I have as the children of William de Braose and Maud de St. Valery

William=Matilda de Clare
Giles, Bishop of Hereford
Maud=Gruffudh ap Rhys
Reginald=Gwladys Dhu of Wales
Eleanor=Hugh de Mortimer
John=Margred verch Llewellyn

I have also seen a listing sans John, but adding

Loretta=Robert de Beaumont
Margaret=Walter de Lacy

The Margery/Margaret m. Walter de Lacy [1172-1241] and Loretta m. Robert Fitz-
Parnell [Earl of Leicester] as daughters of the above John & Margred.

Any clarification appreciated.

Always optimistic-- Dave

I know this line has been going on for a while but...

Could the DE BROUSE surname also have been spelled DE BREWSE?

I have a loose end in the 1400's that shows a William DE BREWSE of Wenham
Hall, Suffolk. His daughter, Anne DE BREWSE b: 1474 married a Sir Roger
TOWNSHEND of East Raynham.

Your genealogical references are a bit confused here. The John (m
Margaret verch Llewelyn in 1219) you mention is the son of William de
Braose (d 1211 at Windsor, starved to death by King John) who was the
son of William and Maud St Valery. Loretta and Margaret (m Walter de
Lacy) are his aunts!

These two sisters both played important roles in the political history
of their time.

Margaret and Walter sheltered the de Braose family at their home in
Meath when they were being pursued by King John. The de Braoses and
the de Lacys, allied with Prince Llewelyn were in rebellion through
this period.

Loretta was the great-aunt of the Simon de Montfort who led the
barons' rebellion against Henry III, finally defeated at the battle of
Evesham (1265). She lived to great age as a religious recluse at
Hackington in Kent. She was approached by this Simon in1264 to give
information on the "rights and liberties" attached to the stewardship
of England. This post had once been held by Loretta's husband, Robert
de Beaumont, and had then descended to Simon de Montfort.

More details of the family can be found on my web-site.

Ken,

The genealogy sources are incorrect here. This connection between de
Braose and de Brus is totally spurious. William's father is unknown.
The only fact known about his mother is that her name was Gonnor and
she held lands around Bavent, Rouvres, etc. which she had donated to a
religious foundation. Her name is given in a confirmation of this
gift by Henry II at a later date. (see Calendar of Documents Preserved
in France - J H Round. 1899)

You are also confusing the many Williams de Braose. Check out the
web-site for clarification.

Yes! There are many variants of the spelling of the name. The earlier
ones were Braosa, finally settling down to Brewes in the 15th
century. Your William is the great-great-great-great-great- grandson
of the John de Braose discussed in the recent posts on this thread.
