Margaret Braose, Signora d i Trim (1177 – post 1255), figlia di Matilde de Braose, che venne im prigionata e lasciata morire di inedia per ordine di re Giovanni d'Ing hilterra e di Guglielmo de Braose, IV signore di Bramber. Margaret d e Braose nacque nel 1177 secondogenita di Matilde de Braose e di Gugli elmo de Braose, IV signore di Bramber. Suo padre era un potente signor e delle Marche, mentre sua madre era una donna capace e dal forte cara ttere, che fu anche in grado di difendere il proprio castello per tr e settimane quando i gallesi nel 1198 attaccarono uno dei loro manieri . Nel novembre del 1200 Margaret sposò Walter de Lacy, signore di Tr im, figlio di Hugh de Lacy, signore di Meath, il matrimonio venne deci so per ragioni prettamente pratiche, poiché entrambe le famiglie avev ano proprietà nelle Marche callesi e in Irlanda quest'unione poteva f ar sì che venissero meglio protetti i reciproci interessi. Insieme a l marito Margaret ebbe sei figli, ma solo di tre venne registrato il n ome: Pernel de Lacy (1201 - dopo il 25 novembre 1288) Gilbert de Lac y (1202 - 25 dicembre 1230), sposò Isabella Bigod Egidia de Lacy (120 5 - ...) Nel 1208 sua madre, Matilde de Braose, offese il re Giovann i d'Inghilterra con parole inopportune: venne assediata nel suo castel lo in Galles e fu costretta a riparare dalla figlia in Irlanda con i l figlio Walter. Dopo due anni, sul punto di essere nuovamente attacca ta dalle forze del re, Matilde ed il figlio cercarono di scappare in S cozia, ma vennero catturati prima di partire e il re li fece imprigion are e li condannò a morire di fame dopo averli fatti murare nei sotte rranei di un castello. Per aver aiutato la madre, Margaret ed il marit o si videro requisire le proprie terre dalla corona fino al 1215, quan do Walter de Lacy venne anche nominato sceriffo dell'Hereford. Per co mmemorare la madre ed il fratello uccisi Margaret ottenne il permess o di creare un convento nell'Herefordshire: la costruzione venne inizi ata nel 1216, poco prima della morte del re Giovanni. Il convento, ch e prese il nome di Ospedale di San Giovanni, venne dato agli Ospitalie ri, ma in seguito Margaret cercò di sottrarlo al loro controllo ed in gaggiò con l'ordine una lunga disputa che alla fine andò fu portat a dinanzi al papa. Margaret morì in una data imprecisata dopo il 125 5 e venne sepolta nell'Herefordshire.

Marga ret founded a religious house, the Hospital of St. John in her mothe r Maud's memory.[1] Margaret was the wife of Walter de Lacy, Lord of T rim Castle in County Meath, Ireland, and Ludlow Castle in Shropshire . Margaret was born in 1177, the second eldest daughter of William d e Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber, a powerful Marcher Lord, and Maud de St . Valéry. She was reputed to have had about fifteen siblings, althoug h only eight have been recorded. Her paternal grandparents were Willia m de Braose, 3rd Lord Bramber and Bertha of Hereford, and her materna l grandparents were Bernard de St. Valery and Matilda. In November 12 00, Margaret married Walter de Lacy, Lord of Trim Castle in County Mea th, Ireland, and Ludlow Castle in Shropshire. He also owned many estat es and manors in Herefordshire including Ewyas Lacy. He was later appo inted Sheriff of Hereford. It was an advantageous marriage as Walter a nd her father both held castles and lordships in the Welsh Marches a s well as Ireland, and thus the two men looked after each other's inte rests in both places.[2] Together Walter and Margaret had at least si x children who included: Gilbert de Lacy (1202 – 25 December 1230) , married as her first husband Isabel Bigod, by whom he had issue. Pe rnel de Lacy (1201 – after 25 November 1288), married firstly Willia m St. Omer, and secondly Ralph VI de Toeni by whom she had issue. Egi dia de Lacy (born c. 1205), married Richard Mor de Burgh, by whom sh e had issue. '''Hospital of St. John''' In 1208, Margaret's parent s lost favour with their patron, King John of England, who seized al l of the de Braose castles in the Welsh Marches. In order to escape fr om John's vindictive wrath, Margaret's mother, Maud and her eldest bro ther William fled to Ireland where they found refuge with Margaret an d her family at Trim Castle. In 1210, however, King John sent an exped ition to Ireland. Maud and William escaped from Trim but were apprehen ded on the Antrim coast while attempting to sail to Scotland.[3] The y were dispatched to England where they were both left to starve to de ath inside the dungeon of Corfe Castle, Dorset on the orders of King J ohn. Walter de Lacy's estates were forfeited to the Crown as punishmen t for having harboured traitors inside his castle. By 1215, Walter an d Margaret were back in the King's favour, and Walter's confiscated es tates were restored to him. As a further token of John's favour, Walte r was appointed Castellan and Sheriff of Hereford the following year,[ 2] and Margaret obtained permission to found a religious house in memo ry of her mother. On 10 October 1216, eight days before his death, Kin g John conceded three carucates of land in the royal forest of Aconbur y, Herefordshire to Margaret for the construction of the Hospital of S t. John. King John sent the instructions to her husband Walter by lett ers patent.[4] Margaret's subsequent attempts to free her foundation f rom the control of the Hospitallers led her into a lengthy dispute whi ch ultimately involved the Pope. Margaret died on an unknown date som etime after 1255. She was buried at Priory Church in Holme Lacy, Heref ordshire. Her husband had died in 1241, leaving his vast holdings an d lordships to their granddaughters by their son Gilbert, Margery de L acy, and Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville.[5] '''References''' 1.^ ' 'Histoire des Duc de Normandie et des Rois d'Angleterre'' 2.^ a b ''T he History of Ewyas Lacy, An ancient Hundred of South-West Herefordshi re'', theme: de Lacy family history 1000s 1100s 1200s 3.^ Thomas B.

A manuscrip t which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey record s that “Walterus”, son of “Gilbertus de Lacy”, married “Marg eriam filiam Matildis de S. Walerico, quondam uxoris Willielmi de Brew es” [1]. This wording suggests that Margery may have been her mother ´s daughter by an earlier marriage, not the daughter of William de Br iouse, although no other primary source has yet been identified whic h suggests that Maud married twice. Nevertheless, the Annals of Worces ter record that King John exiled “Walterum de Lacy” in 1211 becaus e he would not repudiate “uxorem suam, filiam W. de Breaus” [2]. H er birth date range is estimated based firstly on her oldest son havin g had three children before he died in 1230, and her husband´s birt h estimated to [1172]. If the range is correct, it is likely that Marg ery was one of her parents´s older children. A charter of King Edwar d II dated 26 Jan 1326 confirmed donations to Lanthony Abbey, among wh ich a donation by “Walterus de Lacy filius Hugonis de Lacy” for th e soul of “dominæ Margeriæ uxoris meæ” [3]. King John granted l and "in foresta nostra de Acornebur" to "Margaret de Lascy" to buil d a religious house, for the souls of "W. de Breusa patris sui, Matill id matris sue et W. fratris sui", dated 10 Oct 1216 [4]. "Walterus d e Lacy" confirmed the donation by "Margeria uxor mea" to Acornbury pri ory, Herefordshire by charter dated to [1220/25], witnessed by “domi no Willielmo de Lascy, domino Simone de Clifford, priore de Careswell , Egidio de Clifford…” [5]. An undated charter of Henry III King o f England confirmed a donation by ”Walterus de Lacy” to the Hospit al of Ludlow, Shropshire, for the souls of “Margeriæ uxoris meæ
