- 3rd Lord of Bramber.
William was
very fortunate in his
marriage to Berta.
All of her brothers
died young without
heirs so she brought
a number of
important lordships
to the de
Braoses in 1166.
These included
Brecon and
Abergavenny.
William became
Sheriff of
Hereford in
1174. His
interest in
Sussex was
maintained as
he confirmed
the grants of his
father and
grandfather for
the
maintenance of
Sele Priory and
extended St.
Mary's,
Shoreham.
