Subject: Re: Braose - De Brewes - de Briwere
There was a long discussion on this newsgroup around March 2002 on the
topic
of the various spellings of Braose and which might be the preferred usage.
You can find it in the archive by searching for "spelling braose".
Briwer, Bruere, Brewer is a totally different family.
Doug Thompson
====================== In other words, Douglas Richardson did use the wrong
spelling, I wonder why.

Leo,
I understand the many spelling, however, I did think that Braose and
Briwere
were two different families. Am I incorrect?

Douglas Richardson has put his finger on the inconsistency of medieval
spelling.
For some names there are many variations, and which one should be used?
If you look in CP Volume I page 281. here we find Braose see Brewes.
Then CP Volume I pages 302 to 310 has several entries
Page 302 begins with BREWES, Breus see Brewes, Breuse, Brewes or
Breworse, a
Barony of 1290
Page 304 had an entry for Breuse or Brewes, Sir Richard de Breuse first
summoned
in 1276
Page 308 has an entry for Brewes, Brewose, Breouse, or Brewes, Barony of
1348
Volumne XIV pages 110 to 112 has the heading Brewes
--------
Burke's extinct Peerage, 1866, pages 72 and 73 uses de Braose. Here the
mentioned Grace, wife of Reginald, is recorded as Groecia, daughter of
William
de Bruere
-------
Turton in his Plantagenet Ancestry, page 78, uses de Braose for the main
family
and Grace is here as Grace de Briwere.
--------
Gary Boyd Roberts in his Royal Descent of 600 Immigrants (see index page
624)
uses de Braose
------
Weiss in Ancestral Roots, 7th edition, adds yet another spelling, Braose
(see
Braiose) Brewer (see Briwere)
------
I am sure this family can be found in many more publications (secondary
sources)
and so the question arises what do primary sources say?
But then "tradition" several times uses names or spellings not used by
the
people concerned themselves. I suppose we should use the name/spelling
recognised by most. My vote goes to de Braose.
