Notes:
                   Nicknamed "Tadody" by the Welsh when he was hidden in Gower as a childafter King John had his father and grandmother killed.   He was later inthe custody of Engelard de Cigogny (castellan of Windsor) along with hisbrother Giles.  Cigogny was ordered to give the two boys up to William deHarcourt in 1214.  At this time John became separated from his brother.He was present at the signing of the Magna Charta in 1215.

John disputed his uncle Reginald's claim to the Braose lands, sometimesresorting to arms.  Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, helped him to secure Gower(1219).  In 1221, with the advice and permission of Llewelyn, he repairedhis castle of Abertawy (Swansea).  He purchased the Rape of Bramber fromReginald and his son William in 1226.  In that year John confirmed thefamily gifts to Sele Priory, near Bramber, and to the Abbey of StFLorent, Saumur, and added others.  After the death of Reginald (1228) hebecame Lord of Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle, the three Marchercastles, by charter from the king but he lost these in 1230 to Hugh deBurgh at the same time as Gower became a subtenancy of de Burgh's Honourof Carmarthen and Cardigan.

Joan de Braose, surnamed Tadody, had been privately nursed by a Welshwoman at Gower. This John had grants of lands from King Henry III and wasalso possessed of the Barony of Brembye, in Sussex, where he died in1231, by a fall from his horse, his foot sticking in the stirrup. Hemarried, it is stated, Margaret, dau. of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, bywhom (who m. afterwards Walter de Clifford) he had a son, his successor,William de Braose.
