Married to William De Beauchamp (d 1197) of Elmley, Worcs
Child 1: Walter De Beauchamp (d 1235)
The evidence for this marriage is quite complex. There is definitely a mar
riage between a Bertha De Braose and a Beauchamp but authorities diff
er as to the details.
The question has been discussed in Sep 2002 on soc.genealogy.medieval. T
he archives give a good review of the evidence. Thanks to Chris Phillips a
nd Cris Nash for a valuable discussion.
The view I take seems to be the one best supported by the available eviden
ce.
Keats-Rohan in Domesday Descendants gives a different view but it is not c
lear what evidence she uses to come to her position.
The arms shown are attributed to William De Beauchamp in a roll of Ed I. (
