Origin and youth
Walter came from the Anglo- Norman Braose family . He was a younger son of William de Braose , the eldest son of William de Braose, 4th Baron of Bramber , and his wife Maud de Clare .
After the fall of his grandfather, he and his father and brothers were taken prisoner by King John of England in 1210 . While his father and grandmother died in the king's captivity, the children were left alive. According to conflicting information, the brothers were held captive at Corfe or Windsor Castle until they were finally released in 1218. In June 1223 Walter married Hawise de Londres , the heiress of Kidwelly , a dominion in the Welsh Marches . Braose became Lord of Kidwelly on behalf of his wife, but Anglo-Norman rule over the barony was not consolidated. During the Anglo-Welsh War from 1231 to 1234 , Kidwelly Castle was conquered by the Welsh in 1231. During the war, Braose served as constable of the royal Carmarthen Castle in 1233 . He fell in 1233 or 1234, no later than January 14, 1234 in the battle against the Welsh.
His marriage to Hawise had remained childless, after his death Hawise married Henry de Turberville.
