- Abergavenny Castle - South of the town centre, Monmouthshire, southeast Wales.
- Lord of Abergavenny.
Rebuilt Abergavenny Castle, Wales, pre-1175 ,
he was much hated by native Welsh,
through his wife inherited Dunamase Castle, Co.Laois,
title extinct, later went to Beauchamp.
Was quite possibly
the cruelest and most hated
of all the great Norman
Marcher Lords. Practically
all the Marcher Lords were
forced to deal with a rebellious and resentful Welsh population in violent
ways in order to protect their newly-awarded 'kingdoms,' but de
Braose time and time again seems to have gone out of his way to commit
acts of cruelty that went beyond his contemporaries. Although some
would say his family eventually got what they deserved, the extinction
of the male line and a forfeiture of all lands, de Braose stands out as an
example of what the native Welsh population were up against, and why
they rebelled so ferociously against the Norman invaders.
