Peter I de Brus, Lord of Skelton

Source: The Brus Family in England and Scotland 1100-1195 by Ruth Margaret Blakely Boydell Press 2005 which can be found on Google Books.

Peter inherited the barony of Skelton 1196-8 and his lack of insight brought him into heavy debt. His debts and rebellion against King John could have brought about his downfall but he survived the turmoil and set and example that his son and grandson would follow. Initially he had been a faithful follower of the king, accompanying him to Normandy. Peter was given his first chance to rejuvenate the Skelton barony and buy back the vill and forest of Danby which he did for 1,000 pds. Later he would obtain a position of greater importance than his father or grandfather by purchasing the farm at Wapentake in Lambaurgh in 1207. It encompassed the whole tenant of Cleveland. He became further disillusioned by King John when he abrogated the Magna Carta, for in 1217, he was in open rebellion with those who opposed the king. He fled Skelton Castle shortly is was taken by the monarch's forces. After King John's death, Peter had Skelton Castle and his lands restored to him by Henry III.

Son of Adam de Brus and Ivetta de Arches
