Family notes:
·
“Agnes” d/o Comte Etienne de Blois d'Aumâle
& Hawise de Mortimer, 1st married to the Earl of Lincoln
(d.1151) is generally given as Peters wife. This “Agnes” [the original and only
source for this does not name “Agnes”, and gives no indication that she married
an “earl”] does not fit the timeline. There are other reasons against her being
Peter’s wife presented in (S) Annals and Antiquities of Lacock Abbey, Bowles,
1835, P76.
Children of Peter and Agnes:
i. Peter de Brus (23641014), born bef. 1198 in England.
ii. Agnes de Brus, born ? in England.
