Giles Brugge, 6th Baron Chandos
Giles Brugge, also known as Brydges, 6th Baron Chandos (c. 1462 – 1 December 1511), was an English courtier and soldier. He was born at Coberley, Gloucester, England, the son of Thomas Brugge, the 5th Baron Chandos, and Florence Darrell. Giles fought at the Battle of Blackheath on 22 June 1497 and was knighted for bravery.
He married Isabel Baynham, daughter of Thomas Baynham and Alice Walwyn. Giles served as High Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1499. In August 1502, Elizabeth of York traveled through Gloucestershire; two of her chamber grooms carried jewels near Coberley, and in September she sent a messenger to “Sir Giles Brigges.”
He made his will on 19 November 1511, and it was proved on 18 February 1512. Giles and Isabel had children, though this summary does not list them.
