Biography
William (Brus) Bruce IIIrd Lord of Annandale is a member of House of Bruce.
William's date of birth is uncertain, it was likely after 1142. We arent sure if he was second son or the oldest. He was the son of Robert Brus and Euphemia De Aumale. He passed away in 1214. According to the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy, [1] William's wife name was Christina but her surname is not identified. The Book of Bruce [2] also states that her name is unknown.[3]
William de Brus possessed large estates in the north of England. He obtained from King John, the grant of a weekly market at Hartlepool,and granted lands to the canons of Gisburn. Very little else is known about William's activities. He makes a few appearances in the English government records and witnessed a charter of King William of Scotland.
He married a woman called Christina, and had by her at least two sons.

Is peoples Ancestry tree's considered a reliable source?
Beatrice de Teyden needs a profile manager, can someone assist?
edited by Philip Bruce
I don't really need another profile on my watchlist :) but I've adopted the profile of Beatrice de Teyden. I notice I've added a comment sometime ago on this profile, stating that she was the wife of Robert de Brewes, a totally different family then Brus/Bruce, without actually citing a source.
I'm not sure when, but I'll follow that up, and update her profile and propose then that she is disconnected from Sir William Bruce.
Cheers!
