" as heiress of "Adam comite de Carrick" and records her marriage to "Roberto de Bruys…secundo, futurus Vallis Anandiæ dominus in Scocia et Clevland in Anglia" without the king’s permission. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death "in Terram Sanctam pro Christo peregrinaturus" of "Adam comes de Carrik", dated to [1271] from the context, leaving "unicam filiam…Martham, quæ sibi in comitatum successit" and her marriage to "Roberto de Bruce…filio Roberti de Bruce cognomine Nobilis, domini Vallis de Annandia in Scotia et de Clyveland in Anglia". The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records that "Robertum Bruse filium Roberti de Bruys, cognomine…domini Vallis de Anandia in Scocia et de Cliflande in Anglia" abducted "Martha filia et heres unica Nigelli comitis de Carryk" to "castrum suum de Turnberry" and married her without the licence of the king. These passage confuse the supposed daughter with her mother.

m secondly (licence 19 Sep 1295, divorced [Oct 1296/May 1299]) as her second husband, MATILDA, widow of PHILIP Burnell, daughter of JOHN FitzAlan Lord of Clun and Oswestry & his wife Isabel de Mortimer (-before [1330]). The licence for “Matilda late the wife of Philip Burnel tenant in chief” to marry “Robert de Brus lord of Annandale” is dated 19 Sep 1295. An order dated 13 Oct 1296 relates to a claim by "Robert de Brus earl of Carrick and lord of Annandale and Matill[idis] his wife in a plea of dower". “Matilda formerly the wife of Philip Burnel” sued “Ralph Springehose” and others for land in Wolverhampton and 26 named tenants in Wolverhampton for a third of their holdings “in that vill as her dower” dated [6 May/1 Jun] 1299. She married thirdly (before 19 Jun 1316) Simon Criketot. Her third marriage is confirmed by an agreement dated “Saturday before Midsummer 8 Edw II” between “Sir Hugh le Despenser and Sir John de Haudlo” and “Simon Criketot” relating to covenants between Sir Hugh and Sir John and “Dame Maud Burnell now wife of the said Simon” on the marriage of “the said Sir John and Dame Maud Lovel daughter of the said Dame Maud Burnel”. “John de Handlo [Haudlo] and Maud his wife” petitioned for lands, dated to [1330], stating that “Philip Burnel, father of Maud de Handlo, and Maud his wife” were seised of tenements “given in free marriage by Richard Fitz Alan Earl of Arundel, Maud’s brother”, after the death of Maud senior.

m thirdly as her first husband, ELEANOR, daughter of --- (-[13 Apr/8 Sep] or [16 Mar/19 Oct] 1331). A charter dated 2 Dec 1305 refers to "Alianora widow of Robert de Brus" She married secondly ([2 Dec 1305/8 Feb 1306]) as his first wife, Richard le Waleys of Burgh Wallis, Yorkshire, Lord Waleys. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified.
