I would love some other sets of eyes looking at this if possible and that this profile should be detached from William de Briouse as his wife.

Agnes May have married into the Bruce Clan.
7. William Sinclair' [18]. born about 1028 Boslin Castle, Seotlaml.
Was founder of the family at
H. Agnea Sinclair', Um\ nlMHit 1030. All wriU*rg agree that »he married the head of the Bruce family in Kugland. Some say it was Philij) Bruce, grandson and heir of William Bruce, Loiti of Breos, Normandy, and of Bramber, County of Sussex, England. This shows a close connection between the Sinclairs and Bruces, for Wil- liam Bruce, just menti«)ned, married a daughter of .lohel Sinclair of Fotness and Barnstapltv. Some say that Agnes Sindaii-* married RolHjrt de Bmis, another of that same gi-eat N<ninan family, so influ- ential and strong in England before it i-eached the throne of vScotland. Bramber, in Sussex, and Brednock, with its castle in Wales, were the earlier homes of the Bruces in Great Britain. Agues was supe- rior to the Bruces in family traditions, in blood, and rank, bnt it was a distinction to be united to so powerful and noble a family. She nmst have been the Lady of Bramber, Sussex, and perhaps of Bi-ed- nock, Wales, or of both. , (History of the Sinclaii-s of England, p. i'.).)
Rough reading, I know. Nevertheless, I think you have something 😉
Thank you! I was doing some d'Estouteville research and stumbled upon this error. I created a new profile for the unknown wife of Anschetil (Unknown-642116) as she is connected to Guillaume de Briouse. Normally I would leave it blank, but the following source provided by FMG says this:
"The charter dated 13 Jan 1103, under which “Philippus de Braosa” confirmed agreement with the abbey of Fécamp witnessed by “ex parte Philippi, Robertus frater eius, Anchetilli filius...”[922], suggests that Anschetil’s widow may have married, as her second husband, Guillaume [I] de Briouse (-[11 Dec 1093/1095])."
Their source is Dugdale Monasticon VI.2, Fécamp, II, p. 1083, which I have added below.
