Biography

"John de Braose of Glasbury was one of four sons of John de Braose of Bramber and Gower by Margaret ferch Llywelyn.^[1] He occurs in a contemporary genealogy where he is named with two of his brothers (Richard is missing).

Following the death of his father, he remained in the care of his mother who remarried to Walter de Clifford. He was primarily associated with the lands of the Clifford family in Glasbury which he obtained from his step-father.

A grant of quittance of various duties to the crown, together with a weekly Tuesday market at Culminton and an annual fair at Michaelmas was given at Woodstock on 16 July 1257 to John de Breuse and his heirs in his demesnes of Culminton, Siveton, Norton and La Bach in Shropshire.^[2]

Complete Peerage says of him:

" He had disputes about this manor(on the borders of cos. Brecon and Radnor) with Roger de Clifford in 1272, and with John Giffard of Brimpsfield and Maud his wife. John and Maud conceded the manor to him and his heirs male in 1275, and Roger's claim was settled for 100 marks of silver. (Curia Regis, roll no. 205, mm. 5 d, 6 d, 15; Coram Rege, Mich. 3-4 Edw 1, m. 41, Mich. 4-5 Edw. 1, m. 17 Mich. 5-6 Edw. 1, m. 8)"

An Inquisition Post Mortem dated Wednesday after Hilary 24 Edward I (January 1295/6) at Worcester mentions a third of the manor of Bisseley being held by Margery, late the wife of John de Breuse.^[3]
