Notes |
- "The de Vauxs came from Normandy with William the Conqueror and weregranted land first at Pentney in England. Then Hubert, the elder brothergained land at Gilsland in Cumbria and built the motte castles atBrampton and Irthington. The motte at Brampton still stands high over thetown but is now wooded over. The nearby Lanercost Priory was founded bythe de Vauxs. The second brother, John, came to Dirleton in Scotland andalso helped to found an abbey, at Dryburgh in the Borders. The close tiesbetween the two branches of the family included the grant of lands aroundDirleton to the abbey at LanercoSt In less settled times however, Robertof Gilsland in Cumbria had custody of his cousin John of Dirleton, whowas being held by King John as guarantee for 'good behaviour' of theScottish King."
