Sheriff of Hereford, Lord Bramber William de Braose II 
William was born in 1112 in Brecknock, Bramber, Sussex, England.1 William's father was Sir Philip (Crusader) de Braose Lord of Bramber and his mother was Aenor de Totnes. His paternal grandparents were Sir William de Braose I and Agnes St. Clair; his maternal grandparents were Lord Barnstable Juhel de Totnes and Adele de Picquigny. He had three brothers and three sisters, named John, Philip, Gideon, Basilia, Maud and Maud. He was the second youngest of the seven children. He died at the age of 80 in 1192 in Bramber Castle, Sussex, England.2 General Notes
William de Braose, Third Lord of Bramber (d. ca. 1180) was the eldest son of Philip de Braose, Second Lord of Bramber. William married Bertha de Pitres, daughter of Miles of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford. Through this marriage, William acquired lordship of Brecon and Abergavenny in 1166 because Bertha's brothers all died young without heirs.
In 1174, William became sheriff of Hereford. He was succeeded as Lord of Bramber by his son, William.

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 Herefordshire 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.
