This <g>Milo</g>, first earl of the name, took to wife Sibylla, heiress of <g>Brecknock</g>, and daughter of <g>Bernard</g> and <g>Agnes</g> of New March.[329]--The offspring of this marriage were five sons and three daughters, namely, Roger, Henry, Walter, Matthew, and William, Margery, Bertha, and Lucy. He founded the Abbey or Priory of New Llanthony, near Gloucester, on the 25th of May, 1136, being the first of King Stephen’s reign; and dying on Christmas-eve, 1143, was buried in the chancel of the <g>Abbey</g> which he had founded seven years before. After his demise, he was succeeded in his titles and estates by each of his five sons, one after the other; but all of whom died without legitimate issue. Hereupon his possessions were shared in equal proportions by his three surviving daughters.[330] <g>Lucy</g>, his third daughter, was married to Herbert <g>Fitz-Herbert</g>, and had for her share and dowry the Forest of Dean, and other estates in England.[331] The offspring of this marriage was a son named <g>Peter</g>, who became the father of a long line of descendants. Bertha, second daughter of Count Milo, married William <g>de Brewes</g>, and took for dowry the lordship of Brecknock. The offspring from this marriage were three sons, <g>William</g>, <g>Egidius</g>, and <g>Reginald</g>. William, their eldest son and heir, in the time of King John, having made war upon his enemy Guenhunewyn, subdued him, and slew no less than three thousand Welsh in one day at <g>Elvel</g>. This battle took place on the morrow of <g>St. Lawrence</g> the Martyr, in the year of our Lord 1498. But for this rebellious act he was disinherited by <g>King John</g>; and, without trial, condemned to quit the realm of England. He died in exile; while his unhappy wife and their only son, being thrown into prison by the same heartless and arbitrary power, died shortly after in captivity. <g>Egidius</g>, the second son, became Bishop of Hereford; and <g>Reginald</g> de Brewes, the third son, after the death of King <g>John</g>, and that of his two brothers the afore-named William and Egidius, was pronounced heir to all the possessions which had been forfeited by his brother William, and took possession of the same accordingly. He married a daughter of William <g>de la Bruere</g>, and had by his wife a son whom he named William de Brewes, _quartus_. The latter espoused the lady Eve, daughter of the renowned William, Earl Marshall, so frequently mentioned in these pages.[332] By this union he had issue four daughters--Isabella, Matilda, Eve, and Alionora. Of these, <g>Isabella</g> was married to David, son of <g>Llewellyn</g>, Prince of Wales.
