November 1195. Baron Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath,

In November 1195. Baron Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath, married Margaret de Braose, the daughter of William de Braose of Brecknock, the 4th Lord of Bramber. The de Braose family seat was situated in the Horsham area of West Sussex. Like the de Lacy’s, they had their largest estates and most powerful influence on the Welsh-English border, and in Ireland, they included the city and county of Limerick. Walter de Lacy held the kingdom of Meath and Trim Castle and on the Welsh border the all-powerful Ludlow Castle. Prince John acting for King Richard, viewed the de Lacy de Braose relationship with suspicion who might feel capable of forming a powerful Marcher Lords alliance. Both with extensive holdings in Ireland, besides their firm grip on most of the Welsh England border. The King's suspicions of losing control in these areas were reinforced by the two families now merging some of their interests. Trouble was brewing! Prince John acting for King Richard, viewed the de Lacy de Braose relationship with suspicion who might feel capable of forming a powerful Marcher Lords alliance. eat was situated in the Horsham area of West Sussex.
