PIERS DE ROS, a feudal Baron whose parentage is unknown, probably derived his 
name from Ros in Holderness, Yorks (East Riding). He was steward (dapifer) of the 
Count of Aumale, lord of Holderness. He gave 2 carucates of land in Gilling, near 
Helmsley, and the church to St. Mary's Abbey, York.

He married Adeline, youngest of the 3 sisters and coheirs of Walter ESPEC, LORD OF 
HELMSLEY, &c., Yorks, and of Wark, Northumberland, founder of 3 monasteries---
Kirkham (1122) and Rievaulx (1131) in Yorks, and Wardon, Beds (1135). Piers 
predeceased Walter Espec and was presumably dead in 1130. His widow also died 
before her brother. [Complete Peerage XI:90, transcribed by Dave Utzinger]

"That Peter, the ancestor of this great and noble family," says Dugdale, "did originally 
assume his surname in the time of Henry I from that lordship in Holderness called Ros, 
where he then had his residence, needeth not to be doubted." This Peter de Ros, or 
Roos, a feudal baron, m. Adeline, one of the sisters and co-heirs of the famous Walter 
Espec, Lord of the manor of Helmesley, called sometimes Helmeslac, but oftener 
Hamlake, in the north riding of Yorkshire, and was s. at his decease by his son, 
Robert de Ros. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages,
