He married, secondly, Elizabeth Montagu, daughter of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, from 1349 to 10 July 1350.

Cit., 73). According to Gerard, he was buried at Slapton in Devon where he had founded a small priory, and not within his tomb-chest at Tewksbury."

  === Most notable of this Devonshire family ===
  Most notable of this Devonshire family was Guy, Lord Bryan, who bore arms (or, three piles in point, azure) at the siege of Calais. He was summoned to Parliament in 1350, and in 1369, King Edward III conferred upon him the Garter. His ancestry is ascribed to the ancient Counts of Brienne, some of whose offspring are said to have come to England with William the Conqueror. Thus the surname BRYAN appears to be a place-name, derived from Brienne-le-Chateau, which was the capitol of a countship during the time of Hugh Capet, in the former province of Champagne, France. Brienne-le-Chateau is 23 miles N. E. of Troyes, France. He performed important missions and did important military and naval services in the time of Edward III and Richard II. In 1361 he was made Admiral of the King's Fleet, and in 1370 he was elected the 57th Knight of the Garter. Source: The Spear and the Spindle: Ancestors of Sir Francis Bryan: T. A. Fuller, 1993

  === Baron Guy's chief seat was in the march ===
  Baron Guy's chief seat was in the marches of Wales, received command to assist the Earl of Gloucester against the Welch, and in 42nd of the same reign (1216-1272) he had a military summons for similar service. We find him subsequently, however, arrayed under the baronial banner and constituted, after the victory of Lewes, Governor of Castles Cardigan and Kermerdyn in Wales, but he soon afterwards returned to his allegiance to the king and was one of the sureties for Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, in 51st of Henry III, that this nobleman should deport himself peaceably thenceforth, and abide by the dictum of Kenilworth for the redemption of his lands. At the battle of Lewis he was on the part of Simon de Montfort and his rebellious adherents, but Sir Guy de Bryan, also shortly after the battle, made his peace and returned to obedience. This Guy de Bryan married Maud, daughter and sole heir of Henri de Tracy.
