Notes |
- In 1215 when his older brother, Giles, died, Reginald came into possession of the family lands in Wales, most of which Giles had managed to regain. He immediately sided with Llewelyn Fawr against Herny III. To break up that alliance, Reginald was offered the return of the family's English estates to change sides, an offer he accepted. An angry Llewelyn responded by confiscating Reginald's land in Wales. By 1220, Reginald decided to change sides once again and went back to Wales. Llewelyn Fawr agreed to forgive his past disloyalty and form a new alliance if Reginald married his 15 year old daughter, Gwladys Ddu, and thus became "family". But Reginald's younger brother, William, remained in opposition to Llewelyn and was taken into custody.
Baron Abergavenny Jul 1216 Refused John's call for support to defend throne against Louis Capet. Feud with his half brother John over the de Braose estates.
Llywelyn took full advantage of the political turmoil in England. He cemented an alliance with Reginald de Braose to keep the Welsh de Braose territories out of king John's hands.
Reginald married Llywelyn's daughter, Gwladus Ddu, whose mother was King John's illegitimate daughter Joan. Reginald owed tenure of his land to the prince. (Reginald's first wife was Grace Briwere.)
The rebel barons called upon Philip of France to send his son Louis to be their king. Louis arrived at Thanet on May 14, 1216 with a large army. On May 26 king John wrote from Bramber to Reginald de Braose offering him all the lands once held by his father William. John also sent men to bring Reginald safely to him. Two days later the king thought better than to expect Reginald to come to him and sent a party to negotiate peace terms: they failed.
Soon John was on the run. He sent urgent instructions for Knepp's valuables to be moved safely to Bramber castle but his southern strongholds, including Bramber, fell to Louis. In his flight, the king took an army to Hereford and summoned Reginald de Braose and the princes of Wales to join him in a pact of peace. He was humiliated in his efforts and burned Hay and Radnor castles in a continuing pursuit of Reginald, despite the danger posed by the French invasion.
After an apparently hospitable banquet at Kings Lynn, John fell seriously ill. He was travelling with his entire royal baggage but lost it all in the quicksands of the Wash.
When he died at Newark on October 18, 1216, servants stripped him of his few remaining personal possessions. The last item recorded on John's patent roll was a gift of land in the royal forest of Aconbury, near Holme Lacy. It was for Margaret de Lacy, daughter of William and Maud de Braose, so that she could establish an Augustinian convent and chantry chapel in memory of her mother, father and brother. She may have buried her mother there. Her brother William was most likely buried at Sele priory, in Upper Beeding.
It was not until Louis was defeated and Henry III's reign was established in 1217 that Reginald swore homage to the crown. Llywelyn was incensed by this seeming betrayal and laid siege to Reginald's castle at Brecon.
Rhys and Owain, princes of Deheubarth, allies of Llywelyn and nephews of Reginald, took the town of Builth. Reginald was pursued into Swansea where he surrendered Gower to Llywelyn and peace was restored.
Reginald's loyalty came into question again in 1223 and Llywelyn besieged his castle at Builth. King Henry's forces relieved Reginald but his father in law already had another way to keep him in check. John, the true heir of the de Braose inheritance married Llywelyn's daughter Marared in 1219. John had come of age and was demanding that Reginald relinquish the de Braose lands to him.
Reginald improved Totnes castle, having lost the family seat of Bramber. From 1218 his only son William played an increasing role as lord of the Welsh strongholds.
