Baron Braose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Braose (also Breuse , Brewes or Brewose ) was a hereditary British title in the Peerage of England .

Awards and history of the title

The first award of the title was probably around 1290 by Writ of Summons to Sir William de Braose , Lord of Bramber and Gower, of the Braose family . In any case, he took part in the royal parliament of Edward I in April and May 1290. There is documentary evidence of his son, the 2nd Baron, that he was invited to Parliament on December 29, 1299 with the Writ of Summons. When the 2nd Baron died, the title fell in Abeyance between his two daughters in 1326 .

The nephew of the late 2nd Baron, Sir Thomas de Braose , was taken over by King Edward III. convened several times, for the first time on February 25, 1342, to the royal council and on November 20, 1348 to the parliament. According to today's legal opinion, the latter Writ of Summons at the latest is considered to be the new bestowal of the hereditary title, but for unknown reasons none of his descendants was ever appointed to parliament. The title expired with the death of his granddaughter Elizabeth de Saye, de iure 5th Baroness Braose, on July 8, 1399.
