Eva Marshal (1203 – 1246) was a Cambro-Norman noblewoman and the wife of the powerful Marcher lord William de Braose. She was the daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and the granddaughter of Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster. She held de Braose lands and castles in her own right following the public hanging of her husband by the orders of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales. ==Family and marriage == Lady Eva was born in 1203, in Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales, the fifth daughter〔Cawley, Charles (2010). ''Medieval Lands, Earls of Pembroke 1189-1245( Marshal)''〕 and tenth child of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. Her paternal grandparents were John Marshal and Sibyl of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known to history as Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster, for whom she was probably named. Lady Eva was the youngest of ten children, having had five older brothers and four older sisters. Eva and her sisters were described as being handsome, high-spirited girls.〔Costain, Thomas B.(1959). ''The Magnificent Century''. Garden City, New York: Doubleday and Company Inc. p.103〕 From 1207 to 1212, Eva and her family lived in Ireland. Sometime before 1221, she married Marcher lord William de Braose, who in June 1228 succeeded to the lordship of Abergavenny, and by whom she had four daughters. William was the son of Reginald de Braose and his first wife Grecia Briwere. He was much hated by the Welsh who called him ''Gwilym Ddu'' or ''Black William''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eva Marshal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
