  • Notes 
    • In 1173, her brothers all having died without issue, she brought the Lordships and castles of Brecknock and Abergavenny, to her husband. Hay Castle had already passed to her from her mother, Sibyl of Neufmarche in 1165, whence it became part of the de Braose holdings.

      She inherited one third of the barony of her father Miles of Gloucester, when all her brothers died and it was divided between her and her two sisters. The part she received included Brecon and Abergavenny in Wales[1]
