*The link between the de Brienne’s and the following generations of Guy de Brian’s has been hard to completely establish.  There are sources that state the de Brian’s of Tor Bryan, Devon, England are of relation to the de Brienne’s but often in history it is found that names alone do not correlate ancestry.  Tracing a family back into a time frame where written records are non existent means you have to take their validity with some reserve.

There is also some confusion as to the actual line of Guy de Brian’s.  It is accurate that they are part of this family line.  The problem lies that in many historical records there are seven different Guy de Brian’s of which many of the birth dates and dates of death overlap making it hard to distinguish which were father/son and which could have been brothers.

*The line as it continues past the de Brian’s and into the modern English Bryan the relationship is solid in that their record of service to the king and to their claim to Tor Bryan, Devon, England continues between the two names.  The drop of the use of ‘de’ is most likely associated with a change in society whereby a person was no longer thought to be ‘of’ or ‘de’ and instead became part of the families name with out relation to their residence.  So as the Bryan’s were from Tor Bryan (or town of Bryan) they were considered ‘de’ Bryan until society changed their reasoning for a persons last name.
