    Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959, pp. 201-02} He is the 7th Earl of Orkney. John
    S. Wurts, "Magna Charta," p. 2693, states he is "a descendant of Harold,
    Prince of Rogaland, living A.D. 650, and of Auda the Deep-Minded, wife of

    Brusse was Earl of Caithness and Sunderland. {-Carr P. Collins, "Royal
    Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas, 1959), p.226, gives his descent
    to Robert I, King of Scotland 1306-29.} The name is from the town of Bruis
    in France. Brusse was Privy Councillor to King Olaus the Holy, according to
    "The Bruce Journal," 1:4, p. 47.

    Brusse married Gothland, Ostrida of on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Robert left Orkney and went to Normandy. Apparently he accompanied William
    the Conqueror to England, for the Encyclopedia Britannica (1956, 4:280)
    states: "The first Robert de Brus, a follower of William the Conqueror, was
    rewarded by the gift of many manors, chiefly in Yorkshire, of which Skelton
    was the principal." "The Bruce Journal," Vol. 1, No. 4, p. 47, credits him
    with building the castle of la Brusse in Normandy at Brix.

    Robert married Brittany, Emma of on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

  1. 8.  Braose, William de Descendancy chart to this point (7.Robert7, 6.Rognvald6, 5.Brusse5, 4.4, 3.3, 2.I2, 1.I1) was born in 1049 in Brouze, Normandy.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    "One of King William's most favored companions; had numerous manors at Domesday; md Agnes (1040)(2nd mar. for both...), d. of Waldren de St.Clare." {-"Some Early English Pedigrees," Vernon M. Norr (Arlington, VA, 1968, typescript, p. 34, used at
    Library of Congress, 7/89)} Conflicting
    accounts of his parentage exist among genealogists; I have used the reasoning given in "The Bruce Journal," Vol. 1, No. 4 (Fall, 1990), p. 46. William built the great Bramber Castle at Stynning, Sussex; he held the "rape of Bramber." Also see the
    discussion of his identity in "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co, 1994), pp. 35-36.
