Willoghby - Braose (Paul Davis' question)

Legg inn av Doug Thompson » 22 feb 2007 16:54:54

Back in 2002 Paul Davis asked about the connection between Willoughby and
Braose which is implied by the quartering of Willoughby arms given in the
Visitation of Nottinghamshire.

The Braose arms given included the red Fleur de lys on the shoulder of the
lion which is only known on the arms of Giles de Braose, son of William de
Braose and Agnes de Moels.

I think I solved this today.

1. Note that the Willoughby arms quartering has Filliol next to Brewes.

2. The granddaughter and heiress of Giles married a Frome (taking Woodlands
in Dorset to him)

3. The Frome coheiress, Joan, married William Filliol.

4. A couple of generations on, William Filliol still has Woodlands. He has
(at least) two daughters. One married Edward Seymour, the other was Ann who
married Edward Willoughby.

The estate papers of the Willoughby family, available on A2A, show that Ann
brought Woodlands to the Willoughbys!

The Willoughbys got the arms in their quartering dead right.
