Family


man Philip de Braose, 2nd Lord of Bramber‏‎ 1)
Born ‎± 1070
Died ‎between 1131 and 1139 Possibly on crusade to the Levant in 1134‎, 68 or 69 years 2) 3)

Notes: The second Lord of Bramber, Philip inherited, and grew, his father's lands. Gerald of Wales states that castellan of Radnor castle (who was almost certainly this Philip de Braose), died on a personal crusade to the levant, charging blindly into battle. While this may be legendary (as Gerald often was), it likely has an element of truth. The year of his death is somewhere between 1131 (when he last signs a charter) and 1139 (when his son, William, signs as Lord).

Notes: William was third Lord of Bramber, in addition to holding half the feudal lordship of Barnstaple, inherited from his mother, one of the two daughters of Juhel. He first uses the title Lord of Bramber in 1139. Through his wife (whose four brothers all died leaving no issue), he inherited the lordships of Brecon and Abergavenny, circa 1166.

2) Source: The Journey Through Wales and the Description of Wales "Then he conceived the happy idea of having himself led all the way to Jerusalem, for he did not wish to allow his spiritual light to be extinguished as his eyes had been. Surrounded by a group of his friends, he had himself armed and, sitting on a strong warhorse, he was conducted by his men to where the war was being fought. He charged forward in the front line, but was immediately struck down by a blow from a sword and so ended his life with honour." (Questionable reliability of evidence)

By this charter Philip de Harcourt, Dean of Lincoln, granted... 'All that my brother Richard had and held from Philip de Braose, his and my relative (patruus)'. This is followed by a discussion of the charter and its implications with respect to kinship, and Philip's date of decease.. Reference: Page 239 (Data from secondary evidence)
