Note

He was the Welsh Marches lord of Bramber and Gower, and was nicknamed Tadody ("fatherless" in Welsh) after his father was starved to death in 1210 on the orders of King John I of England. At first he was hidden in Gower, but finally in 1214 his guardian surrendered John and his younger brother Philip. He was present for the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. He was released from custody in 1218, having spent some time with his uncle Giles, Bishop of Hertford.

Much of his adult life was spent in disputes with relatives over his inheritance. He received Gower as his wife's dowry and in 1226, his uncle, Reginald de Braose, sold him Bramber. He inherited still more when this uncle died a few years later. He had three sons, including his heir, William. John was killed in a fall from his horse.
