According to Ian Sanders, _English Baronies_ pp. 89-90, William de Braose
claimed a share of the barony of Totnes from Henry de Nonant (son & heir of
Roger II) at the end of Richard I's reign, and the barony was divided
between them in 1206. Henry died in the same year, and his lands passed to
Roger II de Vautort of Trematon, Cornwall in whose descent they continued
until early in the 14th century when they were divided between the Corbet
and Pomeroy families.
So there doesn't appear to be any hereditary Zouche connection for the
Nonant share either.
