He [Ralph de Mortimer] married, in 1230, Gladys (Gladusa) Duy, orDark-eyed, daughter of Llewelyn AP JORWORTH, by his 2nd wife, Joan(illegitimate daughter of KiNG JOHN), and widow of Reynold DE BRAOSE[died June 1228). He died 6 August 1246, and was buried at Wigmore. Hiswidow died in 1251. [Complete Peerage IX:275-6, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)]

NOTE: The identity of Gwladus's mother is still a matter of debate. Thereis no clear contemporary evidence that her mother was Joan, and adaughter of Llewelyn and Joan could not have been aged more than about 9in 1215. The only direct statements appear to come some centuries later.One strand of the later tradition does identify Gwladus's mother as Joan,but another says she was Llewelyn's mistress Tangwystl.

------------------------------------

Let me make one final general observation. There was a definite andtimely reason that Reginald de Broase married Gwladys Ddu in 1215. Hisbrother Giles, Bishop of Hereford, rebelled as soon as he received aroyal grant of 'his' patrimony and joined Llywelyn (as leader of theWelsh forces) in general rebellion against John (remember that this wasalso about the time the North of England, etc., rebelled against John).Reginald immediately joined his brother in marching on their patrimony inthe Marches to secure it by force. To cement their alliance (Giles beinga bishop and all), Reginald was married to a daughter of PrinceLlywelyn. Her name happened to be Gwladys, the dark eyed.

I would find it EXTRAORDINARILY coincidental if Gwladys just happened tobe BARELY age twelve in 1215, when it was found expedient to marry her toReginald. He was older, already experienced in the art of war and theability to lead men. His elder deceased brother William was alreadyfather of four sons held as hostages by King John.

I would be utterly amazed if we found that Gwladys was aged twelve in1215. The cause of their marriage was not (as far as we know) aprearranged marriage contract that happened to coincide with politicalexpediency--the marriage was a RESULT of the political events thatoccurred in 1215.

After Reginald de Braose betrayed Llywelyn and became King John's man in1217 [to give homage, one had to be in the actual presence of the King],and his nephew John de Braose was released in 1218, Llywelyn found aready ally in the younger John, who was attempting to get his rightfulinheritance from Reginald (who was in possession of most of it), in 1218,Llywelyn, out of political expediency, married his daughter Margared tothis John.

Thus, if the marriage between Gwladys and Reginald was the result ofpolitical events, and they had not been heatedly awaiting her birthday sothat they could be wed in a full and legal manner that would bepermanent--rather than something that could be easily broken (or at leastbroken with some effort and complicity)--I would conclude it is mostlikely that Gwladys was actually older than twelve years old in 1215.Does that seem reasonable?

Nicholas Tregoze, heir to his brother. This person married Eva -- (whosurvived him); and before 3rd Edw. I.

He then however held one fee in Tolleshunte, in Essex, and hadassize of bread and ale there; but 'the Hundredors (Inq. Rot. Hund.) knewnot by what warrant.' Nicholas Tregoze died s. p. before or in 7th Edw.I. (1278-9), for in that year Richard de Holebrooke was commanded toseize for the King the manors of Tolleshunte and Blunteshall, which hadbeen his (Nicholas's), and which be had held in capite. Of this NicholasTregoze, we also find the following mention in the Hundred Rolls ofEssex, 2nd Edw. I. 'They (the Hundredors of Witham) say, that Roger deChaundeford took five silver marks unjustly of Roger Fitz-John, whomNicholas Tregoz had unjustly imprisoned, nor could he be liberated, evenby the King's command, until he had made the said satisfaction to thesaid Roger de Cbatmdeford.'

2, Joan Tregoze, wife of ------ de Burnham and mother of James deBurnham, her son and heir.
3. Hawisia, wife of [William] Gernoun, by whom she had a son John Gernoun.

After Nicholas Tregoze's death, these three persons, John Wood, JamesBurnham, and John Gernoun, had a contest with one Hugh Crepinge, for themanors of Tolleshunte-Tregoze and BIuneshall in Essex, they claiming ascoheirs at law of the said Nicholas in right of their respective mothers,his sisters, and he, of Nicholas' grant to him. The contest wasdetermined in favour of the coheirs, and by inquisition taken before theescheator of Essex in Trinity Term 21 Edw. I. they were ordered to paytheir relief, and do homage to the King for the same. And it wasdeclared that Hugh Crepping was never seised of the said lands, becauseEva, wife of Nicholas Tregoze survived her husband. Thus, ended thisbranch of the family.
