Reginald de Braose, 9th Baron Abergavenny (1178-9 June 1228). Married firstly, Grecia de Briwere, daughter of William de Briwere and Beatrice de Vaux, and secondly, after 1222, Gwladus Ddu, daughter of Welsh Prince Llewelyn the Great. Had issue by his first wife, including William de Braose, 10th Baron Abergavenny, who married Eva Marshal, and Matilda de Braose, who married Rhys Mechyll. Maud's daughter Margaret de Lacy founded a religious house, the Hospital of St. John, in Aconbury, Herefordshire in her memory.[10]On 10 October 1216, eight days before his death, King John conceded three carucates of land in the royal forest of Aconbury to Margaret for the construction of the religious house. He sent the instructions to Walter de Lacy, Sheriff of Hereford by letters patent.[11] William de Braose (1175- 1210). Starved to death with his mother in Corfe Castle. Married Maud de Clare, daughter of Richard de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and Amice FitzRobert de Meullant of Gloucester, by whom he had issue, including John de Braose.

Here's a link to one of his 'hits' for those into aural torture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFood... This book... I don't know if the subject matter is horrendously dated because it was written in the 80s, but it was one of the most hideously offensive, misogynistic books I've ever had the misfortune to read. Her husband died a year later in exile in France where he had gone disguised as a beggar to escape King John's wrath after the latter had declared him an outlaw, following his alliance with Llywelyn the Great, whom he had assisted in open rebellion against the king, an act which John regarded as treason. He was buried in the Abbey of St. Victor, Paris. Sonnets to a red-haired lady (by a gentleman with a blue beard) and famous love affairs by Don Marquis drawings by Stuart Hay. 1925 [Hardcover]Maud and William are reputed to have had 16 children.[6] The best documented of these are listed below. https://historytheinterestingbits.com/2015/03/20/maud-de-braose-kin... Note. Matilda's parentage was uncertain for a long time. Many writers have suggested that she may have been a daughter of Reginald de St Valery. I recently discovered a reference to her in L'Histoire des Ducs de Normandie et des Rois d'Angleterre, ed. Francisque Michel (Paris, 1840), written in the 13th century which describes her as a "daughter of Bernard de St Valery". This appears to have finally settled the matter. Maud de St. Valéry de Braose (1155-1210) was the wife of William de Braose, 7th Baron Abergavenny, 4th Lord Bramber, a powerful Marcher baron and court favourite of King John of England. She would later incur the wrath and emnity of the King. She is also known in history as Matilda de Braose, Moll Wallbee, and Lady of La Haie.[1]

Maud de St. Valery married William de Briouze, son of William de Briouze and Bertha of Hereford.1 She died in 1210 at dungeons of Corfe, Windsor, Berkshire, England, starved to death.1 In 1210, however, King John sent an expedition to Ireland. Maud and William escaped from Trim but were apprehended on the Antrim coast while attempting to sail to Scotland.[3] Margaret de Braose (1177-after 1255). Married Walter de Lacy, Sixth Baron Lacey of Trim Castle, son of Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath and Rohese of Monmouth, by whom she had issue, including Gilbert de Lacy, Pernel de Lacy, and Egidia de Lacy. The lead character (who's such a twit, I could scream) allows one of her love interests to beat, abuse, and rape her with zero consequences whatsoever, and she actually wants to be with him after that? Men mistreat women left, right, and centre in this novel, and all that happens is a bit of sighing here and there.I really struggled to read this. Like many others, I found the historical story, that of Matilda, much more interesting than the current-day events. But the current-day storyline is what really ruined it for me. All of the characters were completely unlikable and downright psychotic. From the author of Echoes of the Runes comes a thrilling new timeslip novel, filled with adventure and romance, perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Vikings. I really really Love your books...!!!!!! =) But here in Sweden,we Only got three (in swedish).. =( I´m always looking on your side,hope everytime that it will say something about a new realese in sweden,(translation)... Victim of a violent crime, Jenna is struggling to move on until her friend finds her a new job house-sitting. But these houses aren’t normal, and nor is what’s inside them! Maud de Braose features in many Welsh folklore myths and legends. There is one legend which says that Maud built the castle of Hay-on-Wye single handed in one night, carrying the stones in her apron.[12] She was also said to have been extremely tall and often donned armour while leading troops into battle.[13]
