Notes:

                   William de Braose, in the 22nd of Edward I [1293], had summons to attendthe king with other great men to advise regarding the important affairsof the realm. And about the beginning of the ensuing September, he wasone of those who embarked at Portsmouth with horse and arms in the king'sservice for Gascony. In the 28th and 29th of the same reign,he was in thewars of Scotland, and in the latter year he had summons to parliament asa baron. In the 32nd [1304], he was again in the Scottish wars and thenenjoyed so much favour that the king not only confirmed to him and hisheirs the grant of Gower Land, made by King john to his ancestor, butgranted that he and they should thenceforth enjoy all regal jurisdiction,liberties, and privileges there in as ample a manner as Gilder de Clare,son of Richard de Clare, sometimes Earl of Gloucester, had in all hislands of Glamorgan. For several years afterwards, his lordship appears tohave been constantly engaged upon the same theatre of war and was alwayseminently distinguished. In the 14th Edward II [1321], according toThomas of Walsingham, being "a person who had a large patrimony but agreat unthrift," his lordship put up for sale his noble territory ofGower Land, and absolutely sold it under the king's license to the Earlof Hereford; but its contiguity to the lands of the younger Spencer (whowas then high in royal favour, and the king's chamberlain), attractingthe attention of that minion, he forcibly possessed himself of the estateand thus gave rise to the insurrection headed by Thomas Plantagenet, Earlof Lancaster. Lord Braose m. Aliva, dau. of Thomas de Moulton, and hadissue, Aliva, m. 1st, to John de Mowbray, and 2ndly, to Sir Richard dePershall, and Joan, m. to John* de Bohun, of Midhurst. His lordship, whohad regular summons to parliament to 18 September, 1322, d. in that year,when the Barony of Braose, of Gower, fell into abeyance between his daus.and co-heirs, and it so continues with their representatives.
