_MDCL Went insane during period of imprisonment that ended in her starvation & death.In "Ance stral Roots" I find that Maud de St. Valerie, wife of William de Braiose (177-6), was kille d by King John by being walled up with her young son William in her castle in 1210. Does any one know the story behind her death?
Essentially, in about 1206-7 John, for reasons unknown, started to persecute William de Briou ze and others. Over the next several years things went from bad to worse. In 1208, John deman ded hostages from William and Matilda (Maud) apparently said that she wouldn't deliver up he r sons to John as he had murdered his nephew Arthur. After this things got really bad and Wil liam and his family were forced to flee to Ulster (William was Lord of Limerick). In spring 1 210 John prepared an expedition to Ireland and Matilda fled with her sons to Scotland (Willia m was in Wales at this time). Matilda and the children were captured by a Scots lord and hand ed over to John. Matilda and the eldest son (William IV) were imprisoned, and were never see n again. The common report, recorded in several monastic annals, was that they had been starv ed to death.
