• Father: Richard de Braose, Knt., son of John de Braose of Bramber, Sussex and his wife, Margaret of Wales.^[6]
• Mother: Alice le Rus, Alice le Rus, daughter of William le Rus and Agatha de Clere. Alice was the widow of Richard Longespée, Knt. (died 1261) and married Richard before 9 September 1265 as her second husband.^[7]

Giles married twice:

1. Katherine de Huntingfield, daughter of Laurence de Huntingfield, Knt. (no issue).^[2]

Joan was living in 1316.^[2] Her widower, Edmund, married (2) Elizabeth la Warre,^[11] and (3) Margery de Poynings (Edmund and Margery had a daughter, Margery, who married William de Moleyns).^[12]

Research Notes

Locations: Richardson does not say where Giles was born, married, or died. This profile had Stinton as his birth location, which is likely, but had his death in Fressingfield, Suffolk, which was changed to just England for lack of support. ~ Noland-165, 30 January 2020

From son Richard's profile:

Giles de Brewosa alias de Breuse, de Breouse, died before 6 February, 4 Edward II [1311], when a writ was issued regarding him, and at a subsequent Inquisition nine year-old Richard de Breuse, the son of Giles and his wife, Joan, was found to be Giles' heir.^[8]

Giles, his wife, Joan, and their son Richard, held Lutheburgh, Lincolnshire, jointly by the gift of Roger de Breuse by fine levied in the king's court in 34 Edward I, to be held to them and the heirs of the body of Richard, with remainder to his brother, Robert, and the heirs of his body, with remainder to the right heirs of Giles.^[8]

Surname: Richardson standardized the name to "Brewes" and, although the biography is sourced mostly to Richardson, the LNAB [Last Name at Birth] for this profile is "Braose" (EuroAristo naming standards omit "de" from the LNAB field) and the text uses "de Braose" for the family members discussed, including Giles. A G2G discussion about the LNAB to give a sister (Sibyl) notes: "Keats-Rohan in her Domesday Descendants also uses de Braose and she tends to use the name as listed in sources of the time period." Other spellings (included with information from his IPM, above): de Brewosa, de Breuse, and de Breouse.

Magna Carta Project

Giles (Braose) de Braose is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Christopher Calthorpe to Magna Carta Surety Baron Richard de Clare (vol. I, pages 387-392 CALTHORPE). This profile and its trail to Richard de Clare was developed for the Magna Carta Project by Misty Rish Musco in June 2018. This profile was reviewed/approved for the project on 31 Jan 2020 and the trail was badged 17 March 2020 by Noland-165. The full trail can be seen in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
