Hi all,William de Bruera is a different person than William Briwere/Brewer. William Bruera was brother-in-law to William Briwere having married his sister Iggelesia/Angalisia Briwere.
Sir William de Briwere of Stoke, Sheriff of Devon (b ca.1145, d 1226).
His wife is said to have been Beatrix de Vaux, described as a daughter
of Rainald de Dunstanville, Earl of Cornwall.
When looking for information on William de Briwere on the A2A site I
came across two charters. One of which names William's wife as
Angalisia, and one in which William is witness, together with a Lady
Beatrice la Raneleisa, who could possibly be the same person and
possibly his wife.

La Raneleisa does not appear to be a name, rather a title or
description. Has anyone any idea what it could mean?
