OWNERS of the LORDSHIP of ABERGAVENNY (XI)

William de Briouze, Lord of Briouze [in Normandy], Bramber, Brecon,Over-Gwent, etc., son and heir (a). He m. Maud de St Valery, "Lady of LaHaie." In consequence of his well-known quarrel with King John, hislands were forfeited in 1208, and his wife and 1st son starved to deathin the dungeons of Corfe (or of Windsor) in 1210. He d. at Corbeil nearParis, 9, and was buried 10 Aug 1211, in the Abbey of St. Victor atParis. [Complete Peerage I:22]

(a) He slaughtered Seisyll ap Dyvnwal and a host of unarmed Welshmen, inthe castle of Abergavenny in 1175, in revenge for the death of his uncleHenry of Hereford. Seisyll was owner of Castle Arnold, and is said in aninaccurate version of the Brut to have captured Abergavenny in 1172, theslaughter being dated 1177. But the better version of the Brut, on thecontrary, states that Seisyll was captured in 1172 by the garrison ofAbergavenny.

--------------------------------------

At his peak Lord of Bramber, Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth,Radnor, Kington, Limerick, and the three castles of Skenfrith, Grosmont,and Whitecastle.

William inherited Bramber, Builth, and Radnor from his father, Brecknockand Abergavenny through his mother. He was the strongest of the MarcherLords involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was particularly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh princes,their families and their men which took place during a feast at his castle of Abergavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the "Ogre of Abergavenny". One of the Normans' foremost warriors, he fought alongside King Richard at Chalus in 1199 (where Richard was killed).

William received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was also given custody of Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Gwynllwg in return for large payments.

William captured Arthur, Count of Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and was incharge of his imprisonment for King John. He was rewarded in February1203 with the grant of Gower. He may have had knowledge of the murder Prince Arthur and been bribed to silence by John with the city of Limerick in July. His honors reached their peak when he was made Sheriff of Herefordshire by John in 1206-7. He had held this office under Richard from 1192-1199.

His fall began almost immediately. William was stripped of his office asbailiff of Glamorgan and other custodies in 1206-7. Later he wasdeprived of all his lands and, sought by John in Ireland, he returned toWales and joined the Welsh Prince Llewelyn in rebellion. He fled toFrance

William de Braose likewise inherited the large estates of his grandmother, and besides possessed of the honor of Braose, in Normandy. This feudal lord was a personage of great power and influence during the reigns of King Henry II. and KingRichard I., from the former of whom he received a grant of the "whole kingdom of Limerick, in Ireland," for the service of sixty knight's fees, to be held of the king and his younger son, John. For several years after this period he appears tohave enjoyed the favor of King John, and his power and possessions were augmented by divers grants from the crown. But in the 10th year of the king's reign, when the kingdom labored under an interdiction, and John deemed it expedient to demand hostages from his barons to ensure their allegiance, should the Pope proceed to the length of absolving them from obedience to the crown, his officers who came upon the mission to the Baron de Braose, were sent by Maud, his wife, and peremptorily informed that she would not intrust any of her children to the king, who had so basely murdered his own nephew, Prince Arthur. De Braose rebuked her, however, for speaking thus, and said that if he had in any way offended the king,he was ready to make satisfaction, according to the judgment of the court, and the barons his peers, upon an appointed day, and at any fixed place, without however giving hostages. This answer being communicated to the king, an order wasimmediately transmitted to seize upon the baron's person, but Braose having notice thereof fled with his family to Ireland. This quarrel between the king and Braose is, however, differently related by other authorities. The monk of Lanthonystates, that King John disinherited and banished him for his cruelty to the Welsh, in his war with Gwenwynwyn, and that his wife, Maud, and William, his son and heir, died prisoners in Corfe Castle. While another writer relates, "that thisWilliam de Braose, son of Philip de Braose, Lord of Buelt, held the lands of Brechnock and Went, for the whole time of King Henry II., King Richard I., and King John, without any disturbance, until he took to wife the Lady Maud de Walerie, who in revenge of Henry de Hereford, caused divers Welshmen to be murthered in the castle of Bergavenny, as they sat at meat; and that for this, and for some other pickt quarrel, King John banished him and all his out of England. Likewise, that in his exile, Maud, his wife, with William, called Gam, his son, were taken and put in prison; where she died, the 10th year after her husband fought with Wenwynwyn, and slew three thousand Welsh." From these various relations, says Dugdale, it isno easy matter to discover what his demerits were; but what usage he had at last, take here from the credit of these two historians, who lived near that time. "This year, viz. anno 1240," qouth Matthew of Westminster, "the noble lady Maud, wifeof William de Braose, with William, their son and heir, were miserably famished at Windsore, by the command of King John. ; and William, her husband, escaping from Scorham, put himself into the habit of a beggar, and privately going beyond the sea, died soon after at Paris, where he had burial in the abbey of St, Victor." And Matthew Paris, putting his death in the year 1212 (which differs a little in time), says, "That he fled from Ireland to France, and dying at Ebula, his body was carried to Paris, and there honorably buried in the abbey of St. Victor....Being by inheritance from his mother, Lord of Bergavenny, he made grants to the monks of that priory, conditionally, that the abbot and convent of St. Vincenti, in Maine should daily pray for the soul of Maud his wife."

William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

William de Braose, Fourth Lord of Bramber (1140/1150 - August 9, 1211) at his peak was also lord of Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radnor, Kington, Limerick, Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle. His rise and fall at the hands of king John is often taken as an example of that king's arbitrary and capricious behavior towards his barons.

William was the son of William de Braose, Third Lord of Bramber and Bertha of Hereford, daughter of Miles Fitz Walter, Earl of Hereford and his wife, formerly Sibyl de Neufmarche. From his father he inherited the Rape of Bramber, in Sussex, and through his mother he inherited a large estate in the Welsh Marches.

In 1175, William carried out the Massacre of Abergavenny, killing several Welsh princes to avenge the death of his uncle Henry, Earl of Hereford, after having invited them to a feast at Abergavenny Castle. This resulted in great hostility against him among the Welsh, who named him the "Ogre of Abergavenny".

In 1199, William fought beside King Richard the Lion-heart at Chalus, where Richard was killed.

He was greatly favored by King John early in his reign. John granted him all that he might conquer from the Welsh in Radnor, gave him lordship over Limerick in Ireland (save for the city itself), possession of Glamorgan castle, and then lordship over Gower.

In 1203, William was put in charge of Arthur of Brittany, whom he had personally captured the previous year. William was suspected of involvement in Arthur's disappearance, although no concrete evidence ever came to light. There is somewhat better evidence that he at least knew the truth of the matter.

In 1206 John gave William the three great castles of Gwent (Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle). At this point only an earldom separated him from the greatest in England.
But soon after William fell out of favor with the king. The precise reasons remain obscure. John's stated reasons regard money de Braose owed the crown. But the king's actions went far beyond what would be necessary to recover the debt. Instead, he evidently wanted to break de Burgh, and to that end invaded Wales to seize the de Braose domains there. Beyond that, he sought de Braose's wife, who, the story goes, had made no secret of her belief that John had murdered Arthur of Brittany.

De Braose fled to Ireland, then returned to Wales as John hunted him in Ireland. In Wales, William allied himself to the Welsh prince Llewelyn and helped him in rebellion against King John.

In 1210, William fled in disguise to France and died the following year at Corbeil.
William's wife, Maud de St. Valery, and eldest son, William, were captured and murdered by King John, possibly starved to death.

While William had aroused the jealousy of the other barons during his rise, the arbitrary and violent manner of his fall very likely discomfited them and played a role in the baronial uprisings of the next decade. The historian Sidney Painter, in his biography of King John, called it "the greatest mistake John made during his reign, as the king revealed to his barons once and for all his capacity for cruelty".

Eventually, William's third son, Reginald de Braose reacquired some of his father's titles and lands. The middle son, Giles, was Bishop of Hereford from 1200 until his death in 1215.

William also had a daughter, Margaret, who married Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath.

Despite intending to be interred at St John's, Brecon, hewas buried in the Abbey of St Victorie, Paris by Stephen Langton, theArchbishop of Canterbury, another of John's chief opponents who was alsotaking refuge there.

His wife and son were murdered by King John-starved to death at WindsorCastle.

William de Braose inherited the large estates of his grandmother, Bertade Gloucester, and besides possessed the Honour of Braose, in Normandy.This feudal lord was a personage of great power and influence during thereigns of Henry II and Richard I, from the former of whom he obtained agrant of the "whole kingdom of Limeric, in Ireland," for the service ofsixty knight's fees, to be held of the king and his younger son, John.For several years after this period, he appears to have enjoyed thefavour of King John and his power and possessions were augmented bydivers grants from the crown. In the 10th of the king's reign [1209],when the kingdom laboured under an interdiction and John deemed itexpedient to demand hostages from his barons to ensure their allegianceshould the Pope proceed to the length of absolving them from obedience tothe crown, his officers who came upon the mission to the Baron de Braosewere met by Maud, his wife, and peremptorily informed that she would notentrust any of her children to the king, who had so basely murdered hisown nephew, Prince Arthur. de Braose rebuked her for speaking thus,however, and said that if he had in anything offended the king, he wasready to make satisfaction according to the judgment of the court and thebarons, his peers, upon an appointed day and at any fixed place without,however, giving hostages. This answer being communicated to the king, anorder was immediately transmitted to seize upon the baron's person, butBraose having notice thereof fled with his family into Ireland.

This quarrel between de Braose and King John is, however, differentlyrelated by other authorities. The monk of Llanthony stated that King Johndisinherited and banished him for his cruelty to the Welsh in his warwith Gwenwynwyn, and that his wife Maud and William, his son and heir,died prisoners in Corfe Castle. Another writer relates, "that thisWilliam de Braose, son of Philip de Braose, Lord of Buelt, held the landsof Brecknock and Went for the whole time of King Henry II, Richard I, andKing John without any disturbance until he took to wife the Lady Maud deSt. Walerie, who, in revenge of Henry de Hereford, cause divers Welshmento be murthered in the castle of Bergavenny as they sat at meat; and thatfor this, and for some other pickt quarrel, King John banished him andall his out of England. Likewise, that in his exile, Maud his wife, withWilliam, galled, Gam, his son, were taken and put into prison where shedied the 10th year after her husband fought with Gwenwynwyn and slewthree thousand Welch." From these various relations, says Dugdale, it isno easy matter to discover what his demerits were, but what usage he hadat last, take here the credit of these two historians who lived near thattime. "This year, viz. anno 1240," quoth Matthew of Westminster, "thenoble lady Maud, wife of William de Braose, with William, their son andheir, were miserably famished at Windsor by the command of King John; andWilliam, her husband, escaping from Scorham, put himself into the habitof a beggar and, privately getting beyond sea, died soon after at Paris,where he had burial in the abbey of St. Victor." And Matthew Paris,putting his death in anno 1212 (which differs a little in time), says,"That he fled from Ireland to France and, dying at Ebula, his body wascarried to Paris and there honourably buried in the abbey of St. Victor.""But after these great troubles in his later days," continues Dugdale, "Ishall now say something of his pious works. Being by inheritance from hismother, Lord of Bergavenny, he made great grants to the monks of thatpriory, conditionally, that the abbot and convent of St. Vincent, inMaine (to which this priory of Bergavenny was a cell) should daily prayfor the soul of him, the said William, and the soul of Maud, his wife."

This great but unfortunate personage had issue by his wife, Maud de St.Walerie, I. William; II. Giles: III. Reginald; IV. Sir John; I. Joane;II. Loretta; III. Margaret; IV. Maud.

When the contest between King John and the barons broke out, Giles deBraose, bishop of Hereford, arraying himself under the baronial banner,was put in possession by the people of Bergavenny and the other castlesof the deceased lord, and eventually King John, in the last year of hisreign, his wrath then being assuaged, granted part of those lands to thebishop's younger brother and heir.
