Historical Notes

William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny, one of the most powerful barons in the Welsh Marches, had been captured in battle by Llywelyn, Prince of Gwynedd, in 1228. William had to agree to three important principles before Llywelyn would release him. Firstly, William was to pay a ransom of £2,000, "a sum corresponding so precisely to that which Llywelyn had to pay the king that it is reasonable to conjecture that the prince meant the one liability to discharge the other," according to J.E. Lloyd. William de Braose then had to agree never to take up arms against Llywelyn ever again. Lastly, William had to agree to arrange the marriage between his eldest daughter and co-heiress Isabella, with the lordship and castle of Builth as her marriage dowry, to Dafydd, Llywelyn’s heir. With these terms agreed to, William was released in 1229.
