Annora, the twelfth child of William De Braose, was married to Hugh De Mor
timer, the heir of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore. Her marriage portion consist
ed of the manors of Tetbury and Hampnett in Gloucestershire. She was captu
red and imprisoned by King John in 1210 when attempting to flee from Irela
nd with her mother. Annora was released in October 1214, the year her husb
and succeeded to his lands. When he died in 1227 the king allowed her to k
eep an income of 100 shillings from land in Charlton and Cherrington, par
ts of the manor of Tetbury, to maintain her as a recluse. Annora granted s
ome of her lands at Tetbury to Godstow abbey, where her sister Flandrina w
as later to become the abbess, but she became an anchoress at the nearby c
hurch of Iffley. Records exist of her receiving an annual gift of firewo
od from the king and occasional other gifts of food, clothing and buildi
ng materials. The last gifts were made by the king in 1241 and some have c
oncluded that she died then. It may be significant though that this is t
he year that William De Braose (d1290), her grandnephew, came of age, reco
vering the Braose lordship of Bramber and Gower from the king. It may be t
hat he took over responsibility for her maintenance at that time.
