House of Braose

Reginald's son William V died leaving 4 daughters co-heiresses to all the family's Welsh lands, but Bramber and Gower passed back to the senior family line which held them until 1326 when William VII died leaving two daughters co-heiresses.

The most significant members of this family were as follows, with ordinal numbers based on those shown by Sanders, English Baronies: These arms were attributed to William III de Braose (d.1211) by Matthew Paris in Historia Anglorum, Chronica Majora, Part III (1250–59) British Library MS Royal 14 C VII f. 29v[6] (shown there inverted to denote his death): Party per fesse gules and azure, three garbs or.

Matthew Paris is not generally regarded as a reliable source for heraldry and these arms must be considered doubtful.

Matthew Paris (c.1200-1259) in his Historia Anglorum (folio 116) attributed the arms, Party per pale indented gules and azure, to William V de Braose (d.1230).

They appear as a marginal drawing of an inverted shield referring to his "impious murder" (Nota impiam murthram).
