Philip confirmed his father's gifts to the abbey of St. Florent in 1096.He was the first Braose Lord of Builth and Radnor, their initial holdingin the Welsh Marches. Philip seems to have gone on the 1st Crusade andreturned in 1103. He built the Norman church of St Nicolas (right) at OldShoreham and founded the port of New Shoreham. His lands were confiscatedby Henry I in 1110, due to his traitrous support of William, son ofRobert Curthose but they were returned in 1112.
Between 1125 and 1130 Philip confirmed the gifts of his nephew, Philip deHarcourt, to the newly established Knights Templar.
Father: William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber
Mother: Eve de Boissey (probably)
There are charters where Robert de Harcourt's sons, Philip and Richard,refer to Philip de Braose as "patruus" - paternal uncle. This lendsweight to the theory that Robert de Harcourt and Philip de Braose wereboth sons of Eve de Boissey. In another record dated 1103 (Pipe Roll Soc.Vol 71 no 544) it is stated that Philip de Braose was represented by "hisbrother Robert, the son of Anketill".
