William de Braose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William de Braose was a recurring family name within the infamous de Braose dynasty of Norman and medieval Lords with significant land holdings and power base in the Welsh Marches of southern and mid Wales, and at Bramber in Sussex immediately following the Norman Conquest and continuing for over twelve successive generations thereafter through turbulent times.
William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber and 7th Baron Abergavenny was infamous for the Christmas Day Massacre of Welsh Princes at Abergavenny Castle in 1175.
