Children

The children of Giles and Isabel included:[lower-alpha 2]

  1. Sir John Brydges, 1st Baron Chandos of Sudeley (9 March 1491/2 – 12 April 1557) married Elizabeth Grey
  2. Thomas Brydges of Cornbury and Keinsham Abbey, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, then of Berkshire and Oxfordshire (died 14 November 1559)
  3. William Brugge (mentioned in his will). Inherited his father's lands in Brakenborowe and Horton. He is probably the William Bridges brother of Sir John Bridges who married about 1538 Anne the daughter of William Barker of Chiswick. The legality of this marriage was challenged by Symone Cornethwaite who was living with Lord Russell.
  4. Catherine Brugge (d.1556) who married (1) Leonard Poole (d.1538) of Saperton who was gentleman usher to the king and (2) Sir David Brooke of Horton (d.1559)

Notes
  1. Sir John appears as Sir John Bruges, Knight, Lord Chandos of Sudeley in his will (Public Records Office – prob 11/39). The family name originated as Brugge but the Latin or anglicized version Bruges was used. For some reason members of the family at various points in history took derivatives such as Brydges or Bridges or less commonly Burges. Despite having adopted a variant, the name Bruges randomly appears in several branches of the family. Giles Brugge and his father Thomas also used the variant Bruges. When the name Bruges is found, the ancestry is invariably common.
  2. Florence Brydges is also a daughter of Giles and Isabel born 1493. So is Anne Brugge, Ursula Brydges and Richard Brydges. 8 Children in all.
  1. The spelling of the last name in this instance appears as Brugge more frequently in history, but then changes with his son John to Brydges. see: Lundy 2010, Sir Giles Brugge, 6th Lord Chaundos or Jorge, from Argentina 2012, Thomas Brydges (Sir Knight)
