REFN: 9123AN
Died: 1205
Evidence for the existence of John is recorded in the Close Roll of 1205 d
ated 26th March where William De Braose is released from the debt to Ki
ng John which he owed for the marriage of Amabil De Limesi to his son, Joh
n.
Amabil and John are also mentioned in the Pipe Roll, 7 John, Warwick and L
eicester, where Amabil pays a fine for her petition not to be remarried af
ter the death of John De Braiosa.
The Knill family have claimed that John had descendants including Jo
hn De Knill, the founder of their family. The Knill arms are a varia
nt of the De Braose arms: gules, crusily fitchy, a lion rampant or. (right
)
However, the fact that Limesi lands were divided between Amabil's two youn
ger sisters makes the above claim unlikely. It would seem that Amabil h
ad died without issue from any of her three marriages.
Father: William De Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber
Mother: Maud De St Valery
Married to Amabil De Limesi in 1204.
