Braose - De Brewes - de Briwere

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.

I'll add another spelling to the list: Breos (used in Wales) - IMO
this is a phonetic spelling of Braiose.
(It still doesn't fit with Briwere.)
