Notes

~ Cokayne's Complete Peerage, 2nd Edition, Vol. I, (Abergavenny), p. 22, Reynold de Briouze married Grecia, daughter and in her issue, coheir of William Brieguerre or Briwere, by his wife Beatrice de Vaux. 141

• From http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/e/i/Robert-Seipp/WEBSI... The following information was contained in a post-em by Cur t Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com:

Beatrice de Valle (or Vaux), wife of William Briwerre, wa s almost certainly the daughter of Hubert de Vaux, baron of Gilsland (see ID 20718?), Cumberland, by his wife, Grace.

The evidence for this is slim but compelling. Beatrice ha d property in Devonshire as her maritagium. The early hist ory of this property is shrouded.

However, Hubert de Vaux is known to have owned property in Devonshire, and probably lived there during part of his l ife. Beatrice de Valle had a daughter Grace Briwerre who I presume was named for her mother, Grace de Vaux. Grace was rather rare as a woman's name in that period. I hav e proven that William Briwerre acquired property from one o f Beatrice's Vaux brothers and I have proven that William B riwerre was involved in a suit with the widow of another brother. If nothing else, this proves that the two families knew each other well.
