Second or third son.

PHILIP [II] de Briouse (-after 1177). "Willielmus de Braiosa" confirmed the donations to the church of Saints Gervais et Protais de Briouze by "Philippus de Braiosa pater eiusdem Willielmi", by undated charter, witnessed by "Bertam conjugem meam, Philippum fratrem meum"[1148]. "Willelmus de Braiosa, Philippi filius" notified "filio suo" that he had donated "Armigetone mansionem" to the monks of Saint-Florent by charter dated to [1140], witnessed by "Robertus frater meus…", later confirmed by "Willelmus dominus de Braiosa filius Philippi, avi mei filii Willelmi" witnessed by "Bertam conjugem meam, Philippum fratrem meum…"[1149]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Philippus de Braosa" held two knight´s fee in Hampshire from the bishop of Winchester, as well as claiming a third which was held by "Willelmus de Braosa"[1150]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Philippo de Braiosa" in Dorset and Somerset[1151]. The Annals of Tigernach (Continuation) record that “three fleets of Englishmen arrived in Ireland” in 1177, those of “Hugo de Lacy…William Fitz Audeline and…Philip de Breusa (Pilip de Preis)”, adding that Philip´s went to Waterford[1152]. King John confirmed "honore de Limeric" to "Willo de Braos", as King Henry II had granted it to "Philipp de Braos avunculo predicti Willlemi", by charter dated 12 Jan 1201[1153].

Philip was left in charge of Wexford when Henry II left Ireland in 1172. Later that year he received a grant of North Munster ( without the City of Limerick) but was unable to take possession.

Philip was Governor of Ireland (Procurator) from 1 Sep 1184 to 25 April 1185 (when Prince John became Governor)

[See Herbert Wood's "The Office of Chief Governor of Ireland, 1172 - 1509" pub in Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Vol 36, Sect C, no 12 (1923). Revised by H G Richardson & G O Sales, "The Administration of Ireland, 1172 - 1377" (Dublin, 1963) and A J Otway-Ruthven, "The Chief Governors of Medieval Ireland ", Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, xcv (1965), 227-36. ]

Gerald of Wales asserts that Philip was Sheriff of Pembroke in about 1198. [ De Invectionibus, Part 6, Cap. IX ]

Bramber Castle

William De Braose constructed the motte and bailey castle at Bramber c1070, along with the Norman church, and most of the surviving masonry dates from this time. Except for a period of confiscation during the reign of King John, Bramber Castle remained in the ownership of the De Braose family until the line died out in 1324. During Norman times the coastline would have been much further inland, and at high tide the water would have reached the castle walls.

Despite very little surviving, the basic layout of some areas of Bramber Castle can still be identified. The most prominent feature is a large, rugged lump of stone, all that remains of the Gatehouse tower. Still standing to almost its full height, a single window, and some floor joist holes, are clearly visible within the structure. Beyond the Gatehouse are the existing foundations of what is believed to have been living quarters and a guardhouse. The dressed pillars of an entrance can be made out, but the bulk of the remaining walls now consist of only the basic rough stone infil, the better quality dressing stone having long since been quarried away for use elsewhere. Lying to the north of the gatehouse is the original castle motte, its earthen mound rising to a height of some 30ft (10m). A short distance away is a section of the curtain wall and, again, this survives to a reasonable height, up to 10ft (3m) in places.

Little is known of Bramber Castle's history and even records kept during the Civil War only mention a 'skirmish' in the village c1642. The church suffered quite badly as a result of the Cromwellian guns being set up in the transepts, where they afforded a better vantage point to fire on Bramber Castle.

Although there is not much to see among the fragmentary ruins, the site does have a wonderful setting, and is obviously enjoyed by the local population around this quiet Sussex village. The lawned areas in the bailey are well maintained, mature trees have transformed the motte into a pleasant shady glade, and the moat now provides a perfect path around the castle perimeter from which to view the site.

Philip De Braose, Jr. is my 29th great uncle.
