Lord of Bramber

The lord of Bramber was, in the medieval period, the tenant in chief of the honour of Bramber. Bramber is today a small village in Sussex, England, but the medieval honour consisted of a large portion of Sussex, including Bramber castle.

The early medieval lords of Bramber were:

• William de Braose, 4th lord of Bramber (1140/1150 – 1211) infamous for the Christmas Day Massacre of Welsh Princes at Abergavenny Castle in 1175
• Giles de Braose, bishop of Hereford, (d. 1215)
• Reginald de Braose (d. 1228)
• John de Braose (d. 1232)
• William de Braose, 1st Baron Braose (d. 1291)
• William de Braose, 2nd Baron Braose (d. 1326)

• John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray (c. 1328–1368)

After this time the honour of Bramber was held by the Dukes of Norfolk.
