Nicknamed "Tadody" by the Welsh when he was hidden in Gower as a child after King John had his father and grandmother killed. He was later in the custody of Engelard de Cigogny (castellan of Windsor) along with his brother Giles. Cigogny was ordered to give the two boys up to William de Harcourt in 1214. At this time John became separated from his brother. He was present at the signing of the Magna Charta in 1215.
John disputed his uncle Reginald's claim to the Braose lands, sometimes resorting to arms. Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, helped him to secure Gower (1219). In 1221, with the advice and permission of Llewelyn, he repaired his castle of Abertawy (Swansea). He purchased the Rape of Bramber from Reginald and his son William in 1226. In that year John confirmed the family gifts to Sele Priory, near Bramber, and to the Abbey of St FLorent, Saumur, and added others. After the death of Reginald (1228) he became Lord of Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle, the three Marcher castles, by charter from the king but he lost these in 1230 to Hugh de Burgh at the same time as Gower became a subtenancy of de Burgh's Honour of Carmarthen and Cardigan.

=== John de Braose, lord of Bramber, Gower ===
John de Braose, lord of Bramber, Gower and Tetbury fell from his horse at Bramber in 1232. The Brut y Tywysogyon says he "was drawn at his own horse's tail; and so he met a cruel death". But the barons de Braose had not disappeared from history. John had a son to succeed him. John's heir, William, was only twelve. In spite of his Welsh mother's efforts to keep her children, she was overruled. Royal favourites valued the granting of aristocratic wardships because it placed additional domains within their power, albeit temporarily. William became a ward of Henry III's chief minister, Peter de Rivaux. But within two years a warrent was out for Peter's arrest and his fall was imminent. The king demanded the return of Peter's ward and the surrender of the de Braose lands. Peter de Rivaux flatly refused and sent a message to say that William de Braose was too ill at present. The king's messenger reported, however, that "he had found the youth sound and well, riding a large black Spanish horse, with Peter, from the town of Rosse towards London." William was finally placed in the wardship of the king's brother, Richard of Cornwall. He was raised at Henry's court and was probably introduced to his first wife there. She was another royal ward and heiress, Alina de Moulton. When he came of age, the young lord met with a barrage of law suits from the women of the family, including his mother and sister. Later the children and relatives of his three wives added further claims for a portion of the de Braose inheritance. William was removed from the turmoil of his family's earlier history and became a committed royalist. His Welsh roots were forgotten and even relations with his mother appear to have deteriorated. She married Walter de Clifford and the couple issued several claims against William arising from her first marriage. William was called to answer charges that he seized his mother's goods as they were transported towards Chichester and imprisoned her men. See William for more info. ###

John de Braose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John de Braose (born 1197 or 1198 – July 18, 1232), known as Tadody tothe Welsh, was the Lord of Bramber and Gower.
Junior branch of the de Braose dynasty
He was the second of the line of the junior branch of the de Braosedynasty.
His father was William de Braose, son of William de Braose, 7th BaronAbergavenny, and his mother was Matilda de Clare, also known as Maud,(born 1175 in Lincoln) daughter of Richard de Clare, 4th Earl ofHertford of Tonbridge Castle in Kent. John was their eldest son andone of four brothers, the others being Giles, Phillip and Walter deBraose.
Royal threat
His father had had had his lands seized and his mother had beencaptured by forces of King John of England in 1210, imprisoned inWindsor Castle and probably starved to death on the King's orders.This was due to John's grandfather's conflict with the monarch, openrebellion and subsequent alliance with Llewelyn the Great. John'snickname Tadody means "fatherless" in the Welsh.
Hiding and imprisonment
At his family's fall from Royal favour John de Braose was initiallyhidden on Gower and spent some time in the care of his uncle Giles deBraose, Bishop of Hereford, but finally in 1214 John and his youngerbrother Philip were taken into custody. They were imprisoned untilKing John had died, the throne passing to Henry III. John was releasedfrom custody in 1218.
Welsh intermarriage
In 1219 he married Margaret Ferch Llywelyn, (born about 1202 inCaernarvonshire), daughter of the leader of Wales Llywelyn Fawr andhis English wife Joan Plantagenet also known as Joan, Lady of Wales,and he received the Lordship of Gower as her dowry with Llywelyn'sblessing.
In 1226 another surviving uncle Reginald de Braose sold him the titleof Lord of Bramber, and he inherited more lands and titles when thisuncle died a few years later in 1228.
He and Margaret his Welsh wife had three sons, his heir, William deBraose the eldest son, John and Richard (born about 1225 in Stinton,Norfolk) the youngest, (buried in Woodbridge Priory, Suffolk) havingdied before June 1292.
Death and legacy
In 1232 John was killed in a fall from his horse on his land inBramber, Sussex at 34 years of age. William de Braose (born about1230) (died 1291 in Findon, Sussex), his eldest son, succeeded him inthe title of Lord of Bramber. John the younger son became Lord of themanor of Corsham in Wiltshire and also later Lord of Glasbury on Wye.
William de Braose (1230 - 1291) also had a son, named William deBraose (born 1274 in Bramber, Sussex / dying "shortly before 1st May1326".
Another William de Braose who became Bishop of Llandaff cannot beplaced with certainty in this branch of the family.
The de Braose name modified to de Brewes in the Middle Ages 1200 to1400.

He was later in the custody of Engelard de Cigogny (castellan of Windsor) along with his brother Giles. Cigogny was ordered to give the two boys up to William de Harcourt in 1214. At this time John became separated from his brother. He was present at the signing of the Magna Charta in 1215.
John disputed his uncle Reginald's claim to the Braose lands, sometimes resorting to arms. Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, helped him to secure Gower (1219). In 1221, with the advice and permission of Llewelyn, he repaired his castle of Abertawy (Swansea). He purchased the Rape of Bramber from Reginald and his son William in 1226. In that year John confirmed the family gifts to Sele Priory, near Bramber, and to the Abbey of St FLorent, Saumur, and added others. After the death of Reginald (1228) he became Lord of Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle, the three Marcher castles, by charter from the king but he lost these in 1230 to Hugh de Burgh at the same time as Gower became a subtenancy of de Burgh's Honour of Carmarthen and Cardigan.

Joan de Braose, surnamed Tadody, had been privately nursed by a Welsh woman at Gower. This John had grants of lands from King Henry III and was also possessed of the Barony of Brembye, in Sussex, where he died in 1231, by a fall from his horse, his foot sticking in the stirrup. He married, it is stated, Margaret, dau. of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, by whom (who m. afterwards Walter de Clifford) he had a son, his successor, William de Braose.

The second edition Ordnance Survey map (1899) shows ‘Pant Câd-Einion Site of Battle (A.D.982)’ at SS 9494 8059. This is absent from the first edition map of 1877. The battle was likely added on the basis of material found in the unreliable Gwentian Brutforged by Iolo Morgannwg in the 1790s.
