supported
Giles in his rebellions
against King John.
They were both active
against the King in the
barons' war.
Neitherwas present at the signing of Magna Carta
because they were still rebels whorefused to compromise. K. John
aquiesced to Reginald's claims to the deBraose estates in Wales in May 1216. He
became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and other Marcher Lordships but
was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd and now his
father-in-law. Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates
(confiscated from William by K. John) in 1217.
At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and
Owain, Reginald's nephews who were
princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and
they took Builth (except the castle).
Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and
beseiged Brecon. Reginald eventually
surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up
Seinenydd (Swansea). By 1221 they were
at war again with Llewelyn laying seige
to Builth. The seige was relieved by Henry
III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn
tended to support the claims of
Reginald's nephew John concerning the de
Braose lands.
Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of
Magna Carta by Henry III in 1225.
Said to be buried at St. Johns Church in Brecon Castle.
