   Philip de Braose, 2nd Lord of Bramber (c. 1070 - c. 1134) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and Marcher Lord.
   
   Philip was born about 1070 to 1073, the son of William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber (d. circa 1093/96) by his wife Eve de Boissey or Agnes de St. Clare. William de Braose had participated in the Norman victory at the Battle of Hastings in support of William the Conqueror. He had been rewarded with the feudal barony of Bramber in Sussex and smaller holdings in Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Surrey.
   
   Philip as heir consolidated his paternal lands, and expanded them. In 1096 he confirmed his father's gifts to the Abbey of St. Florent. Philip de Braose conquered the Welsh borderlands at Builth and New Radnor and established new Norman lordships over them. At Builth, he constructed a Motte and Bailey fortification at the site where King Edward I later built Builth Castle in the 13th century. He seems to have gone on the First Crusade in 1103. He supported King Henry I (1100-1135) against the claim to the English throne made by his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, but then in 1110 he revolted against Henry, who then confiscated his estates. He regained his lordships and lands in 1112 and was thereafter able to retain them, but in 1130 settled them intact onto his eldest son William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber.
   
   Marriage & progeny
   He married Aenor de Totnes, sister and co-heiress of Alfred de Totnes (d.pre-1139), son of Juhel de Totnes (d.1123/30) feudal baron of Totnes (which he forfeited c.1087) and of Barnstaple both in Devon. In right of his wife Aenor, Philip acquired a moiety of the feudal barony of Barnstaple, the other moiety of which was held by Henry de Tracy (d.pre-1165), Aenor's brother-in-law. He had the following progeny:
   
   William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber, his eldest son and heir.
   Philip de Braose junior
   Basilia, a daughter.
   Gillian, a daughter.
   
   Before 1206 William III de Braose (d.1211) successfully claimed half of the barony of Totnes from Henry de Nonant, to which family it had been granted after its forfeiture by Juhel de Totnes. However in 1208 William III's lands were confiscated by King John.
   
   He died between 1131 and 1139, possibly in 1134 on crusade in the Levant.

   Philip de Braose, 2nd Baron Bramber was the only son of William de Braose. He was born circa 1070 in Bramber, West Sussex, England, the son of William de Braose, 1st Baron Bramber and Eve, dame de Boessey-le-Chatel.
   
   1093 2nd Lord of Bramber in West Sussex.
   
   1096-1100 He confirmed his father's gifts to the abbey of St. Florent in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France.
   
   He married Aenor de Toteneis, daughter of Judhael de Toteneis, before 1100. Arms: Azure a lion rampant Or (the cross crosslets having been added in the fashion of the time to state that he had taken the cross).
   
   1103 He was the first Braose Lord of Builth and Radnor, their initial holding in the Welsh Marches before 1103 in Wales. He was represented, in a record, by "his brother Robert, the son of Anketill" in 1103. He returned from the 1st Crusade in 1103.
   
   He built the Norman church of St Nicolas at Old Shoreham and founded the port of New Shoreham after 1103 in West Sussex, England.
   
   1110 He supported William Clito's claims against Henry I (as did Louis VI of France) and saw his lands confiscated by Henry I, due to his traiterous support of William, son of Robert Curthose.
   
   1112 He was restored to the Braose lands previously confiscated in 1110.
   
   1120 He travelled, it is suggested, to Jerusalem at the time when the Templars were first conceived.
   
   1125-1130 He confirmed the gifts of his nephew, Philip de Harcourt, to the newly established Knights Templar, which included the manor and church of Shipley in West Sussex, England.
   
   He possibly went on the 2nd Crusade and died in Palestine. "Philip's death appears to be recorded by a contemporary writer, Gerald of Wales. Some time before 1135, Philip and his dogs spent a night in the church of Saint Afan, or Llanafan in Welsh. They had been hunting near Builth. At first light Philip awoke to find that all his dogs had gone mad and he himself was blind. After years of helplessness, Philip grasped an opportunity to redeem his offence against the church. He armed himself and travelled to Jerusalem on a strong and faithful war horse, led by a group of friends. They took him to the front line of battle, where he gallantly charged forward. Philip was immediately struck down and met an honourable death."
   
   There are charters where Robert de Harcourt's sons, Philip and Richard, refer to Philip de Braose as "patruus" - paternal uncle. This lends weight to the theory that Robert de Harcourt and Philip de Braose were both sons of Eve de Boissey. In another record dated 1103 (Pipe Roll Soc. Vol 71 no 544) it is stated that Philip de Braose was represented by "his brother Robert, the son of Anketill".
