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.

"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.

"The Bruce Journal," Vol. 1, No. 4 (Fall, 1990), p. 46 - the lines in this
