About William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale
Note from Curator Pam Wilson (Dec 2017): Some disagreement exists about his wife or wives. Cokayne's Peerage gives his wife's name as Beatrice de Tayden, daughter of Paulinus de Teyden and Beatrice de Evermure. However, Cawley (see below) provides primary documents that name his wife as Christina and which name her as a sister to Eva (wife of Robert de Quincy) and Roland, which makes her a daughter of Uchtred of Galloway. After William's death, Christina married Patrick Earl of Dunbar. Cawley accepts Christina as William's only wife and mother of his children. I've placed all children as Christina's but have left Beatrice as a possible wife.
