Biography

Agnes, first wife of William Brewes, 2nd Lord Brewes, had by him two children, Aline , who married John Mowbray and 2nd Richard de Peshale; and a second daughter Joan de Brewes, who married Richard Folliot. ^[1]

Douglas Richardson has written concerning Agnes that she was probably a near relative of Lady Clemence de Vescy, "who twice referred to Agnes' grandson, John de Mowbray, 3rd Lord Mowbray, as her cousin". Lady Clemence was on the other also a cousin of the queen, Eleanor of Castile.^[2]

There is no death date given for Agnes, and also no known divorce cited, so Agnes death was before William's second marriage, 24 April 1317, but we have no other information on the date Agnes died.^[3]
