Notes for Giles de Brewes
Chas. Evans in his long article in the St John Tryptych in the Reports of The Frend of Lydiard Tregoze, No 14, p. 32, says that Giles de Brewes was the grandfather of Elizabeth who m. William Frome. In other words, I may have a generation missing.
Prom a long and well-researched note by Paul Mackenzie on s.g.m on 10 Jan 2007, it seems that Giles had a son John and a daughter Lucy.

From a secondary source dealing with some medieval Dorset ancestry I
have gleaned the following information:
Giles de Briouze and his first wife Beatrix de St Helena have tombs in
Horton church. Their son John settled two thirds of the manor of
Buckingham on a Robert Spigurnell. John also granted a shop in the town
of Buckingham to a tailor and died soon after 1335.
John's daughter Elizabeth brought the manor of Buckingham, rated at 2
knight's fees and forty pounds per annum, to William Frome. He was also
lord of the manor of Woodlands (which Douglas has said earlier in this
thread was Agnes' maritagium, inherited in turn by Giles de Briouze) in
the Hundred of Knowlton in East Dorset. William's son John Frome was an
MP and is said to have married a lady of the Tregoz family and to have
inherited the manor of Buckingham through his mother. Apparently there
is an extensive biography of him in the "History of the House of
Commons" . He died in 1404 leaving two daughters as coheiresses,
including Joan the wife of William Filliol, who was an MP for Dorset in
1414. William Filliol died in 1416 and was buried at St Wolfrida's
church in Horton. Joan remarried in 1417 to Sir Richard Arches, MP, as
his second wife. Arches was killed fighting the French in September
1417 and Joan remarried again in 1420 to Sir William Cheyne, chief
justice of the King's Bench. She died in 1434 and left a will.
Her son by William Filliol, John, lived at Woodlands in Horton and
married Margaret Carent and died in 1467.
John Filliol incidentally is my own forebear.
