; Guillaume de Briouze is recorded in lists of those present at the Battle of Hastings. He became the first Lord of Bramber Rape by 1073 and built Bramber Castle. (Right - remains of the gatehouse) William made considerable grants to the abbey of Saint Florent, Saumur to endow the foundation of Sele Priory near Bramber and a priory at Briouze. He continued to fight alongside King William in the campaigns in Britain, Normandy and Maine.

The latest evidence for William is his presence at the consecration of his church at Briouze in 1093. In 1096 his son Philip was isuing charters. From this we can deduce that William died between 1093 and 1096.

Father: Uncertain.

Mother: Gunnor (See Round, Cal. Doc. Fra. p148)

Brydges edition of Collins' Peerage claims he was first married to Agnes, dau of Waldron de Saint Clare but no evidence for this can be found. It may be an example of Bruce - Braose confusion.

According to L C Perfect, a 13th century genealogy in the Bibliothèque de Paris gives the name of his wife as Eve de Boissey, widow of Anchetil de Harcourt. There is a lot of evidence from contemporary charters which supports this view.

kt., of Blaxhall, Middleton, Swilland[1] and Ashbocking, Suffolk & c.[11]

received from his father in 1287
'...all his Irish lands plus his Suffolk manor of Middleton, evidently in
anticipation of his marriage to Mary, the daughter of Richard and Mary de
Braose.'[12]

the Irish lands referred to are identified in grant of 1303, cited by Rosie
Bevan:
'32 Edw I John de Weyland - free warren in Wyttinesham, and Blakeshall,
Clopton manor market and fair in Suffolk.
Free warren in Balicover and Kylotheran [Killotheran], co.
Waterford, Ireland'[6]

[the charter for the market and fair at Clopton, Suffolk dated 19 Dec 1303,
from
CChR 1300-26, p. 43[3]]

had a grant of free warren in his manor of Blaxhall, 1304[1]

re: Blaxhall and other holdings of Sir Thomas de Weyland, Copinger wrote:
' On Thomas de Weyland abjuring the realm for felony in 1289, the manor was
taken into the King's hands [IPM, 18 Edw. I. 51], and a dispute arose as
to whether it had escheated or not. Roger Bigot, Earl of Norfolk, claimed
it as held of him, and it is said he obtained a verdict by means of a
packed
jury [R.P. i. 46]. John de Weyland, Thomas's son, however, in proceedings
in 1290 recovered the manor from the King and the Earl.
'The proceedings, which are interesting, will be found in the Abbreviation
of Pleas in 1290 [18 Edw. I., Trin. 62 (plea), 18 and 19 Edw. I. Mich. 54 (judgment)].' Copinger, V:110[1]

See also Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, II:231 which states,
'...Thomas de Weyland, who abjured the realm for a felony, made
an agreement with Sir James son of Gilbert, whereby the said
Sir Thomas granted by fine to the said Sir James and his son
James the manors of Hedenham and Kelling, saving the
advowson of Hedenham for the term of his life, and Sir
James granted to the said Sir Thomas and John his son in
tail the manor of Blaxall, Suff., to be held of the said S[ir
James and his heirs, which properties they had
previously exchanged by mutual consent.' Farrer cites
Cal. of Misc. Inq. i. 421[13]]

The manor of Rouse Hall, Suffok was probably the maritagium of his wife:
'...we meet with a fine levied of the manor in 1288 by John de Weyland
and Maria his wife against Richard de Brewse and Alice his wife, and there
can be no doubt that by virtue of this the manor became vested in John de
Weyland ' [Feet of Fines, 16 Edw. I. 7, as cited by Copinger, Vol. I-Rouse Hall, p. 32][1]

had a grant of free warren [at Rouse Hall] in 1301, and the grant of a market
and fair in the manor in 1304[1]

d. 30 Oct 1312,
'...holding a moiety of Blaxhale Manor and advowson as 1 Fee, Manors
of Assch 1/2 Fee, Wantisden, Middilton 1/4 Fee, Clopton, Swynland,
Wythisham, Cokefeld, and Brompton in Withernisham 3/4 Fee,

; Died in Gloucester, 17 November,1215; buried in South aisle of Hereford Cathedral.

Bishop of Hereford from 1200 - 1215, Giles, along with other bishops, left England in 1208 when the Pope's interdict came into force. In 1213 Giles and Reginald turned to open war with King John and took the de Braose Lordships in Wales which John had confiscated on the death of their father in 1211. Giles returned to England with Archbishop Langton in 1214 and the situation in Wales was ratified by John (on payment of a fine in Oct 1215). Giles became the Lord of Brecon etc. He built the tower of Brecon Cathedral and is depicted in a window in the North aisle. He may also have built the tower of Hereford Cathedral. His effigy on the North side of the chancel holds a tower. (In 1202 Hugh de Braose became Dean of Hereford Cathedral. I have not been able to trace his family relationships.)²
