  • *****************

Primary sources needed. FMG MedLands database does not show this person as a child of John de Braose and Margaret of Wales (verch Llewellyn). However, he is named in Wikipedia and so he will remain on the tree but more documentation is needed.

Secondary sources also include Dugdale's "Baronage," p. 420, according to Hermentrude, writing in "Notes and Queries," vol. 8, p. 86. See also "The Magna Charta Sureties," p. 159. In both these sources, he is called William. (December 18, 2015; Anne Brannen, curator)
