      REYNOLD de Briouse (-[5 May 1227/9 Jun 1228]). His parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 24 Jun 1217 under which King Henry III notified those on the lands of "William de Breouse in Ireland" that "Reginald de Breouse having come to his fealty, the king restores to him all the lands which belonged to his father ere"[619]. Another version of his parentage, shown to be incorrect, by this 1217 document, is recorded in the manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey and names “Willielmus, Egidius et Reginaldus” as the three sons of “Willelmo Brewes” and his wife “Berta…comitis Milonis secunda filia”, adding that Reynold inherited all the territories of his older brothers[620]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “Reginaldus frater eius” succeeded on the death of “Ægidius Herefordensis episcopus” in 1216, with the help of “Leulini Regis Walliæ” whose daughter he married[621].

      m firstly GRECIA, daughter of WILLIAM Briwere & his wife Beatrix de Vaux. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that “Reginaldus de Brews” married “filiam domini Willielmus de la Bruere”[622].

      m secondly ([1215/16]) GWLADUS Ddu, illegitimate daughter of LLEWELYN ap Iorwerth Prince of North Wales & his mistress --- (-Windsor 1251). The Annals of Dunstable record that “Reginaldus frater eius” (referring to “Ægidius Herefordensis episcopus”) married “Leulini Regis Walliæ…filiam” in 1216[623]. A manuscript narrating the foundation of Wigmore Abbey records that “Radulphus” married “Lewelinus princeps…Gwladusam Duy filiam suam”, who brought her husband “omnibus terries de Kery et Kedewyn”[624]. She married secondly (1230) Ralph de Mortimer of Wigmore. The Annals of Worcester record that “Radulphus de Mortuomari” married “filiam Lewelini, conjugem quondam Reginaldi de Breusa” in 1230[625]. The Annales Cambriæ record the death in 1251 of "Gladus filia domini Lewelini" at Windsor[626].]

      Reynold & his first wife had one child:

      Reginald de Braose, 9th Baron Abergavenny (Bramber, Sussex, 1182 – June 1228 in Brecon) was the youngest son of William de Braose, 7th Baron Abergavenny and Matilda, also known as Maud, de St. Valery and Lady de Lahaie (born 1148-1155), who had produced three sons, William, Giles and Reginald.[1]

      The de Braoses were loyal to King Richard I but grew in power under King John of England. The dynasty was in conflict with John of England towards the end of his reign and almost lost everything.

      Reginald de Braose was a scion of the powerful Marcher family of de Braose, helped manage its survival and was also related by marriage to the Welsh Princes of Wales.

      Magna Carta Rebel

      He supported his brother Giles de Braose in his rebellions against King John. Both brothers were active against the King in the Baron's War. Neither was present at the signing of Magna Carta in June 1215 because at this time they were still rebels who refused to compromise.

      Royal Acquiesence & Welsh Vassal

      King John acquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. Reginald became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and held other Marcher Lordships but was also very much a vassal of the Welsh leader Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd who became his father-in-law in 1222 when Reginald married Llywelyn's daughter, Gwladus Ddu, known as Black Gwladys due to her raven hair.

      Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated by King John) in 1217.

      Welsh Conflict

      At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's Welsh nephews who were Princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and they took Builth, except the castle. Llywelyn Fawr also became angry and his forces besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinhenydd (Swansea).

      By 1221 they were at war again, with Llewelyn again laying siege to Builth. The siege was relieved by King Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John de Braose concerning the de Braose lands in Wales.

      Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by King Henry III in 1225.

      He died two or three years later in 1227 or 1228 in Brecon and was succeeded by his son, the ill-fated William de Braose, 10th Baron Abergavenny. He is buried at Brecon Cathedral. His daughter Matilda de Braose was the wife of Rhys Mechyll, Prince of Deheubarth.

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

      Reginald was also called Reynold.

      Reginald de Braose, 5th Baron of Brecknock, married Grace de Briwere, daughter of Lord William de Briwere and Beatrice de Valle, before 1204.

      Reginald and his brother Giles 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 1213.

      Reginald married Gwladys Dhu verch Llywelyn, daughter of Llewelyn Ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales and Tangwystl verch Llywarch of Rhôs, in 1215. (She was our ancestor through a different husband.)

      Reginald saw King John aquiesce to his claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. He became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth, and other Marcher Lordships but was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd and now his father-in-law after May 1216.

      Reginald suffered attacks by his nephews, Rhys and Owain, princes of Deheubarth, who at his seeming betrayal were incensed and they took Builth (except the castle), while his father-in-law Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and beseiged Brecon after 1217. He surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinenydd (Swansea) before 1221.

      He was again at war with Llewelyn who laid seige to Builth, and was relieved by forces of Henry III in 1221.

      Reginald was witness to the re-issue of the Magna Carta by King Henry III in 1225.

      Reginald sold the Rape of Bramber to his nephew, John Tadody de Braose, in 1226 in Sussex, England.

      Reginald was the third son. Orignally his last name was Breos. Reginald is a descendent of various ancient royal Welsh lines back to Hywell Dda ap Cadell, Prince of Wales & Llewelyn ap Merfin, Prince of Powys, each born just before 900 A.D. Also, in this line is Gruffydd ap Llewelyn, Prince of Wales until 1063 whose wife Eldgyth, daughter of Elfgar, Earl of Mercia, later married Harold II, King of England.

At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's nephews who were princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and they took Builth (except the castle). Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinhenydd (Swansea). By 1221 they were at war again with Llewelyn laying siege to Builth. The seige was relieved by Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John concerning the de Braose lands.

      Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by Henry III in 1225.

      FROM CURT HOFEMAN:

      Reginald de Braose , 13th Lord of Abergavenny

      Name: Reynold de Braiose [Ref: Weis AR7 27:28 & 132C:29]

      REGINALD DE BRAIOSE, d. 1227/8; m. Grace (or Gracia) de Briwere, d. bef. 1215, dau. William de Briwere and Beatrice de Vaux. (CP I:22) [Ref: Weis AR7 177:7]

      There was a definite and timely reason that Reginald de Broase married Gwladys Ddu in 1215. His brother Giles, Bishop of Hereford, rebelled as soon as he received a royal grant of 'his' patrimony and joined Llywelyn (as leader of the Welsh forces) in general rebellion against John (remember that this was also about the time the North of England, etc., rebelled against John). Reginald immediately joined his brother in marching on their patrimony in the Marches to secure it by force. To cement their alliance (Giles being a bishop and all), Reginald was married to a daughter of Prince Llywelyn. Her name happened to be Gwladys, the dark eyed. [Ref: Paul Reed 1 Dec 2001 msg to SGM]

      Reginald de Braose betrayed Llywelyn in 1217 by going over to King John's side. Llywelyn attacked some of Llywelyn's holdings, and took Reginald's nephew's side. [Ref: Paul Reed 1 Dec 2001 msg to SGM]

      His [Giles de Braose, Bishop of Hereford] brother, Reginald, seized possession, and not until after the death of John did he come to terms with the Crown, 23 June 1217. Reginald's defection roused the anger of Llywelyn, who attacked his lands of Brecon and Gower and supported the claim to the family lands of John de Braose, the eldest of the four sons of William, who had starved to death in 1210. The four sons-John, Giles, Philip, and Walter-were released from captivity in 1218. John is said to have been brought up secretly by a Welshman in Gower, and he was later given into custody of Bishop Giles, his uncle. John's claim, however was not sustained in the courts, but Reginald, by a convention, ceded to him the baronies of Gower and Bramber and thus was established the junior branch of the family in its own right. Reginald d. June 1228 and was succeeded by his son, William, the 7th baron, husband of Eva Marshall. W. R.* [Ref: The Dictionary of Welsh Biography Down to 1940, editors, Sir John Edward Lloyd, R. T. Jenkins, (1959), p. 49]
      * Professor-Emeritus William Rees, D.SC., F.S.A., Cardiff, author of this article.

      The elder William de Braose died in 1211. Theoretically, the lands should have descended to his grandson John de Braose (son of William de Braose who had been put to death by King John in 1210.) John de Braose was one of four young sons of William who were kept as hostages by King John until 1218.
      But this John had two uncles, Giles de Braose, Bishop of Hereford, and Reginald de Braose. Giles returned from exile (because of the interdict) in 1213, and appeared at Court in 1214. King John acquiesced to Giles and granted him the lands that had been held by his father in May 1215.
      Once the grant was made, Giles broke out in open rebellion against King John (in spite of his nephews being in royal custody), siding with the princes of Wales. He and his brother Reginald moved quickly to secure their patrimony by force.
      But Giles de Braose died in November 1215, having just made peace with King John. Reginald de Braose then immediately moved to secure the patrimony, and allied himself with the princes of Wales. Cementing an alliance with Llywelyn was the obvious motivation for marriage to Gwladys in 1215. Though King John made overtures to reconcile Reginald, he remained in rebellion against the King (and thus loyal to Llywelyn) until John's death on 19 October 1216.
      William Marshal, acting regent of the minor Henry III, offered the same rights to Reginald de Braose which King John had granted to his brother Bishop Giles. Reginald finally came into the King's fealty June 1217 and swore homage for the Braose inheritance in England and Wales.
      Reginald's nephew John de Braose was released with his brothers in 1218, and sued for his inheritance in England and Wales. Reginald was considered in rebellion by Llywelyn (for siding with the Crown in 1217). Llywelyn marched on Reginald's Welsh holdings in 1217, with other allies. Reginald surrendered Swansea, and Gower was occupied by Rhys Gryg. Freed in 1218, John was married to Llywelyn's daughter Margaret in 1219 and placed in control of Gower by Llywelyn (at least by 1220).
      The King ordered that seisin of Swansea Castle be given to Reginald de Braose in September 1223, but earlier that month Llywelyn had laid siege to Reginald's castle at Builth. Reginald died in 1228.
      Brut y Tywysogion gives a very detailed account for 1215 and 1216. In 1215, after the Welsh marched across Wales and the Marches, in rebellion against King John, 'Giles, bishop of Hereford, made peace with the king, from fear of the pope; and on the ride, going to the king, he was taken ill; and he died at Gloucester, about the feast of St. Martin [10/11 Nov.]; and his patrimony came to his brother Rheinallt/Reinald/Reinallt [Reginald] de Bruse, who took for his wife the daughter of Llywelyn, son of Iorwerth, prince of Gwynedd.' [the original is in Wlesh] The chronicle then goes on, describing how that year Llywelyn and his forces conquered more of Wales., listing all those loyal to Llywelyn.

      WIKIPEDIA:

      Reginald de Braose, 9th Baron Abergavenny (died 1227) was the son of William de Braose, 7th Baron Abergavenny and Matilda de St. Valery. He was a scion of the powerful Marcher family of Braose, and related by marriage to the Princes of Wales.

      He supported his brother Giles in his rebellions against King John. They were both active against the King in the baron's war. Neither was present at the signing of Magna Carta because they were still rebels who refused to compromise. John acquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. He became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and other Marcher Lordships but was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd who became his father-in-law in 1222 when Reginald married Llywelyn's daughter, Gwladus Ddu. Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated from William by King John) in 1217. At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's nephews who were princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and they took Builth (except the castle). Llywelyn Fawr also became angry and besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinhenydd (Swansea). By 1221 they were at war again with Llewelyn laying siege to Builth. The siege was relieved by Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John de Braose concerning the de Braose lands.
      Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by Henry III in 1225. He died two years later and was succeeded by his son, the ill-fated William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny. His daughter Matilda was the wife of Rhys Mechyll, Prince of Deheubarth.
