Forthcoming book on the Brus family

Legg inn av Chris Phillips » 20 feb 2005 15:16:50

People may be interested to know about this forthcoming book, due to be
published in November:
"The Brus Family in England and Scotland, 1100-1295"
Ruth M. Blakely

From the website of the publishers, Boydell and Brewer:
" 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
both kings 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. It will thus 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."

I don't, but the IHR website shows her thesis on the same subject, dated
2000 at Durham University. Her supervisor was Professor Robin F. Frame, so
I'd guess he could put you in contact with her.

Thanks Rick for sharing this information. Much appreciated. Sounds
like an interesting volume.

Due to the way google now handles e-mail addresses, it didn't present
part of Ruth Blakely's e-mail address I posted. So I'll post Ruth
Blakely's e-mail address again with spaces before and after the "@"

In other words, with a normal newsfeed, the address is coming through
with no distortion, though it may be distorted when you read this
through Google.

It looks like Google is doing something to stop spam grabbing machinery
from copying addresses from Google's copy of the news archives.
