| 1 | Umar ibn al-Khattab (592-644) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Second of the four "rightly guided" caliphs. Umar was born in Mecca around 581 to the Adi clan of the Quraish tribe. Umar belonged to a family of average class, but he was able to become literate, and was well known for his physical strength, becoming a champion wrestler. When Muhammad first declared his message of Islam, Umar believed Islam was heretical rhetoric against the Quraish and his ancestors, and he resolved to kill Muhammad. He was stopped on his way to Muhammad's house, however, with news of his sister's conversion to Islam. Umar was initially angered by the news, but after reading some of the Quran he was instantly changed. Rather than killing Muhammad, he determined to accept Islam. Umar was part of the first emigration to Medina, and became an important companion of Muhammad. He participated in all of the Muslim battles against the Quraish. Upon the death of Muhammad, Umar was in such a state of despair that he threatened to decapitate anyone who said that Muhammad was dead. Abu Bakr became the first successor to Muhammad. During Abu Bakr's short reign as caliph, Umar was an important advisor to him, and Abu Bakr selected Umar as his successor prior to his death. Umar reigned as caliph from 633 until his assassination in 644. Umar's time as caliph saw the Islamic empire grow at an unprecedented rate, taking Iraq and parts of Iran from the Sassanids, and thereby ending that empire, and taking Egypt, Palestine, Syria, North Africa and Armenia from the Byzantines. Umar also codified Islamic law, and was known for his simple lifestyle and modest living. A famous story tells of him arriving in Jerusalem walking beside his camel upon which his servant was sitting. Umar was murdered in 644 by a Persian slave who was angered by a personal quarrel with Umar; he stabbed the caliph six times as Umar led prayers in Masjid al Nabawi. Umar died two days later, and is buried alongside Muhammad and Abu Bakr. Prior to dying, he appointed a council of six men to elect his successor from amongst themselves, chosing Uthman ibn Affan. Umar is most recognized for originating most of the major political institutions of the Muslim state and stabilizing the rapidly expanding Arab empire. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Sources: Saudi Aramco World, (January-February 2002); Wikipedia | Ibn Al-Khattab, Umar (I74930)

| 2 | A village of Buchan in Aberdeenshire, Inverugie lies on the River Ugie, a mile north-west of Peterhead. The lands of Inverugie were granted by William the Lyon to Bernard le Cheyne whose descendants Reginald and his brother Henry respectively became chamberlain of Scotland and Bishop of Aberdeen. The original castle of the Cheynes, which lay on the coast at the mouth of the Ugie, was visited by Thomas the Rhymer who prophesied "Inverugie by the sea, Lordless shall thy landis be". Closer to the village a castle, whose motte still survives, was built in the 14th century and completed by the 5th Earl Marischal who founded Marischal College in Aberdeen. | Le Cheyne, Bernard (I71333)

| 5 | The following two posts to soc.genealogy.medieval indicate that the "accepted" order of wives for Adam I & II de Brus should actually be reversed: From: Rosie Bevan (rbevan@paradise.net.nz) Subject: Re: Domesday Descendants corrections: Harcourt & Brus Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-06-05 18:38:09 PST Domesday Descendants [p.354, 355] has listed Adam I de Brus of Skelton(d.1142) as married to Agnes of Aumale, and Adam II Brus (d.1196) as married to Juetta de Arches. This is in variance with Farrer's observations in vol. 3 of Early Yorkshire Charters in which the opposite placement is upheld. The situation is not helped by CP which claims [VII : 670] that Agnes of Aumale married William de Roumare and secondly Piers de Brus. A study of the chronology tends to support K-R's findings. Juetta de Arches married Roger de Flamville (d.1169) who held the 7 Arches knights' fees in her right in 1166. [Charles Clay (ed.) 'Early Yorkshire Families', p.2]. She had children by de Flamville but the fees eventually descended to Peter de Brus II indicating that her Brus children were her eventual heirs, not the Flamville ones. Her children by Roger Flamville were in the custody of Adam II during their minority. Adam II is known to have had two children - Piers and Isabel who married Henry de Percy. In 1193 Juetta gave land in Askham to her daughter Isabel de Brus. The charter clearly says "Noveritis me concessisse et presenti carta confirmasse Isabelle de Brus filie mee et heredibus suis totam terram de Ascham..." Farrer uncharacteristically makes the error of assuming that Isabella was her granddaughter [EYC I ; no. 548, 549]. As Juetta died in 1206, she would have had to have been nearly 90 had she been mother of Adam II de Brus (b 1134). A not impossible achievement, but highly unlikely for the time and place. ---------------------------------------- From: Cristopher Nash (c@windsong.u-net.com) Subject: Re: Domesday Descendants corrections: Harcourt & Brus Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-06-08 04:13:25 PST Now I can quickly summarize the argument of Ruth Blakely, 'The Bruses of Skelton and William of Aumale' in _Yorks Archeol Jnl_ (2001) 73:19-28, which appears to be the clincher leading Keats-Rohan in DD to reverse the traditional order of two early Brus marriages, giving (1) the wife of Adam I de Brus as Agnes d'Aumale and (2) the wife of Adam II de Brus as Juetta de Arches. Blaklely's article is devoted specifically to this double question. On Juetta de Arches: The conventional account, Blakely says, derives from Dugdale in _Baronage of England_, in which he cites as evidence a papal mandate cited in _Mon. Ang._, where in fact Blakely finds that "It is not apparant from this record which of the two Adams is signified. Nor are they named in any of the other sources which Dugdale cites....His reasons for naming Adam I rather than Adam II as Juetta's husband are therefore obscure. Despite this ambiguity, the identification was accepted by William Farrer and subsequent writers, such as Wormald, Greenway and Clay, although some of them, like Dalton, have noted inconsistencies arising from it" [18-20]. Blakely's argument takes as its starting point an alternative account by William Brown, who -- giving Juetta as wife of Adam II -- in 1895 had cited records in the chartulary of Healaugh Park Priory. Here 2 grants appear, made by Adam II's son Peter de Brus I to the canons of the priory in the Arches fee. In one, Peter refers to his mother as 'Juetta', and in the other specifically as 'Juetta de Arches'. Blakely cites further evidence e.g. that Adam II's daughter, Isabella, is granted land from the Arches fee ca. 1192 by Juetta who calls her 'my daughter' [22-3]. Blakely then offers an ample and concerted explanation as to why, nevertheless, William, count of Aumale (eventually Earl of York per K. Stephen), and bro of Agnes d'Aumale, acquired custody of Adam II in the latter's minority (22-25). (Essentially he, as Adam II's maternal uncle, had immediate strong political reasons for seeking some control over the large Brus domain.) Blakely's conclusion is that Juetta de Arches, da. and ultimately sole heir of William de Arches and widow of Roger de Flamville and still living 1209, is certainly the wife of Adam II de Brus. An important aspect of Blakely's argument is that this reconstruction of the 4 marriages of Juetta and Agnes resolves a number of problems that have long dogged the Brus genealogy. A useful part of its development is a thoughtful assessment of the historical (inter-family political/economic) background to these events. Rosie, I think when your interloan copy gets to you you'll find that the article parallels a good part of your smart chronological case, and yours may in fact lend it further support. | D'arches, Juetta (I70338)
