Survey of the activities of one of the most important cross-Border
families, the ancestors of Robert the Bruce. Robert de Brus, the
"conquisitor of Cleveland, Hartness and Annandale", who came into
England among the followers of Henry I, was also a close companion
and mentor of David I, king of Scots. The lands he acquired from
bothkings were divided between his sons, from whom two lines
descended: the lords of Skelton, influential Northerners who played
an active part during the baronial troubles in the reigns of John
and Henry III, and the prominent cross-Border lords of Annandale,
co-heirs of the substantial Chester and Huntingdon estates and
progenitors of King Robert Bruce. This study takes a fresh approach
to the Brus family by assessing the achievements of the two lines
in parallel while examining the extent of their power and the
development of their lordships; it highlights the inter-relations
between the barons of England and Scotland during two hundred years
of comparative peace between the kingdoms. Of additional interest
is the appendix of an extensive handlist of charters of the Brus
family of both lines. It will be a welcome addition to the existing
body of works on English baronial families and on Anglo-Scottish
cross-Border lords of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
