Notes for Eve Marshall
Eve/Eva (d1246) married William de Braose (Briouze), son of Reginald de Braose, before 1219. They had four daughters, and William de Braose was hanged by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in 1230. The stated reason for the hanging was the accusation that William had dallied with Llywelyn’s wife Joan, bastard of King John. This does not withstand close scrutiny, and William was in all probability hung for the crimes of his grandfather, William de Braose lord of Bramber and Abergavenny, against the Welsh.
Eve’s and de Braose’s daughters were: Maud/Matilda (d1301) who married Roger de Mortimer of Wigmore; Isabel (d?) who married (1229) David (d1246), son of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth; Eve (d1255) who married William de Cantelou; and Eleanor (d c 1250) who married Humphrey de Bohun earl of Hereford. It is worth noting that Eve’s daughter, Isabel, was married to the son of the man who had hung her father. Her fate is not known except for the fact that she and David had no children. There are records of letters between Isabel’s uncle William, her mother Eve, and Llywelyn about her marriage contract to David after her father’s death. Given the time period and known practices, it must be assumed that Isabel’s uncle, William, decided that the marriage was necessary for the good of the “feudal” family.

Child 2: Maud
Child 3: Eva
Child 4: Eleanor
After Llewelyn Fawr had hanged Eva's husband, William, he wrote letters (see translations) to her and her brother, William, Earl of Pembroke. He was enquiring whether the marriage between his son, Dafydd, and Isabella de Braose should still go ahead. Evidently they agreed that it should. Nevertheless Llewelyn and Dafydd were never satisfied with the distribution of William's lands among his four heiresses and this led to further armed conflicts in the marches.
Eva continued to hold Braose lands and castles in her own right after the death of her husband. Dugdale mentions her as holder of Totnes in 1230. It is recorded in the Close Rolls (1234-7) that Henry III granted 12 marks to her to strengthen the castle at Hay.
Father: William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, Earl Marshal and Regent of England during the minority of Henry III. He died in May 1219 and is buried in the Temple Church, London. (right)

LLEWELLYN, PRINCE OF ABERFRAU, TO EVA DE BRAOSE
(May 1230)
L. prince of Aberfrau, lord of Snowdonia, to his esteemed friend E. de Braus, with love, greetings.
We ask you in so far as you might inform us regarding your wish, whether you would want to persist with the alliance made between David, our son, and I., your daughter; because she will never remain with us except that the alliance will stand. And if you would not want this, lest any worse harm might be able to happen, you would want to make known soon your will regarding that alliance and regarding the authority of your daughter with us. And you may know that in no way might we have been able to avert what judgement the magnates of our land might not do, considering what revenge they have done because of the scandal and our outrage. And whatever you will have done from there you might take the trouble to make known to us.

Notes for William (Spouse 1)
William de Braose [Black William] was hanged by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in 1230. The stated reason for the hanging was the accusation that William had dallied with Llywelyn’s wife Joan, bastard of King John. This does not withstand close scrutiny, and William was in all probability hung for the crimes of his grandfather, William de Braose lord of Bramber and Abergavenny, against the Welsh.

Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (66:28), (67:28), (68:28), (177:8), (253:29).
Cokayne's "Complete Peerage", (Abergavenny, p.22), (Zouche, p.938).
William is best known for his relationship with LLYWELYN THE GREAT, Prince of Aberffraw (RIN 1084). In 1229 William's daughter, Isabel, was married to LLYWELYN's son, Dafydd. Says John Davies in his book, "A History of Wales" : "So great was the desire of the de Breos family to ally with the prince that the uncle, the brother, and the daughter of William de Breos married members of the house of Aberffraw. [editorial note : this is not quite accurate. William's relatives who married into the house of Aberffraw were : 1.- John de Braose* (RIN 3524), the son of William's uncle, also named William, who married LLYWELYN's daughter, MARGARET (RIN 2952); 2.- William's father, REGINALD, who married, as his second wife, GWLADYS DDU (RIN 1067), another of LLYWELYN's daughters; and of course, 3.- his daughter Isabel.] Yet the relationship between the two families did not prevent LLYWELYN from hanging William de Breos in 1230 for excessive familiarity with JOAN [Llywelyn's wife]. The hanging was an audacious act and the lack of reaction to it is proof of the power of LLYWELYN and the intensity of the desire of William's sons-in-law to obtain their share of his possessions, for William was the last of his branch of the de Breoses." Note also the oddity that both William's step mother (GWALDYS DDU) and his son-in-law (Dafydd) were children of LLYWELYN. Our line is through one of the above-mentioned sons-in-law, ROGER DE MORTIMER, who married William's daughter, MAUD.
