William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William de Brus or William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale was the second son of Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale. His elder brother, Robert III de Brus, predeceased their father and never held the lordship of Annandale. William de Brus thus succeeded his father when the latter died in 1194. Very little is known about William's activities. He makes a few appearances in the English government records and witnesses a charter of King William of Scotland. He married a woman called Christina, and had by her at least two sons, Robert IV de Brus (his successor) and William.
The elder William himself died on July 16, in either 1211 or 1212.
