Archaeologia Aeliana, 3rd ser. 1 (1904): 30–106, and, more recently, Todd, Lanercost Cartulary (Surtees Soc. 203) (1997): 349, Foundations 2 (1) (2006): 54–73, and Double Tressure 29 (2006): 77–82 have alleged that Christian de Ireby and her 1st husband, Thomas de Lascelles, Knt., had a daughter and heiress, Ermina [or Erminia], wife of John de Seton, Knt., of Seton (in Hinderwell) and Southburn (in Kirkburn), Yorkshire, and Skelton, Cumberland. Ermina de Seton in turn is identified in print as the mother of Christopher de Seton, Knt., of Seton (in Hinderwell), Yorkshire, Kirkandrews and Skelton, Cumberland, etc., who was drawn and hanged in 1306 by King Edward I of England for having taking the side of King Robert I de Brus. Sir Christopher de Seton was the husband of Christian de Brus, the sister of King Robert I de Brus.

Christian de Ireby is better known in history circles as the second wife of Robert de Brus, Knt. (died 1295), lord of Annandale in Scotland, who is usually called Robert de Brus the Competitor or the Claimant. Contemporary evidence indicates that at the time of her death in 1305, Christian de Ireby died without surviving issue, her heirs being listed in an inquisition taken 14 Sept. 1305 as being Joan, wife of Roger de Edneham, aged 30, Joan, wife of Robert de Hodelstone, aged 28, Christian, wife of John de Farlame, aged 26, and Isabel, wife of Hugh de Bochardby, aged 25 [see Archaeologia Aeliana, 3rd ser. 1 (1904): 54, footnote 5 (available at this weblink: http://books.google.com/books?id=Du8VAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA54&dq=Robert+Hod...); Parker, Pipe Rolls of Cumberland & Westmorland 1222–1260 (Cumberland & Westmorland Antiq. & Arch.
