385:. It has also been reported that he married twice to both of the above women. More modern research has revealed that both of these wives are unsubstantiated. Evidence from charters involving Robert de Brus indicates that his wife Agnes was an heiress of the Surdeval family. Her exact parentage is not known, she may have been an unrecorded daughter of Richard de Sourdeval, who held many manors in the Yorkshire region. Alternatively, she may have been a daughter of either Richard's son Robert, or his daughter Matilda Maude de Sourdeval who married Ralph (Radulf) Paynel, Sheriff of Yorkshire.

and his children. Robert’s son, Adam de Brus, Second Lord of
Skelton, would be buried there in 1143, and his son Robert, Second Lord of Annandale, would be buried there after his death in 1194. Both the Scottish and English sides of the family would be laid to rest there, the last being Robert de Brus, Fifth Lord of Annandale in 1295. Eventually a great Cenotaph would be placed there honoring the Brus Family and commemorating its most famous descendant King Robert Bruce (Brus) of Scotland.
632:, Edinburgh, 1970: 19, "David by the grace of God King of Scots, to all his barons, men, and friends, French and English, greeting. Know ye that I have given and granted to Robert de Brus Estrahanent (i.e: Annandale) and all the land from the boundary of Randolph Meschin; and I will and grant that he should hold and have that land and its castle well and honourably with all its customs," &c. This is a new charter and not a reconfirmation."
477:, but a manuscript history names Peter de Brus (an otherwise attested unspecified relative who may be another son or a much younger brother of the 1st Lord of Annandale) as Agnes's husband instead. He is specifically listed as her second husband after de Roumare, who died in 1151. A marriage between Adam and Agnes is only plausible under an assumption that the source is confused on both Adam's name and the timing of the marriage.

Robert de Brus of Annandale could not countenance these actions and as a result he and King David parted company, with Robert bitterly renouncing his homage to David before taking the English side at the

Robert de Brus died on 11 May 1141 at
Skelton Castle in Yorkshire, England. As the founder of Gisborough Priory, he was buried inside the church, in the place of honour between the Canon’s stalls in the Quire. Priory histories record his death and his burial there. He was survived by his wife Agnes,

Before the battle, Robert had made an impassioned plea to David, calling to his remembrance how he and other
Normans had by their influence in Scotland, as far back as 1107, obliged King Alexander to give a part of the Scottish Kingdom to his brother David. The appeal was in vain. Robert, and his

It is said that Robert had been given some 80 manors in
Yorkshire by King Henry. It is evident that Robert kept up his connections with other Normans too. A member of the Feugères family, of Feugères, Calvados, arr. Bayeux, canton of Isigny, witnessed charters of this Robert de Brus circa 1135 in

From 1109 to 1114, he appears in early charters in possession of numerous other manors and lands in
Yorkshire, and in the same period he attested a charter of Henry I issued at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. He appears in the Lindsey Survey made 1115–1118 in possession of even further lands. There is a
