Family
 Uncertain 1)Notes: Often named as Agnes, daughter of Waldron de St Clare in online family trees - presumably based on Complete Peerage - but no evidence for this has been identified. This is likelier to be Eve de Boissey, widow of Anchetil de Harcourt. Robert de Harcourt's sons Philip and Richard, refer to Philip de Braose as "patruus" paternal uncle in charters, and there is a reference in 1103 where it is stated that Philip de Braose was represented by "his brother Robert, the son of Anketill". These claims have not been verified. Married/ Related to:  William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber 2)Son of Unknown and Gunnor Unknown. Died between 1093 and 1096 William's last charter is in 1093, and his son Philip issues a charter as Lord of Bramber in 1096. Notes: William de Braose held significant lands in Sussex, as tenant-in-chief, per the Domesday Book - granted to him by William the Conqueror - who he had fought alongside at the Battle of Hastings. Child: 1. Philip de Braose, 2nd Lord of Bramber 3)Born ± 1070 Died between 1131 and 1139 Possibly on crusade to the Levant in 1134, 68 or 69 years 4) 1) 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). | |||

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)
