Many thanks and appreciation for the trouble you have gon e to to give us the synopsis of the Blakely article.

In a nutshell, primary evidence from charters firmly place s Juetta as mother of Peter de Brus and Isabel de Brus. Jue tta also had a daughter by Roger de Flamville called Agnes , who married William de Percy, Lord of Kildale, Yorks. d . bef 1203, who was a tenant of the Brus family in Ormesby . Agnes married secondly John Birkin and made a grant to Gi sborough Priory "for the good of the soul of both my husban ds". Agnes' son, Walter de Percy, as heir to his uncle Hug h de Flamville, still living in 1210 [Pipe Roll 11 John, p . 123], who died without issue, confirmed a gift his mothe r had made to Basedale Priory and a gift his uncle Hugh d e Flamville made to Rievaulx Abbey.[VCH Yorkshire North Rid ing, v.2, p.250]. Walter de Percy was heir to his uncle o f a moiety of Flamville, Friton and Holthorpe which indicat es that Roger and Juetta probably had another daughter. How ever, regarding the Arches inheritance, Juetta's son Pete r de Brus, was her male heir after the death of Hugh de Fla mville. Peter's son, Peter de Brus II was recorded as holdi ng the 7 fees in 1224-30. [Clay, 'Early Yorkshire Families ' p.2]
