• Notes

  He went to England in 1050 as attendent to Queen Emma https://archive.org/stream/bookofbruceances00week/bookofbruceances00week_djvu.txt Adelme or Adam de Brusee, son of the preceding, came into England in 1050, in attendance upon Emma of Normandy, who was a daughter of Richard I. of Normandy by his wife Gonnor, and became the Queen of Ethelred, King of England. After the death of Queen Emma he went to Scotland, to which country he was naturally attracted by the family connection that existed through his ancestors of six and seven generations before, the earls of Orkney, Shetland, Gathanes, and Sutherland. When William the Conqueror came to England de Brusee joined the army of the invader, and after the conquest he received the barony of Skelton and the lordship of Cleveland as a reward for his services. Of all the Yorkshire manors the chief was that of Skelton in Cleveland, near Whitby. This became the seat of the elder or English branch of the Bruce family. Adam de Brusee died before the fourteenth year of the reign of William I., 1080. He married Emma, daughter of Sir William Ramsay. Issue: 1. Robert de Brusee, of whom below. 2. William de Brusee, who was the first prior of Guisburn. He died in 1155. 3. Duncan. A lord in Scotland. 4. Rosselina, who married Walter Moreville, constable of Scotland.
