About Henry de Briwere

Cawley in Medlands doesn't name him: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/enguntac.htm#_Toc21079003

--- de Briwere, son of WILLIAM de Briwere & his wife --- (-before 21 Mar 1200). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 21 Mar 1200 under which King John confirmed the grant of "foresta nostra de la Bera", granted by King Henry I to "Willelmus Briwerr avus eius", to his son "Willelmo Briwere"[1976].

m ---. The name of his wife is not known.

[Five] children:

1. WILLIAM de Briwere (-24 Nov 1226). King John confirmed the grant of "foresta nostra de la Bera", granted by King Henry I to "Willelmus Briwerr avus eius", to "Willelmo Briwere" by charter dated 21 Mar 1200[1977]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Willelmus Bruere" holding (unspecified) knights’ fees "Burbeche" in Wiltshire, and land "Stokes et Siteleshangre quæ fuerunt Gerardi de Mauqu[eney]" in Northamptonshire, in [1210/12][1978]. Matthew Paris names “...Willelmus Briwere...” among the "consiliarios iniquissimos” of King John[1979]. A charter which records the foundation of Motisfont Priory, Hampshire states that “dominus Willielmus Briwer, fundator ecclesiæ de Mottesfount” died "VIII Kal Dec", lists his donations including the donation of land "in Muchelmares" and revenue from land "in villa de Burbache" for the soul of "Beatricis uxoris suæ qui obiit IX Kal Apr"[1980]. m BEATRICE, daughter of --- (-24 Mar


). A charter which records the foundation of Motisfont Priory, Hampshire states that “dominus Willielmus Briwer, fundator ecclesiæ de Mottesfount” donated land "in Muchelmares" and revenue from land "in villa de Burbache" for the soul of "Beatricis uxoris suæ qui obiit IX Kal Apr"[1981]. The Complete Peerage states that Dugdale calls the wife of William de Briwere "Beatrice de Valle, says she was the mistress of Rainald Earl of Cornwall", but does not cite a primary source on which this information is based[1982]. The chronology does not appear to favour the subsequent marriage of the mistress of Earl Renaud to William de Briwere. The marriages of the latter’s children are recorded in the first decade of the 13th century, their births being therefore estimated to [1185/1200]. Even if Earl Renaud’s mistress gave birth to the earl’s illegitimate son in the last decade of his life (when he would have been in his sixties), it is unlikely that she could have continued bearing children into the later 1190s. William & his wife had seven children:

a) RICHARD de Briwere (-after 10 Dec 1213). "Willelmus de Briwerr" paid a fine for "heritenda filia Hug de Morevill cum tota hereditate sua qu id Hugo tenuit die q fuit vivus et mortuus" and for the marriage of "ipsie file ad op Ric filii sui [%E2%80%A6Ric Briwerr fil ipsius Willmi] vel si parentes ipsi puelle ad h assensint ad op Ric Gernon nepotis sui si eid Willo placuit", dated 1201[1983].

The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Ricardus Briwere" holding 15 knights’ fees "de terra quæ fuit Walteri Bretonis de honore de Hoccecumbe" in Dorset, Somerset in [1210/12][1985]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Ricardus Briwer" held "de domino rege feudum I militis in hundredo de Katesaisse de honore de Blakedon…Ivelcestr" in Somerset[1986]. King John confirmed "manerium…de Cestres et Derebisr et Brumiton et Withinton" to "Ricardo Briwer fil W. Briw", at the request of "W. Briw patris sui", by charter dated 10 Dec 1213[1987].

Bracton records a claim, dated 1233, by "Hugo Wack" against "Margeriam de Feritate et Willelmum de Percy" relating to an agreement "cum Alicia de Moun et predicto Hugone" concerning share of land which was held by "Willelmi Briwere"[1992].

Clearly these two documents refer to the same person but it is not known whether Richard or William was his actual name.

Name: Henry de BRIWERE , of Stoke 1
Sex: M Birth: ABT 1113 in Torre Brewer Manor, Tormoham, Devon, England Note:

   Bill Prokasy, in an e-mail, questioned Henry Briwere & Miss Walton, but especially questioned his other wife Joan de Reviers.
   I checked in soc.genealogy.medieval (SGM) and found three postings listing the Henry de Briwere/Daughter de Walton marriage, with William as the son. Unfortunately all three were asking for verification of their data, and listed no sources. The best that can be said is none of the "experts" raised any objection over the Henry/Walton-William relationship in the three postings.
   I originally had a Joan de Reviers as a 1st wife & mother of the daughter who m. Ralph de Gernon, but could find no support for that in any reliable source. It also looks similar (and therefore probably mistaken for) the Joan de Vernon, daughter of William de Vernon & Mabel Beaumont, who married William Briwere, b. c1178, (son of William Briwere, b. c1145), who dsp. and left his sisters as his heirs. Therefore I have eliminated Joan as wife of Henry de Briwere.
