All three Gracie defeats were in Pride events. Royce threw in the towel after fighting for close to an hour and a half (he hurt his foot). Renzo was beaten by some arm lock-hurt his elbow pretty bad, I think. Ryan (Renzo's bro) last a decision.

Royler Gracie at Pride 8 - Ref Stoppage after Sak had a Kimura on Royler. Gracie camp was pissed off because Royler didn't tap. 2 minutes were left in the fight and had the fight gone the distance it would've have been a draw. Not that Sak wasn't kicking his ass, but there was no judges.
Royce Gracie at Pride GP Finals - This is one of my favorite fights although I've also heard people comment that its the most boring fight EVER. Anyway, Sak was winning but Royce put up a great fight. The last few rounds were mostly Sak however as he humiliated Royce using Royce's Gi against him. Sak broke Royce's foot after kicking him so many times in the leg while Royce was but scooting. Royce through in the towel after I believe 6 rounds. At 20 minutes a round, you can tell this fight was LONG.
Renzo Gracie at Pride 10 - Another great fight, they were even in the first round but near the end Sak just confused the hell out of Renzo it looked like. The next round was more of the same for Sak. With a few minutes left in the fight, Renzo had to do something or he would lose a judge's decision. One mistake led to Sak breaking Renzo's arm with a Kimura. Renzo tapped out after it as a sign of respect.
Ryan Gracie at Pride 12 - Didn't see it, but it was just one 10 minute round. Ryan was also injured before the fight although Sak says he thinks he faked it. Sort of a pointless fight it looked like. I didn't care to see it
I got the Pride GP 2000 DVD from Amazon.com for $29.99 I think (Sherdog has it for $40 or $50).
2 disk set. Kicks ass. I couldn't believe that Sak rolled with Royce for 90 minutes and THEN got in the ring and hung with IGOR for another 15 minutes!!
