These included Brecon and Abergavenny.William became Sheriff of Hereford in 1174. His interest in Sussex wasmaintained as he confirmed the grants of his father and grandfather forthe maintenance of Sele Priory and extended St Mary's, Shoreham. William m.

He had two sons,William and Reginald, and was s. by the elder. [Sir Bernard Burke,Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd.,London, 1883, p. 72, Braose, Baron Braose, of Gower] From c1173 to 1230 successive fathers, sons, and younger brothers calledde Briouze were feudal lords of Abergavenny. William de Briouze, thefirst of them, who derived his name from his lordship of Briouze inNormandy, married the sister and coheir of the 2nd Earl of Hereford (alsodaughter of 1st Earl) mentioned above, which seems to account for hiscoming into possession of a lordship in that part of the Welsh marches.[Burke's Peerage]
