Died in Gloucester, 17 November,1215; buried in South aisle of Hereford Ca
thedral.
Bishop of Hereford from 1200 - 1215, Giles, along with other bishops, le
ft England in 1208 when the Pope's interdict came into force. In 1213 Gil
es and Reginald turned to open war with King John and took the De Braose L
ordships in Wales which John had confiscated on the death of their fath
er in 1211. Giles returned to England with Archbishop Langton in 1214 a
nd the situation in Wales was ratified by John (on payment of a fine in O
ct 1215). Giles became the Lord of Brecon etc. He built the tower of Brec
on Cathedral and is depicted in a window in the North aisle. Giles may al
so have built the tower of Hereford Cathedral. His effigy on the North si
De of the chancel holds a tower.
(In 1202 Hugh De Braose became Dean of Hereford Cathedral. I have not be
en able to trace his family relationships.)
