 de Braose Family Genealogy
William de Braose II was born about 1100 in Bramber, Sussex, England and died about 1192 while living in England.
On 24th February 1203 John gave William the land of Gower (in South Wales) for himself and his heirs, it was said "on account of William threatening to depart from him and to return to England." It is possible that William had remonstrated with the King regarding Arthur and was bribed with Gower.
Practically all the Marcher Lords were forced to deal with a rebellious and resentful Welsh population in violent ways in order to protect their newly-awarded "kingdoms," but de Braose time and time again seems to have gone out of his way to commit acts of cruelty that went beyond his contemporaries.

The corrupt and burdensome administration of the county during the 13th and 14th centuries, combined with the constant passage of troops for the French wars and the devastating plagues of the 14th century, were the causes of such rebellions as the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 and Jack Cade's Rebellion in 1450.

Little is known of Ilbert de Lacy, aside from the fact that he appears to have held the honour of Pontefract, and that he had a (likely younger) brother, Walter.
Robert de Lacy is evidently the first member of the Lacy family to have founded a monastery, that of the Cluniac priory of St. John, Pontefract, sometime during the reign of William I, and also is believed by some to have been responsible for the building of the Lacy castle at Clitheroe.
Walter de Lacy, the younger brother of Ilbert, held the honour of Weobley in Herefordshire, and by his wife Ermeline, left sons Roger, who "rebelled and was banished from England", Hugh, and Walter, as well as daughters, Emma and Ermeline.

William de Braose (3) was at King Richard's death bed in 1199, and at first was one of John's trusted barons In 1206 William offered hospitality at Knepp1 while the king was preparing an expedition to France.
In April 1215, the barons began their rebellion and towards the end of the year, as John was trying desperately to gain support, he ordered the return of confiscated property, including Knepp, to the de Braose heir, Giles, Bishop of Hereford.
Unfortunately the bishop died before this was done, and the constable at Knepp, Godfrey de Craucumb, was directed to restore the castle to the King's agent Months later, as John faced both his own rebels and an imminent French invasion force, Bloet was ordered to burn the buildings and destroy the castle.

Vincent gives Margaret to the first Earl William, who tells us himself that his wife's name was Sibilla; others to William's father, the second Robert, who explicitly declares that his wife was another Sibilla, daughter of William, Lord Braose of Bramber; and my dear lamented friend, the late Rev. C.
For the proof that William was the happy man we are referred to the Oblate Boll of the 1st of John, in which it is said that William, the third earl of that name, calls Margaret his grandmother.
The Earl of Ferrers is therein stated to have made himself heir of the aforesaid William Peverel, and to have intruded himself into the same inheritance during the war between the King and his barons.
