      - Lord of Abergavenny.

       
      Rebuilt Abergavenny Castle, Wales, pre-1175 , he was much hated by native Welsh, through his wife inherited Dunamase Castle, Co.Laois, title extinct, later went to Beauchamp.

       
      Was quite possibly the cruelest and most hated of all the great Norman Marcher Lords. Practically all the Marcher Lords were forced to deal with a rebellious and resentful Welsh population in violent ways in order to protect their newly-awarded "kingdoms," but de Braose time and time again seems to have gone out of his way to commit acts of cruelty that went beyond his contemporaries. Although some would say his family eventually got what they deserved, the extinction of the male line and a forfeiture of all lands, de Braose stands out as an example of what the native Welsh population were up against, and why they rebelled so ferociously against the Norman invaders.
