FitzAlan

This FitzAlan line held the manor of Bedale in Richmondshire, Yorkshire, and claimed descent from Conan II, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond. Its head, Sir Bryan FitzAlan, also held Killerby, where he received a licence to crenellate in 1291.

That year Edward I named him one of the Guardians of Scotland during the succession dispute. From 1295 he was summoned to parliament as Lord FitzAlan. His sons by his first wife died young; by his second wife Maud de Balliol, sister of King John Balliol, he left only daughters.

When Bryan died in 1306 the male line became extinct. Agnes married Sir Gilbert Stapleton and was grandmother of Sir Miles Stapleton, a founder of the Order of the Garter in 1348; Katherine married Sir John de Grey. Bedale passed through the two heiresses to the Stapleton and Grey families.
