 Windsor History, William de Braose and St Leonard's Hermitage
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.
William, however, continued to be a close companion of the King until his failure to pay his dues to the Crown caused a rift.
Eventually the de Braose lands were recovered by the family but, whilst they were still held by the King, John presented Geoffrey de Meysi as priest to the chapel of St. Leonard in the Windsor Forest, vacant by the death of Robert V Mauncell.

Apparently he owed this advancement to his character for meekness, and as archbishop he behaved with a moderation which is in striking contrast to the conduct of his rival, Henry of Blois, bishop of Winchester.
He refused to consecrate the king's nephew, William FitzHerbert, to the see of York, and in 1148 attended the papal council of Reims in defiance of a royal prohibition.
This quarrel was ended by the intercession of the queen, Matilda of Boulogne, but another, of a more serious character, was provoked by Theobald's refusal to crown Count Eustace, the eldest son of Stephen, the archbishop pleading the pope's orders as the excuse for this contumacy.
