Maud de Braose, Lady of Bramber (c. 1155 – 1210) was an Anglo-Norman noblewoman who was active in the Welsh Marches. She incurred the wrath and enmity of King John of England, who had her starved to death in the dungeon of Corfe Castle along with her eldest son. In contemporary records, she was described as beautiful, very wise, doughty, and vigorous. She kept up the war against the Welsh and conquered much from them.
She features in many Welsh myths and legends; and is also known to history as Matilda de Braose, Moll Wallbee and Lady of La Haie.
