An archaic or dialectal term for a bramble bush, or possibly a variant of 'bramble' referring to wild berry-bearing thorny plants.
Possibly from Middle English 'brember' or 'brimble', related to 'bramble' (Old English 'brægel' or 'bremble'). This word is extremely rare in modern English and appears mostly in historical texts and dialect study.
Medieval texts sometimes used 'brember' to describe the wild thorny places where outlaws and refugees hid—Sherwood Forest would have been full of brembers, making it genuinely difficult terrain to pursue someone through.
