William II de , 1st Baron of Gwentland Braose 
William II de , 1st Baron of Gwentland was born in 1112 in Abergavenny, Gwent, Wales. William II de , 1st Baron of Gwentland's father was Philip Baron de , Sir Braose and his mother was Aenor de Toteneis. His paternal grandparents were William I Baron de , Sir Braose and Agnes de St. Clare; his maternal grandparents were Jukel Judeal de Totnes and Miss de Picquigny. He had a sister named Maud de. He was the younger of the two children. He died before 1193 in Weobley, Herefordshire, England. He was buried in Sheriff of Herefordshire.General Notes
William was very fortunate in his marriage to Berta. All of her brothers died young without heirs, so she brought a number of important lordships to the de Braoses in 1166. These included Brecon and Abergavenny. William became Sheriff of Hereford in 1174. His interest in Sussex was maintained as he confirmed the grants of his father and grandfather for the maintenance of Sele Priory and extended St Mary's, Shoreham.

He had two sons, William and Reginald, and was s. by the elder.

-------------------------------
From c1173 to 1230 successive fathers, sons, and younger brothers called de Briouze were feudal lords of Abergavenny. William de Briouze, the first of them, who derived his name from his lordship of Briouze in Normandy, married the sister and coheir of the 2nd Earl of Hereford (also daughter of 1st Earl) mentioned above, which seems to account for his coming into possession of a lordship in that part of the Welsh marches.
