	Bramber Castle
		John, the heir of Reginald, died by a fall from his horse in Henry III's reign, and that sovereign's brother took charge of the castle till the infant heir was of age, when it was restored to him.
		Bramber devolved at length to the Mowbrays, but was forfeited to the Crown when John de Mowbray was executed for treason, having joined the nobles against the Spencers, the favourites of Edward II.
		Bramber seems to have been always possessed by restless owners - in general opposed to the sovereign; only once taking the king's side, and that in the case of usurping, blood-stained Richard.
