“GRACE BRIWERRE, married (as his 1st wife) REYNOLD DE BREWES (or BREUSE, BRAUSE, BRAOSE), Knt., of Kington, Herefordshire, Bramber, Sussex, also lord of Abergavenny, Brecon, Hay, Radnor, etc., 3rd son of William de Brewes (or Breuse),of Bramber, Sussex, lord of Abergavenny, Brecon, Ower Gwent, seigneur of Briouze, Normandy, etc., by Maud, daughter of Bernard de Saint Valery, Knt.They had one son, William, Knt. He married (2nd) in 1215 GWLADUS DDU OF WALES, daughter of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, Prince of Aberffraw, Lord of Snowdon, by Joan, legitimated daughter of King John of England [see WALES 6 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1217 the king mandated that the justiciary of Ireland grant him seisin of all the lands which belonged to his father in Ireland, including the Castle and city of Limerick In 1218 he was granted half the barony of Tomes, Devon. In 1220 he released the barony of Bramber, Sussex, half the barony of Tomes, Devon, and the manor of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, to his nephew, John de Brewes (son of his elder brother, William), but the Welsh lands at Brecon, Hay, Bergavenny, Radnor, etc., remained with Reynold and his heirs. SIR REYNOLD DE BREWES died shortly before 9 June 1228, and was buried in the Priory church of Brecon. In 1229 his widow, Gwladus, accompanied her brother, David ap Llywelyn, to London. She married (2nd) before 26 October 1230 RALPH DE MORTIMER, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire, etc., Constable of Clun Castle, Shropshire [see MORTIMER 7], younger son of Roger de Mortimer, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, by Isabel, daughter of Walkelin de Ferrers, of Oakham, Rutland, and Lechlade and Longbridge, Gloucestershire. They had four sons, Roger, Knt., Peter, John, clerk, and Hugh, and one daughter, Joan (wife of Peter Corbet, 1st Lord Corbet). Following their marriage, Gwladus' father conceded him the castles of Knighton and Norton, Shropshire, which Llywelyn had in free marriage with Gwladus' mother, Joan, as well as lands in Geri and Cydewen. Ralph was heir in 1227 to his older brother, Hugh de Mortimer. In 1237 Ralph and his wife, Gwladus, sued regarding lands in Knighton and Norton, Shropshire. In 1240 King Henry III granted him seisin of the disputed cantref of Maelienydd, by agreement between the king and Gwladus' brother, David ap Llywelyn. In August 1241 Maredudd ap Hywel and the other Welsh lords of Kerry reserved the right to wage war against Ralph, if he moved against them after their truce with the king. In 1242 he and his wife, Gwladus, sued Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in a plea of land and dower. He fought in Gascony in 1242. RALPH DE MORTIMER died testate 6 August 1246, and was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire. In 1247 his widow, Gwladus, sued John de Gatesdon in a plea of dower in Cotteswood and Laybrook, Sussex. In 1249 Gladus, as widow of Reynold de Breuse, complained that Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, was withholding her dower lands in the burgages of Hay, Breconshire, a mill in Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, the borough of Breckock, Brecknockshire, and a fishery in a river in Blaenllynfi (in Cathedine), Breconshire; the two parties subsequentlycame to an agreement whereby Gwladus should have the third part of the property, as well as damages of 03 2s. In the same term William de Cantelowe the younger sued Gwladus de Mortimer, Maurice de Berkeley, and several others in a writ of a plea of warranty of charter. Gwladus died at Windsor, Berkshire in 1251. She was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire.
