Title: Isabel, wife of Robert de Brus
Post by: castlebob on Thursday 28 March 24 09:59 GMT (UK)

Can anyone tell me the year that Robert de Brus (4th Lord of Annandale) wed Isabel, sister of John, earl of Huntingdon, please? Also, does anyone know the year Isabel was born, and John, her brother?
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks, Carole.
I've looked at John of Fordun's 14th C Chronicle which puts the marriage before 1219. Others, including Stringer, put it as early as 1210. Both these dates fit in with my line of research.
Cheers,
Bob

John Earl of Huntingdon was younger than his sister Isabel.  He was born around 1206/07.  He died in 1237.
