Notes - Reginald joined in the rebellions against King John in the barons' war. Eventually King John aquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. Reginald married a second time to Gwladus Ddu "the Dark", daughter of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd. Reginald became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and other March Lordships but was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd and now his father-in-law. Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated from William by King John) in 1217. At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's nephews who were princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and they took Builth (except the castle). Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinenydd (Swansea). By 1221 they were at war again with Llewelyn laying siege to Builth. The seige was relieved by Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John concerning the de Braose lands.
Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by Henry III in 1225.
