Henry III King of England ordered the release of "Johannes, Egidius et Philippus et Walterus filii Willelmi de Braosa" dated [Jan] 1218. Bracton records that “Johannes de Breiusa” demanded “castrum de Brembre” from “[Reginaldus] de Breiusa”, dated 1219, stating that it had been held by “Willelmus de Breiusa avus suus” and descended by law to “Willelmo filio suo et heredi et patri ipsius Johannis” and that he was then 22 years old “vel prope xxii annorum” [which suggests that the age may have been overstated]. Henry III King of England notified a land agreement between "Reginaldum de Braosa" and "Johannem de Braosa" dated 5 Nov 1226.
The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "John de Bruse died of a cruel death having been bruised by his horse" in 1232. 2
