[In 1165, the King's household officers were in garrison at Abergavenny, apparently under the command of Walter de Beauchamp.[2] According to Fane's Case, "the lands of Over-went were by Henry II betaken to the custody of Seisill ap Yago, whom Seisill ap Dunwall slew."]
IX.	H[ugh] de Beauchamp, br. of Walter abovenamed,[3] confirmed to the monks of Abergavenny all that "antecessores mei Hamelinus de Balon et Brientius filius comitis et alii domini de Bergeveni eis impenderunt. His testibus Gauterio et Richerio fratribus domini."[4]

The genealogia, besides erroneously making Walter junior to Henry, states that the latter received Over Gwent from his grandfather Walter—who never held it. (ex inform. G.W.Watson.) V.G.

4. Monasticon, vol. iv, p. 616.
5. Briouze-Saint-Gervais (formerly Braiose), arrond. of Argentan, dept. of Orne. His descendants spelt the name Brewes. In some 25 early references to this name, not in charter latin, it appears as Breouse, Breuse, or Brewys (the last of which still exists as a surname), but never as Braose, the form adopted in peerages, for which it seems doubtful if there be any good authority.
