William [IV] & his wife had [five] children: 

d)         WALTER de Briouse (-after 8 Jul 1226).  Henry III King of England ordered the release of "Johannes, Egidius et Philippus et Walterus filii Willelmi de Braosa" dated [Jan] 1218[849].  Henry III King of England issued an order relating to a claim by the abbot of Gloucester against "Walterum de Braosa et Hawisiam uxorem eius" about "ecclesia de Hanendon" dated 8 Jul 1226[850].  m (Royal licence 11 Jul 1223) HAWISE de London, daughter of THOMAS de London & his wife Eva [de Tracy] (-after 8 Jul 1226).  Henry III King of England granted licence for the marriage of "Waltero de Braosa" and "Hawisie filie et heredis…Thome de London", with "honore de Kedewelli et de Cadewathlan…maritagium", dated 11 Jul 1223[851].  Henry III King of England issued an order relating to a claim by the abbot of Gloucester against "Walterum de Braosa et Hawisiam uxorem eius" about "ecclesia de Hanendon" dated 8 Jul 1226[852]. 

Origins

The second possibility is that William [IV] married Matilda de Clare, daughter of Richard de Clare Earl of Hertford & his wife Amice of Gloucester ([1185/90]-).  This marriage is stated in many secondary sources, but the primary source which confirms this parentage and marriage of William’s wife has not yet been identified.  If her parentage is correct, she was presumably the earl of Hertford’s daughter who married secondly (1219) Rhys ap Rhys "Gryg/the Hoarse".  The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Rhys the Hoarse married the daughter of the earl of Clare" in 1219[844].  This second possibility appears more plausible, given the generally high-profile marriages contracted by the Briouse family at the time. 


Notes

From Ancestry of Thomas de London, lord of Kidwelly, Post by roger Jan 25, 2005, 9:48:39 PM https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/HR8CcQ06I4M?pli=1

I further note that your post makes no mention of Hawise de London's childless first marriage to Walter de Brewes, younger son of William de Brewes by his wife, Maud, daughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford. In Michaelmas term 1233 Walter and Hawise were suing the abbot of Gloucester for the church of Hannington, Wiltshire. Walter de Brewes died before 14 January 1234. Further details of Walter de Brewes and his marriage to Hawise de London can be found in my forthcoming book, Magna Carta Ancestry, scheduled for publication in June 2005.
