Bertha de Gloucester, Heiress of Brecon 1
- Born: Brecon (Aberhonddu), Powys, Wales
- Married: Bef 1140
 Research Notes:
The Historia fundationis cum fundatoris genealogia of the priory of Abergavenny names “Margaretam, Bertam et Luciam” as the three daughters of “Milonem” & his wife, adding that Berthe married “Philippo de Brusa domino de Duelth“ (naming their descendants) and inherited “tota terra Breconić, Wencić superioris et Gower”. A manuscript narrating the history of Brecknock priory records that “Berte” married “Willame de Brewes”, and also lists her descendants. "Willielmus de Braiosa" confirmed the donations to the church of Saints Gervais et Protais de Briouze by "Philippus de Braiosa pater eiusdem Willielmi", by undated charter, witnessed by "Bertam conjugem meam, Philippum fratrem meum". 2
Marriage Information:
Bertha married William II de Braose, 10th Lord of Abergavenny, son of Philip I de Braose and Aenor (Eleanor) de Totnes, Heiress of Barnstaple, before 1140. (William II de Braose was born before 5 Jan 1096 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales and died after 1175 in Weobley, Herefordshire, England.)
