      The “Fauconberg” family connection


      Following the death of Peter de Brus III in 1272, his four sisters became co-heiresses of the de Brus estates. Agnes, the eldest, married Walter de Fauconberg and took, as her share, the manors of Skelton, Marske, Upleatham and Kirkleatham. Lucia, the second sister, married Marmaduke de Thweng taking with her the manors of Yarm, Danby and Brotton. Margaret, the third sister, married Robert de Ross and had, as her share, the barony of Kendall; whilst Laderina, the youngest, married John de Bellew and had for her share the lordship of Carlton amongst other holdings. Thus the estate was split up and Skelton Castle passed into the hands of…
      Walter de Fauconberg (died 1304) = Agnes de Brus

      The estates now passed in direct line through the Fauconbergs.
      Walter de Fauconberg (died 1318)
