Matilda (Maud) DE BRAOSE, Heiress of Tavistock
- Born: Tavistock, Devon, England
- Married: Before May 1220
- Died: Before 29 Sep 1279
 Orthographic variations: DE BREUSE, BREWES
Research Notes:
Maud's maritagium included the manor of Tavistock, Devon, which had previously been given in marriage to her aunt, Lorette de Brewes, Countess of Leicester. They had four sons, Henry, Thomas, Knt., John (clerk), and Oliver (clerk), and one daughter, Eve. 1
----------------------------------
Drake, in a short Braose pedigree, records that “Loretta countess of Leicester” [daughter of William [III] de Briouse] granted “the manor and advowson of Tawstock, co. Devon” to “her niece Matilda and the heirs of her body”, citing a writ dated 1391 and adding that the same document confirms that William [IV] de Briouse was the grantor’s brother. He also states that Matilda, the grantee, married “Henry de Tracy Lord of Barnstaple, ob. 2 Edw I (1273-4)”, but does not cite the primary source which confirms that this marriage is correct. However, he does record the manor of Tawstock (presumably Tavistock) was later held by the second husband of Matilda, daughter of Eva de Tracy and heir of Henry de Tracy.... From a chronological point of view, the proposal appears possible. 2
Marriage Information:
Maud married Henry DE TRACY of Barnstaple, Knt., son of Oliver DE TRACY of Barnstaple, Knt. and Eva FITZ WARIN, before May 1220. (Henry DE TRACY was born in Barnstaple, Devon, England and died shortly before 21 Aug 1274.)
