Facts and Events
Alice de Braose Only child of Lord de Braose, landholder in Sussex and the Gower, born ca. 1290 in Bramber and died before 1 July 1331 in Swansea. As detailed on the previous page concerning her first husband, John de Mowbray :- Edward II took all John's lands into his own hands, imprisoning the widow Alice and son John in the Tower of London. Under pressure Alice disclaimed her inheritance in Sussex, which was re-granted to the Despencers now back in favour. Her husband had not lived to see Edward II come to his grisly end in 1327 in the dungeon of Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire. In the next reign Alice obtained confirmation of Gowerland to herself and the heirs of her body by her deceased husband. Lady Mowbray married secondly Sir R. de Peshale and died in 1332. References
