Next listing of a father is Walter with a birthdate oe 1120, before William's.

- Some sources have shown Maud's father as William de Braose, born abt 1084.

However, other sources have found no hard evidence that William de Beauchamp married a Maud de Braose.

See the following notes:

William de Beauchamp (d.1170) of Salwarpe and Elmley allegedly married
Bertha dau. of William de Braose (d.1211). The latter's great grandson,
William de Braose (d.1230) of Abergavenny had a dau. & coheir Maud (d.1301)
who married Roger de Mortimer (d.1282) of Wigmore. Saunders gives no
marriage of a Bertha de Braose (or of a Maud de B) to William de Beauchamp.
Turton does give the marriage of Bertha and William based on information
from the first edition (1910) of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*. As far as I
can tell the second edition omits any reference to the early Beauchamps. B
Burke's *Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages of the British
Empire* (London, 1883) p.29 has William Beachamp marrying a Maud de Braose.
Since (1) Burke is to be treated with extreme caution, (2)it seems that the
editors of the second edition of *The Complete Peerage* deleted material on
the early Beauchamps and (3) Saunders notes marriages between the baronial
families dealt with but omits this marriage, the upshot would seem to be
that there is no hard evidence of a Braose marriage to William Beauchamp
(d.1170).
