William de Braose (died 1230)

He was an ill-fated member of the House of Braose, a powerful and long-lived dynasty of Marcher Lords.

The Welsh, who detested him and his family name, called him Gwilym Ddu, Black William.

They had four daughters:[citation needed] He was captured by the Welsh forces of Prince Llywelyn the Great, in fighting in the commote of Ceri near Montgomery, in 1228.

After William's death, his wife Eva continued to hold de Braose lands and castles in her own right.

She was listed as the holder of Totnes in 1230, and was granted 12 marks to strengthen Hay Castle by King Henry III on the Close Rolls (1234–1237).
