"Licence to Robert (sic) le Brun to crenellate his dwelling-house (mansum suum) of Drombogh, co. Cumberland, in the Marches of Scotland."
Granted at Cumnock, by privy seal.
This licence is occasional mis-attributed to Brougham Hall. I suspect that the original Patent Roll is a particularly difficult document to transcribe which may also explain the Richardus - Robertus transcriptions. Richard seems correct. One of three licences of this date given to lords in Cumberland shortly after Edward I death at Burgh-by-Sands on 7 July, this effectively marked the end of this Scottish campaign. Licence given as a reward and possibly as a preparation against a Scottish counter-campaign.

(In fact, the original source given is usually a transcription/translation of what are precious medieval documents not readily availably. It should be noted that these transcription/translations often date to the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries and that unwitting bias of transcribers may affect the translation. Care should also be taken to avoid giving modern meaning to the medieval use of certain stock words and terms.)
Significant later source are;
Richard le Brun (1259-1312/13), in 1302 keeper of the March of Scotland.
