In "Ancestral Roots" I find that Maud de St. Valerie, wife of William de Braiose (177-6), was killed by King John by being walled up with her young son William in her castle in 1210. Does anyone know the story behind her death?

Essentially, in about 1206-7 John, for reasons unknown, started to persecute William de Briouze and others. Over the next several years things went from bad to worse. In 1208, John demanded hostages from William and Matilda (Maud) apparently said that she wouldn't deliver up her sons to John as he had murdered his nephew Arthur. After this things got really bad and William and his family were forced to flee to Ulster (William was Lord of Limerick). In spring 1210 John prepared an expedition to Ireland and Matilda fled with her sons to Scotland (William was in Wales at this time). Matilda and the children were captured by a Scots lord and handed over to John. Matilda and the eldest son (William IV) were imprisoned, and were never seen again. The common report, recorded in several monastic annals, was that they had been starved to death.

For a fuller version of this I would suggest you read :
King John by W.L. Warren, Eyre Methuen, 1978
The Feudal Kingdom of England 1042-1216 by Frank Barlow, Longman, 1985

(Medical):Went insane during period of imprisonment that ended in her starvation & death.

Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances:
Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: Milo of Gloucester (Milon, Miles Fitz Walter) inherited the title of constable of England and later that of earl of Hereford. He was the grandson of Roger de Pitres, contemporary of William the Conqueror and sheriff of Gloucester, and the son of Walter (Gautier), constable of Henry I. Milo possessed a considerable honor from the inheritance of his father's lands in Gloucestershire and his marriage in 1121 to Sybyl, sole heiress of Bernard de Newmarch. Milo died of a hunting accident on 25 December 1143, leaving four sons: Roger, who died childless in 1155; Walter, Henry, and Mahel, who all died childless before 1166. His inheritance was split among his daughters: Margery; Bertha, who married Philip de Brause; and Lucy. Instigated his son in law Humphrey de Bohun III to rally with Mathilda and defend Trowbridge against King Steven.
