5.Don Stone asked (17 October 2007): "What is the exact wording of this reference to Robert, brother of John Botetourt? If no surname is given, it occurs to me that it might be a Robert de Saham, (half) brother of John Botetourt, since John is elsewhere specified as a brother of William de Saham." | 5.Don Stone asked (17 October 2007): "What is the exact wording of this reference to Robert, brother of John Botetourt?

| − | 6.On 16 October 2007 Douglas Richardson recorded that Eve Marshal married William de Brewes and is mother of Maud de Brewes. On 21 October Todd Farmerie observes that there are several spellings. Historians in the past have usually chosen to standardize this as Braose, but Mr. Richardson has simply chosen to use an alternative representation of the name. On 21 October Doug Thompson: "There was a long discussion on this newsgroup around March 2002 on the topic of the various spellings of Braose and which might be the preferred usage. You can find it in the archive by searching for "spelling braose". Briwer, Bruere, Brewer is a totally different family. | + | 6.On 16 October 2007 Douglas Richardson recorded that Eve Marshal married William de Brewes and is mother of Maud de Brewes.

In his next message Doug Thompson observes : The spelling of the name is a small detail. It's the false information he gives about the family which worries me more, since his books have an appearance of authority which is unfounded. |
