Lord Brecknock, Abergavenny William de Braose (William de Braiose) 
William was born in 1197 in Brecknock, Surrey, Wales, England.1 William's father was 7th Lord Abergavenny Reginald de Braose and his mother was Grace de Briwere. His paternal grandparents were 4th Lord of Bramber William (The Ogre of Abergavenny) de Braose III and Maud St. Valery; his maternal grandparents were Lord of Horsley William de Briwere II and Beatrix de Vaux. He was an only child. He died by execution, hanged by Llywelyn the Great, at the age of 33 on May 2nd, 1230 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales.2 General Notes
William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny (ca. 1197 - May 2, 1230) was the son of Reginald de Braose. He succeeded his father in his various lordships in 1227, including Abergavenny and Builth.
He was captured and imprisoned (as an act of retaliation) by Llywelyn the Great, ruler of most of Wales, in 1229, but was given relative freedom because he was related to the prince by marriage in several ways - his daughter, Isabella, was married to Llywelyn's only legitimate son. However, in the following year, Llywelyn is said to have discovered that his wife, Joan, had committed adultery with William, and had William hanged on May 2, 1230. Joan herself was later pardoned.
