Peter Davis' article on the origins of Alice may be found at https://www.academia.edu/14440889/The_St.Owen_Descent_from_Braose I note in the meantime that Douglas Richardson in his 'Royal Ancestry' does not list Alice as a daughter of Sir Peter Braose. I presume that Douglas has reviewed Paul Davis' work and concluded that she was not Sir Peter's daughter? Comments welcome Robert O'Connor
