  === Life Sketch ===
  Reginald de Braose (19 September 1182 - June 1228) was one of the sons of William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber and Matilda, also known as Maud de St. Valery and Lady de la Haie. Her other children included William and Giles.
  
  The de Braoses were loyal to King Richard I but grew in power under King John of England. The dynasty was in conflict with King John towards the end of his reign and almost lost everything.
  
  Reginald de Braose was a scion of the powerful Marcher family of de Braose, helped manage its survival and was also related by marriage to the Welsh Princes of Wales.
  
  Magna Carta
  He supported his brother Giles de Braose in his rebellions against King John. Both brothers were active against the King in the Baron's War. Neither was present at the signing of Magna Carta in June 1215 because at this time they were still rebels who refused to compromise.
  
  Restoration of royal favour
  King John acquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. Reginald became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and held other Marcher Lordships but was also very much a vassal of the Welsh leader Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd who had become his father-in-law in 1215 when Reginald married Llywelyn's daughter, Gwladus Ddu.
  
  Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated by King John) in 1217.
  
  Welsh wars
  At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's Welsh nephews who were Princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and took Builth, except the castle. Llywelyn Fawr also became angry and his forces besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinhenydd (Swansea).
  
  By 1221 they were at war again, with Llewelyn again laying siege to Builth. The siege was relieved by King Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John de Braose concerning the de Braose lands in Wales.
  
  Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by King Henry III in 1225.
  
  He died two or three years later in 1227 or 1228 in Brecon and was succeeded by his son by his first wife, Graecia Briwere (or Brewer), daughter of William Brewer, 1st Baron Brewer, the ill-fated William de Braose. He was buried in Brecon Priory Church (now Brecon Cathedral).
  
  It may be that the Matilda de Braose who was the wife of Rhys Mechyll, Prince of Deheubarth was the daughter of Reginald.
  
  Sir Reginald de Brewes, Baron of Kington, Lord of Abergavenny, Brecon, Hay, & Radnor married Grace de Briwere, daughter of Sir William de Briwere, Lord Horsley, Sheriff of Devon, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Cornwall, Sussex, Wiltshire, & Gloucestershire and Beatrice de Vaux.
  
  He married Gladys 'the Black', Princess of Wales, daughter of Llywelyn 'the Great', Prince of Gwynedd, Aberffraw, Lord Snowdon and Joan, Princess of England, in 1215; No issue.

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “GRACE BRIWERRE, married (as his 1st wife) REYNOLD DE BREWES (or BREUSE, BRAUSE, BRAOSE), Knt., of Kington, Herefordshire, Bramber, Sussex, also lord of Abergavenny, Brecon, Hay, Radnor, etc., 3rd son of William de Brewes (or Breuse),of Bramber, Sussex, lord of Abergavenny, Brecon, Ower Gwent, seigneur of Briouze, Normandy, etc., by Maud, daughter of Bernard de Saint Valery, Knt.They had one son, William, Knt. He married (2nd) in 1215 GWLADUS DDU OF WALES, daughter of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, Prince of Aberffraw, Lord of Snowdon, by Joan, legitimated daughter of King John of England [see WALES 6 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1217 the king mandated that the justiciary of Ireland grant him seisin of all the lands which belonged to his father in Ireland, including the Castle and city of Limerick In 1218 he was granted half the barony of Tomes, Devon. In 1220 he released the barony of Bramber, Sussex, half the barony of Tomes, Devon, and the manor of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, to his nephew, John de Brewes (son of his elder brother, William), but the Welsh lands at Brecon, Hay, Bergavenny, Radnor, etc., remained with Reynold and his heirs. SIR REYNOLD DE BREWES died shortly before 9 June 1228, and was buried in the Priory church of Brecon. In 1229 his widow, Gwladus, accompanied her brother, David ap Llywelyn, to London. She married (2nd) before 26 October 1230 RALPH DE MORTIMER, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire, etc., Constable of Clun Castle, Shropshire [see MORTIMER 7], younger son of Roger de Mortimer, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, by Isabel, daughter of Walkelin de Ferrers, of Oakham, Rutland, and Lechlade and Longbridge, Gloucestershire. They had four sons, Roger, Knt., Peter, John, clerk, and Hugh, and one daughter, Joan (wife of Peter Corbet, 1st Lord Corbet). Following their marriage, Gwladus' father conceded him the castles of Knighton and Norton, Shropshire, which Llywelyn had in free marriage with Gwladus' mother, Joan, as well as lands in Geri and Cydewen. Ralph was heir in 1227 to his older brother, Hugh de Mortimer. In 1237 Ralph and his wife, Gwladus, sued regarding lands in Knighton and Norton, Shropshire. In 1240 King Henry III granted him seisin of the disputed cantref of Maelienydd, by agreement between the king and Gwladus' brother, David ap Llywelyn. In August 1241 Maredudd ap Hywel and the other Welsh lords of Kerry reserved the right to wage war against Ralph, if he moved against them after their truce with the king. In 1242 he and his wife, Gwladus, sued Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in a plea of land and dower. He fought in Gascony in 1242. RALPH DE MORTIMER died testate 6 August 1246, and was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire. In 1247 his widow, Gwladus, sued John de Gatesdon in a plea of dower in Cotteswood and Laybrook, Sussex. In 1249 Gladus, as widow of Reynold de Breuse, complained that Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, was withholding her dower lands in the burgages of Hay, Breconshire, a mill in Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, the borough of Breckock, Brecknockshire, and a fishery in a river in Blaenllynfi (in Cathedine), Breconshire; the two parties subsequentlycame to an agreement whereby Gwladus should have the third part of the property, as well as damages of 03 2s. In the same term William de Cantelowe the younger sued Gwladus de Mortimer, Maurice de Berkeley, and several others in a writ of a plea of warranty of charter. Gwladus died at Windsor, Berkshire in 1251. She was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire.

He married (2nd) in 1215 GWLADUS DDU OF WALES, daughter of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, Prince of Aberffraw, Lord of Snowdon, by Joan, legitimated daughter of King John of England [see WALES 6 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1217 the king mandated that the justiciary of Ireland grant him seisin of all the lands which belonged to his father in Ireland, including the Castle and city of Limerick In 1218 he was granted half the barony of Tomes, Devon. In 1220 he released the barony of Bramber, Sussex, half the barony of Tomes, Devon, and the manor of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, to his nephew, John de Brewes (son of his elder brother, William), but the Welsh lands at Brecon, Hay, Bergavenny, Radnor, etc., remained with Reynold and his heirs. SIR REYNOLD DE BREWES died shortly before 9 June 1228, and was buried in the Priory church of Brecon. In 1229 his widow, Gwladus, accompanied her brother, David ap Llywelyn, to London. She married (2nd) before 26 October 1230 RALPH DE MORTIMER, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire, etc., Constable of Clun Castle, Shropshire [see MORTIMER 7], younger son of Roger de Mortimer, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, by Isabel, daughter of Walkelin de Ferrers, of Oakham, Rutland, and Lechlade and Longbridge, Gloucestershire. They had four sons, Roger, Knt., Peter, John, clerk, and Hugh, and one daughter, Joan (wife of Peter Corbet, 1st Lord Corbet). Following their marriage, Gwladus' father conceded him the castles of Knighton and Norton, Shropshire, which Llywelyn had in free marriage with Gwladus' mother, Joan, as well as lands in Geri and Cydewen. Ralph was heir in 1227 to his older brother, Hugh de Mortimer. In 1237 Ralph and his wife, Gwladus, sued regarding lands in Knighton and Norton, Shropshire. In 1240 King Henry III granted him seisin of the disputed cantref of Maelienydd, by agreement between the king and Gwladus' brother, David ap Llywelyn. In August 1241 Maredudd ap Hywel and the other Welsh lords of Kerry reserved the right to wage war against Ralph, if he moved against them after their truce with the king. In 1242 he and his wife, Gwladus, sued Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in a plea of land and dower. He fought in Gascony in 1242. RALPH DE MORTIMER died testate 6 August 1246, and was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire. In 1247 his widow, Gwladus, sued John de Gatesdon in a plea of dower in Cotteswood and Laybrook, Sussex. In 1249 Gladus, as widow of Reynold de Breuse, complained that Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, was withholding her dower lands in the burgages of Hay, Breconshire, a mill in Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, the borough of Breckock, Brecknockshire, and a fishery in a river in Blaenllynfi (in Cathedine), Breconshire; the two parties subsequentlycame to an agreement whereby Gwladus should have the third part of the property, as well as damages of 03 2s. In the same term William de Cantelowe the younger sued Gwladus de Mortimer, Maurice de Berkeley, and several others in a writ of a plea of warranty of charter. Gwladus died at Windsor, Berkshire in 1251. She was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire.
