“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, Constable of Bolsover Castle, 1235-6, son and heir, born about 1193.

They had seven daughters, Agnes, Isabel, Maud, Sibyl, Joan, Agatha (wife of Hugh de Mortimer), and Eleanor. He was afflicted from youth with gout, and habitually travelled in a chariot or litter. He accompanied the king to France in 1230. He married (2nd) in or before 1238 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, by his 1st wife, Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see QUINCY 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Robert, Knt. [6th Earl of Derby], and William, Knt., and three daughters, Elizabeth, Joan, and Agnes. He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire. In 1273 Philip de Fifife sued her for the next presentation to the church of Fyfield, Berkshire. In 1274-5 Ellen de Quincy and Alexander Comyn and his wife, Elizabeth, sued their sister, Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, regarding possessions in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire. On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire. Sometime in the period, 1275-9, she acquired the one-third share of the same manor assigned to her sister, Elizabeth Comyn, thus increasing Margaret's share to two-thirds. In 1276 Margaret had letters of protection, she then going to Scotland. In 1277-8 Alice widow of John de Kent arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Chardey, Staffordshire. About 1281 Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, Ellen la Zouche, and Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan, and his wife, Elizabeth, sued Ranulph son of Robert de Neville and his wife, Euphame, regarding 11-1/2 virgates in Syston, Leicestershire. Margaret, Countess of Derby, died shortly before 12 March 1280/1, on which date custody of all lands late of the said Countess Margaret were granted by the king to Richard Fukeram to hold during pleasure, so that he cultivate and sow them and answer for the issues at the Exchequer. In 1282 custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was granted by the king to John de Aese, Vicomte of Tartas to hold during the minority of the heirs. The same month custody of the manor of Keyston, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was likewise granted by the king to John de Byu.elard to hold during the minority of the heirs. In 1281 the king ratified the demise of John de Aysse, Vicomte of Tartas, to Baldwin Wake and Hawise his wife of custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire which he had of the gift of the king by the extent of £40 2s. 8d. yearly to hold during the minority of the heirs of Margery, Countess of Derby.

In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre. He founded Torre Abbey, Devon, 1196, Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon, 1201, and Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire, 1201. In 1200 he had license to fortify a castle in Hampshire either at Ashley or Stockbridge. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Bridgwater, SomerSer. In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication. He also sent two silver chalices to Premontre in France, and founded the Hospital of St. John at Bridgwater, Somerset for thirteen poor people besides religious and strangers. He is also said to have founded the Benedictine nunnery of Polsloe, Devon. In 1218 he was involved in a dispute with Peter, Bishop of Winchester and Walter, Prior and the convent of St. Swithun's regarding customs and demands claimed by William Briwerre from the men of the bishop and prior of Winchester in the forest of William's bailiwick and in the hundred of Somborne. In 1218 he accounted for 40s. for land of Kingeswere for the previous and current years. In 1223 he opposed the confirmation of the Magna Carta and the charter of the forest, declaring that they were "extorted by violence." SIR WILLIAM BRIWERRE died 24 Nov. 1226, and was buried in the habit of a Cistercian monk before the high altar in Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon. At her death, his wife, Beatrice, was buried at Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire.

In 1191-2 he granted a rent of 20 shillings to the Priory of St. Denys, near Southampton. He remained loyal to King Richard I throughout the king's absence, both on crusade and in captivity. He sat as a justice on the king's bench in the reigns of Kings Richard and John. He was present at Worms in 1193, when the terms of King Richard's ransom were agreed. In 1198 he purchase the manor of Bradworthy, Devon from Henry de Pomeroy son of Maud de Vitré.

In 1199 he was granted the manor of Bridgwater, Somerset by Fulk Paynell as part of an exchange, which property became his chief seat. In 1199 Baldwin Giffard and Jordan d'Abernon sued out a writ of mort d'ancestor against him for the half vill of Lynton and the vill of Forston, Devon. Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre. He founded Torre Abbey, Devon, 1196, Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon, 1201, and Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire, 1201. In 1200 he had license to fortify a castle in Hampshire either at Ashley or Stockbridge. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Bridgwater, SomerSer. In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication. He also sent two silver chalices to Premontre in France, and founded the Hospital of St. John at Bridgwater, Somerset for thirteen poor people besides religious and strangers. He is also said to have founded the Benedictine nunnery of Polsloe, Devon. In 1218 he was involved in a dispute with Peter, Bishop of Winchester and Walter, Prior and the convent of St. Swithun's regarding customs and demands claimed by William Briwerre from the men of the bishop and prior of Winchester in the forest of William's bailiwick and in the hundred of Somborne. In 1218 he accounted for 40s. for land of Kingeswere for the previous and current years. In 1223 he opposed the confirmation of the Magna Carta and the charter of the forest, declaring that they were "extorted by violence." SIR WILLIAM BRIWERRE died 24 Nov. 1226, and was buried in the habit of a Cistercian monk before the high altar in Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon. At her death, his wife, Beatrice, was buried at Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire.

Sometime in the period, 1189-99, he was granted a weekly market in 'The Street' parcel of King's Somborne, Hampshire. In the same period, he was granted the manor of Pentewan, Cornwall, together with the advowson of Lamwenep, Cornwall by Godfrey de Lucy, Bishop of Winchester. In 1191-2 he granted a rent of 20 shillings to the Priory of St. Denys, near Southampton. He remained loyal to King Richard I throughout the king's absence, both on crusade and in captivity. He sat as a justice on the king's bench in the reigns of Kings Richard and John. He was present at Worms in 1193, when the terms of King Richard's ransom were agreed. In 1198 he purchase the manor of Bradworthy, Devon from Henry de Pomeroy son of Maud de Vitré.

In 1199 he was granted the manor of Bridgwater, Somerset by Fulk Paynell as part of an exchange, which property became his chief seat. In 1199 Baldwin Giffard and Jordan d'Abernon sued out a writ of mort d'ancestor against him for the half vill of Lynton and the vill of Forston, Devon. Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre. He founded Torre Abbey, Devon, 1196, Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon, 1201, and Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire, 1201. In 1200 he had license to fortify a castle in Hampshire either at Ashley or Stockbridge. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Bridgwater, SomerSer. In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication. He also sent two silver chalices to Premontre in France, and founded the Hospital of St. John at Bridgwater, Somerset for thirteen poor people besides religious and strangers. He is also said to have founded the Benedictine nunnery of Polsloe, Devon. In 1218 he was involved in a dispute with Peter, Bishop of Winchester and Walter, Prior and the convent of St. Swithun's regarding customs and demands claimed by William Briwerre from the men of the bishop and prior of Winchester in the forest of William's bailiwick and in the hundred of Somborne. In 1218 he accounted for 40s. for land of Kingeswere for the previous and current years. In 1223 he opposed the confirmation of the Magna Carta and the charter of the forest, declaring that they were "extorted by violence."

“REYNOLD DE WARRENE, of Attlebridge and Sherborne, Norfolk, Barcombe and Plumpton, Sussex, Harthill, Yorkshire, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Wormegay, Norfolk, Sheriff of Sussex, 1170-76, younger son, of age in 1147. He married ALICE DE WORMEGAY, daughter and heiress of William de Wormegay, of Wormegay, Norfolk. They had one son, William, and three daughters, Gundred, and probably Alice (wife of Peter de Melton alias Constable), and Muriel (nun at Carrow Priory). His older brother, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, employed him in the administration of his Norfolk estates, and, on leaving England on crusade in 1147, left him in charge of the honour. He continued to administer the honour on behalf of William son of King Stephen, husband of his niece, Isabel, and was his principal adviser. Under the terms of the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry III, he was given the option of having custody of the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer, belonging to the honour of Warenne in Normandy; he served as a witness to the king's notification of this treaty. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164. In 1167 he accompanied Maud, the king's daughter, to Saxony. He served as a justice itinerant for various counties in the period, 1168-76. In 1169 he was one of the barons of the Exchequer. In 1170 he was among Becket's enemies who took a principal part in opposing the landing of the archbishop in England. At an unknown date, he gave the church of Plumpton, Sussex to the Priory of Southwark. He became a monk at Lewes Priory, Sussex sometime in the year preceding Michaelmas 1179. His wife, Alice, was living about Michaelmas 1179.

“ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade.
(* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88]. There is no evidence that either Robert or his male descendants used the name "de Beaumont" after the year 1082, when Robert first occurs as Robert, Count of Meulan.)

“REYNOLD DE WARRENE, of Attlebridge and Sherborne, Norfolk, Barcombe and Plumpton, Sussex, Harthill, Yorkshire, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Wormegay, Norfolk, Sheriff of Sussex, 1170-76, younger son, of age in 1147. He married ALICE DE WORMEGAY, daughter and heiress of William de Wormegay, of Wormegay, Norfolk. They had one son, William, and three daughters, Gundred, and probably Alice (wife of Peter de Melton alias Constable), and Muriel (nun at Carrow Priory). His older brother, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, employed him in the administration of his Norfolk estates, and, on leaving England on crusade in 1147, left him in charge of the honour. He continued to administer the honour on behalf of William son of King Stephen, husband of his niece, Isabel, and was his principal adviser. Under the terms of the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry III, he was given the option of having custody of the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer, belonging to the honour of Warenne in Normandy; he served as a witness to the king's notification of this treaty. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164. In 1167 he accompanied Maud, the king's daughter, to Saxony. He served as a justice itinerant for various counties in the period, 1168-76. In 1169 he was one of the barons of the Exchequer. In 1170 he was among Becket's enemies who took a principal part in opposing the landing of the archbishop in England. At an unknown date, he gave the church of Plumpton, Sussex to the Priory of Southwark. He became a monk at Lewes Priory, Sussex sometime in the year preceding Michaelmas 1179. His wife, Alice, was living about Michaelmas 1179.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade.
(* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88]. There is no evidence that either Robert or his male descendants used the name "de Beaumont" after the year 1082, when Robert first occurs as Robert, Count of Meulan.)

Richard was heir in 1408 to his cousin, Gilbert Wace, Knt., by which he inherited the manors of Tythrop (in Kingsey), Buckinghamshire, and Checkenden, Oxfordshire.

“THOMAS CAMOYS, K.G., of Trotton, Barcombe, Broadwater, and Elsted, Sussex, Honydon or Camoys (in Eaton Socon), Bedfordshire, Great Stukeley, Huntingdonshire, Bekerton, Norfolk, Tansor, Northamptonshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born in or before 1351 (of age in 1372). He married (1st) ELIZABETH LOUCHES, daughter and heiress of William Louches, of Great Milton and Chislehampton, Oxfordshire. They had one son, Richard, Knt., and one daughter, Alice. He was heir in 1372 to his uncle, Thomas Camoys, Knt., by which he inherited the manors of Trotton, Barcombe, Broadwater, and Elsted, Sussex, Great Stukeley, Huntingdonshire, Bekerton, Norfolk, Tansor, Northamptonshire, etc. In 1375 he was granted a weekly market at Broadwater, Sussex. The same year his maternal uncle, William Latimer, K.G., 4th Lord Latimer was granted various tenements and houses in Calais by the king formerly held by John Dayre, with remainder in male tail to Thomas Camoys. In 1378 he disputed the advowson of Broadwater, Sussex with Adam de Hartingdon. He was a legatee in the 1381 will of his cousin, William le Latimer, K.G., 4th Lord Latimer, by which he inherited the manor of Wotton, Surrey. He presented to the church of Wotton, Surrey, 1382, 1383, and 1392, and Lasham, Hampshire, 1392. He was one of the liveried personnel of his brother-in-law, Edward Courtenay, Kim, 11th Earl of Devon, in 1384-5. He saw military service in Castile under John of Gaunt. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 August 1383 to 26 Feb. 1420/1, by writs directed Thome Camoys ch'r, whereby he is held to have become Lord Camoys. He was excluded from court in Jan. 1388 by order of the Lords Appellant. In 1389 he made a settlement of the manor of Honydon or Camoy's (in Eaton Socon), Bedfordshire. In 1399 he was granted the bailiwick of the forestership of Alice Holt and Wolmer, Hampshire by the king "as Ralph de Camoys his grandfather had in the time of Edward III." The same year he and his son, Richard, were jointly granted custody of the castle and town of Porchester, Hampshire. In 1400 he manned a ship for service against the Scotch and the French. In 1405-6 he unsuccessfully claimed the manor of Eling, Hampshire against the warden of Winchester College. He married (2nd) after 3 June 1406 ELIZABETH MORTIMIER, widow of Henry "Hotspur" Percy, Knt., styled le Fitz, K.G., K.B., Justice of Chester, North Wales, and Flintshire, Warden of the East Marches, Captain of Berwick on Tweed [see PERCY 12 for issue of that marriage], and daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, Knt., Earl of March and Ulster, by Philippe, daughter and heiress of Lionel of Antwerp, K.G., Duke of Clarence, 5th Earl of Ulster (younger son of King Edward III of England) [see MORTIMER 13 for her ancestry]. She was born at Usk, Monmouthshire 12 (or 13) Feb. 1370/1, and baptized 16 Feb. 1370/1. She was a legatee in the 1380 will of her father. They had one son, Roger, Knt. [Lord Camoys]. In 1406 he signed the deed of King Henry IV regulating the succession to the crown. In 1408 William Mymecan sued Thomas Camoys, Knt, regarding 40s. rents with appurtenances in Wheatley, Oxfordshire. Thomas was heavily involved in the military affairs of both Kings Henry IV and Henry V. He commanded the left wing of the English army at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. He presented to the church of Broadwater, Sussex in 1416. His wife, Elizabeth, died 20 April 1417. SIR THOMAS CAMOYS, Lord Camoys, died 28 March 1421. He and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth, were buried at Trotton, Sussex.

He married (1st) before 3 March 1437/8 ISABEL ___. They had no issue. In 1429 he quitclaimed to Thomas Morstede, Esq. all his rights in the manor of Wotton, Surrey by way of mortgage for 200 mares; three years later he released to the said Thomas all his rights therein and levied a fine. In 1429 Roger claimed that in 1428 Robert Falowefeld used force arms to seize and carry off his goods and chattels at London to the value of £40. In 1433 he ceded his rights in the manors of Stukeley (in Great Stukeley), Huntingdonshire and Barcombe, Broadwater, and Trotton, Sussex to Roger Lewknor and his wife, Eleanor, niece of the said Roger. In 1436 he and the Earl of Huntingdon relieved the garrison at Calais. He was taken prisoner in France in 1443-4, and detained there in great misery. During his captivity, his wife, Isabel, was granted an annuity of £40 for life in October 1443. In 1411 he obtained license from the king to settle his property at Calais upon himself and his heirs male. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 26 Nov. 1444, and was buried in the Grey Friars, London. In 1448 he married (2nd) by papal license dated 1448 ISABEL DE BEAUNOY, of the diocese of Rouen, with whom he had already cohabited. They had no issue. In July 1455 the king gave Richard, Earl of Salisbury the armour, etc. "which were of the Lord Camoys, our rebel .... as forfeited by cause of his rebellion." In 1465 SIR ROGER CAMOYS granted an inn called "Nettelbedd" with two tenements in St. Nicholas, Calais to his nephew, William Hastings, 1s, Lord Hastings. His date of death is unknown.

6569 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt, 3rd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), of Clare, Suffolk, son and heir. He married AMICE OF GLOUCESTER, daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, lord of Glamorgan and Caerleon, seigneur of Torigny in Manche, Normandy, etc., by Hawise, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the town of Sudbury, Suffolk and 6- 1/2 knights fees in Kent. They had four sons, Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], Richard, Roger, and Henry, and three daughters, Maud, Hawise, and [?Joan] (wife of Rhys Gryg, lord of Dynevor or Ystradtywi, Prince of South Wales). Sometime in or before 1172 he gave assent to the grant of his father, Earl Roger de Clare to the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem of the advowson of Tonbridge, Kent. He and his father-in-law, William, Earl of Gloucester, were both suspected of complicity, if not direct involvement, in the rebellion of Earl Hugh le Bigod in 1173-4. Clare subsequently supported the king, when the king's son, Henry, rebelled against his father. In the period, 1185-4214, he gave the advowson of the church of Yalding with the chapel of Brenchley, Kent to the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Tonbridge, Kent. In 1188 he and Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, disputed for the honor of carrying the banner of St. Edmund in battle. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I at Westminster in 1189. In 1191 he was one of the eleven appointed by the Chancellor to determined the questions between himself and Prince John. In 1193 he was enjoined by the Chancellor to accompany him on his return to King Richard, then a prisoner in Germany. In 1194/5 he had acquittance as being with the King in the army in Normandy. At the start of the reign of King Richard I the barony of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire (which had escheated to the crown in 1164) was divided between him and William Marshal, Knt., later Earl of Pembroke. He had a grant from King John of a moiety of the Giffard estates in Normandy and England. In 1198 he excused himself from personal attendance on the king at Hertford. Sometime before Michaelmas 1198, Earl Richard and his wife, Amice, were separated by order of the Pope on grounds of consanguinity, at which date she claimed the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, which had been her marriage portion. They were evidently divorced by 1200, when Amice was styled "formerly the Countess of Clare." In 1202-3 she repeated her claim to the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, and, in 1205-7, she claimed the advowson of St. Gregories, Sudbury, Suffolk, which the Prioress of Eton said had been granted to Eton by Earl William, Amice's father. The issue of the validity of their marriage was presumably resolved, as Amice styled herself in later charters the "Countess of Clare." Regardless, they appeared to have been estranged at the time of Earl Richard's death, as her charters make no mention of her husband, but only their son and heir, Gilbert. In 1201 he paid £100 in order to obtain possession of the manor of Saham, Norfolk by writ of mort d'ancestor against Roger de Tony, but Tony subsequently recovered the manor. Sometime prior to 1206, he granted the church of Yalding, Kent with the chapelry of Brenchley to Tonbridge Priory. In 1211 Amice, Countess of Clare, offered 40 marks for the recovery of certain fees of which she had been disseised by Guy de Chanceaux. In 1214 the canons of Nutley Abbey secured the church of Bottesham, Cambridgeshire against Richard de Clare. He joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. On 9 Nov. 1215 he was one of the commissioners on the part of the Barons to treat of peace with the king. On returning to fealty 5 October 1217, he had restitution of his lands. On the death of her sister, Isabel, Countess of Gloucester (former wife of King John) in 1217, Amice became sole heir to their father, William, Earl of Gloucester. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Hertford, died between 30 October and 28 Nov. 1217. Following his death, Tonbridge Priory petitioned the bishop to grant indulgence "to all who pray for the soul of Sir Richard de Clare, formerly Earl of Hertford, whose body lies in the church of St. Mary Magdalen of Tonbridge, and the souls of all faithful departed deceased and those who have assisted in the building or upkeep of the lights, etc." of the church of St. Mary Magdalen in Tonbridge. His widow, Amice, caused the earl's body to be carried to Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire, where it was buried in the choir of the Abbey. In the period, 1217-23, in her widowhood ["viduitate mea”], she gave to Stoke by Clare Priory a messuage and possessions of the hospital of St. Sepulchre in Sudbury, Suffolk. In the period, 1217-36, Amice, Countess of Clare, in her widowhood ["viduitate mea”] confirmed grants made to Margam Abbey by her grandfather, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and William, Earl of Gloucester. At an unknown date, Countess Amice founded the hospital of St. Sepulchre in Sudbury, Suffolk, as well as one dedicated to Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. At an unknown date, Amice granted Abraham Fitz Ralph of Thaxted three acres at Holgate in her fee at Sudbury, Suffolk at a yearly rent of 12d. Amice, Countess of Clare, allegedly died 1 January 1224/5.*
(* Note: C.P. 6 (1926): 503 (sub Hertford) says Amice de Clare, Countess of Hertford "is stated to have died 1 January 1224/5, before which date she appears to have been recognized as Countess of Gloucester." This statement regarding her being acknowledged Countess of Gloucester appears to be without foundation. In Amice's own charters which have survived and in contemporary records, she is styled solely as Countess of Clare (i.e., Hertford), and never as Countess of Gloucester [see, for instance, Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 6(3) (1830): 1658-1659 (charters of Amice, Countess of Clare, daughter of William Earl of Gloucester); Fry & Fry Abs. of Feet of Fines Rel. Dorset 1 (Dorset Rec. Soc. 5) (1896): 26; Clark Carke et Alia Munimenta de Glamorgancia 2 (1910): 358 (charter of Arnice, Countess of Clare, widow); Harper-Bill Stoke by Clare Cartulary 1 (Suffolk Charters 4) (1982): 41-48 (charters of Amice, Countess of Clare); Mortimer Charters of St. Bartholomerv's Priory (Suffolk Charters 15) (1996): 25-26 (charter of Amice, Countess of Clare)]. Rather, Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 1 (1817): 33 states that Amice's son and heir, Gilbert de Clare, took up the twin earldoms of Gloucester and Hertford in 1217, which occurred during his mother's lifetime. In Nov. 1217, shortly after the death of his aunt, Isabel, Countess of Gloucester, Gilbert confirmed several benefactions as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [see Stevenson Durford Cartulary (Sussex Rec. Soc. 90) (2006): 811. In the same month there was a plea between Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, and William de Cauntelo and his wife, Milicent, widow of Amaury, Count of Evreux. Livery of various lands was also ordered [see CP. 5 (1926): 694 (sub Gloucester)]. Gilbert certainly had possession of the Gloucester inheritance before 1220/1, when the Pipe Rolls sub Norfolk and Suffolk state that "Isti habunt quietancias per brevia ... Comes de Clara de 131 f etc." [see Great Roll of the Pipe Michaelmas 1221, cited in C.P. 6 (1926): 503, footnote c]. Presumably Amice was excluded from the Gloucester inheritance by the terms of her father's agreement with King Henry II in 1176, by which King Henry's son, John (later King John) was acknowledged as heir to William Earl of Gloucester (as future husband of his youngest daughter, Isabel); in return for this grant, the king agreed to give £100 yearly rental to Earl William's older daughters, Mabel and Amice [see Lambert Bletchingley A Parish Hist. 1 (1921): 53-54, 59, footnote 2].)

iii. ROGER DE CLARE, of Middleton, Norfolk, and, in right of his wife, of Norton, Suffolk, Chipstead, Surrey, and Southwick and Wickham, Sussex, younger son. Probably about 1223 he witnessed a confirmation charter of his brother, Earl Gilbert de Clare, to the priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In Feb. 1225 Roger had the grant of land in Ashingdon, Essex formerly belonging to John de Beauchamp, which land he restored in March 1225. In 1226 he received the grant of an annual fee of £25 from the Exchequer, on going to Gascony with Richard, Earl of Cornwall. In 1230 he was granted £15 in lands, and his annual wage accordingly reduced to £10. He married before Feb. 1231 ALICE DE DAMMARTIN, widow of John de Wauton (died shortly before Sept. 1230), of Walton-on-the Hill, Surrey, and daughter of Eudes Dammartin, of Strumpshaw, Norfolk, and Chipstead, Effingham, Mickleham, and Tandridge, Surrey, presumably by ___, sister of Richard de Lucy. They had no issue. His wife, Alice, was heiress in 1225 to her brother, Eudes de Dammartin. In 1232 he was one of those sent to accompany Margaret, Countess of Kent, to London. In March 1233 he had a gift of the king of two stags and ten hinds to be taken from his late brother, Earl Gilbert's park at Bletchingley, Surrey. He served in the Welsh campaign of 1233-4. In 1236 he had the gift of two stags from the king to be taken from his nephew, Earl Richard's park at Hundon, Suffolk. Before Jan. 1241 he left for the Holy Land, presumably in the English expedition led by Richard, Earl of Cornwall. In May 1241 his essoin in an action was adjourned for five weeks he then returning from the Holy Land. ROGER DE CLARE presumably died on the way home shortly before August 1241, when an order was issued to take his lands into the king's hands. In Jan. 1241/2 his widow, Alice, agreed to pay 200 marks to the king at the rate of £25 a year to have seisin of Roger's lands in Middleton, Norfolk, until his unnamed heirs were of age or married. She evidently died about 1255.

Children of [?Joan] de Clare, by Rhys Gryg:
a. MAREDUDD AP RHYS GRYG, of Dryslwyn and Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, younger son by his father's 2nd marriage, born in or before 1222. He married 1234/41 ___, niece of Gilbert Marshal, 7th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal of England, and granddaughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke, by Isabel, daughter of Richard de Clare. They had one son, Rhys, Knt. Sometime before 1241, he was granted the commotes of Ystlwyf and Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire by Gilbert Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was at variance with his nephew, Rhys Fychan ap Rhys Mechyll, during the greater part of their lives. He accompanied Llywelyn ap Gruffudd on his victorious expeditions of 1256, and was rewarded with grants of lands around Llanbadarn and Cantref Buellt. He took a leading part in the Welsh victory of Cymerau in 1257. In 1258 he went over to the English king, who conceded to him all the lands he then held, as well as lands belonging to his nephew, Rhys, in Mabuderith, Mabelneu, etc. In 1258 he concluded an alliance with Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. In 1259 he defected from Llywelyn, who had him imprisoned. Llywelyn demanded that he surrender Newcastle Emlyn and Dinefwr to him that year. Maredudd sided with the Welsh in 1261. In 1265-6 he was again taken into the English king's pay. MAREDUDD AP RHYS died at his castle at Dryslwyn, Carmarthenshire 22 July 1271, and was buried at Whitland Abbey.

Child of Maredudd ap Rhys Gryg, by ___, niece of Gilbert Marshal:
1) RHYS AP MAREDUDD, Knt., of Dryslwyn and Ystlwyf, Carmarthenshire, son and heir. He married by papal dispensation dated 10 Dec. 1283 (they being related in the 3rd and 4th degrees of kindred) ADA DE HASTINGS, daughter of Henry de Hastings, Knt., of Lidgate, Cavendish, Gazeley, Little Udeley, Rede, etc., Suffolk, Nailstone and Wistow, Leicestershire, Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, Aston (in Munslow), Shropshire, Fillongley, Warwickshire, etc., hereditary Steward of the liberty of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey, by Joan, daughter of William de Cantelowe, Knt. [see HASTINGS 9 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included Emlyn Is Cuch (in the hundred of Cilgerran), Pembrokshire, and St. Clear's, Carmarthenshire. They had no issue. In the crisis of 1276-7, he confirmed his loyalty to King Edward I of England. The king granted him Dinefwr Castle, together with the commotes of Maenordeilo, Mallaen, Caeo, and Mabelfyw, all in Cantref Mawr; he was also granted the commotes of Gwynionydd and Mabwynion, Cardiganshire on a limited basis. In 1277, with the defeat of Prince Llywelyn, King Edward I retook possession of Dinefwr Castle and later reclaimed Maenordeilo. In 1282 Rhys was granted a yearly fair to be held at the manor of Dryslwyn. In 1282 Rhys was required to required to give up any formal claims to Dinefwr Castle; however, he was granted the lands of Rhys Wyndod in Caeo and Mallaen and given formal seisin of the commotes of Gwynionydd and Mabwynion, Cardiganshire. In 1285 he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair to be held at the manor of Lampeter, Cardiganshire. In June 1287 he rebelled against King Edward I of England and captured Dinefwr, Carreg Cennen, and Llandovery Castles. The king mustered a force of 22,000 men to meet the danger; by Sept. 1287 his castle of Dryslwyn had been captured. In Nov. 1287, however, Rhys renewed the struggle, moving to Carmarthenshire where he captured Newcastle Emlyn. He held out there against royalist forces until Jan. 1288, when the castle was taken. In 1290 his forfeited lands in Wales were granted to Robert de Tibetot, to hold until Easter next, and for the four years after. In 1290, having raised a new insurrection, Rhys was opposed by Robert de Tibetot, the king's justiciar. Four thousand Welshmen were slain and Rhys was taken prisoner. SIR RHYS AP MAREDUDD was tried at York soon after Michaelmas [29 Sept.] 1291 and there cruelly executed. On 14 June 1293 his widow, Ada, was allowed to retain all the lands which she held in her own right. Ada married (2nd) before 1306 (date of settlement) (as his 2nd wife) ROBERT DE CHAMPAINE (or CHAMPAYNE, CHAMPAGNE, CHAUMPAYNE), of Thurlaston and Wigston, Leicestershire, and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire, son and heir of Nicholas de Champaigne, of Great Doddington, Northamptonshire, by Joan, daughter and heir of Adam son of Philip, of Northampton. He was a minor in 1274, he already being married. By his previous marriage, he was the father of one son, Robert. In 1279-80 Robert de Skeftinton and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Great Doddington, Northamptonshire. In the same period, Isabel widow of Robert le Freman arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against hint and others touching a tenement in Great Doddington, Northamptonshire. In 1280-1 Michael Fitz Durand and Mabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Robert de Charnpaigne and Stephen de Ouensby regarding a tenement in Doddington, Northamptonshire. In 1280-1 Robert de Skefinton and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him regarding a tenement in Thurleston and Castre, Leicestershire. In 1281-2 he quitclaimed a croft of land in Collingtree, Northamptonshire to John de Wotton. In 1282 he remitted and quitclaimed to Devorguille of Gallloway, wife of John de Balliol, his right in the manor of Borgue in Galloway. He presented to the church of Thurlaston, Leicestershire in 1288. In 1296 an assize came to recognize whether Robert de Champaine, John de Champaine, and others disseised Robert Skeffington [step-father of Robert de Champaine] of his free tenements in Wigston, Leicestershire; the jury found in favor of Robert de Champaine. In 1301 he sued Thomas Skeffington regarding 11 messuages, 5 virgates of land, and 2s. of rent in Collingtree, Northamptonshire. His wife, Ada, died sometime before 1308-9. In 1313 Robert settled the manors of Thurleston, Leicestershire and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire on himself for life, with reversion to his son and heir, Robert de Champaine the younger, and his wife, Margaret. He married (3rd) MAUD ROBERT DE CHAMPAINE died shortly before 27 May 1315, when his widow, Maud, acknowledged that she owed a debt of £20 to Richer de Refham, to be levied, in default of payment, of her lands and chattels in Essex. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) before Hilary term 1320 (date of lawsuit) RICHARD TABOURER, of Albrighton. In 1320 Robert son of Robert de Champaine sued Richard and his wife, Maud, and Margaret daughter of the said Maud in a plea of a messuage, five acres of land, one acre of meadow, and 57s. rent in Wigston, Leicestershire, which he claimed as his right. In Hilary term 1322 Richard and his wife, Maud, sued Robert de Champaine and his wife, Margaret, in a plea of a third part of the manor of Thurleston, together with the advowson of the church of the said manor, and £10 rent in Wigston, Leicestershire, which they demanded as dower of the said Maud.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), younger son. He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire. She married (2nd) before Michaelmas 1176 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 2nd Earl of Arundel (or Sussex) [see CLIFTON 4], Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1191-3, son and heir of William d'Aubeney, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), Chief Butler of England, by Alice, Queen Dowager of England, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain [see CLIFTON 3 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1196, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.

“RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford, High Marshal and Chief Butler to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Privy Councillor, 1255, 1258, Warden of the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, and Wyke, 1257, son and heir, born 4 August 1222. His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire. They had three sons, Gilbert, Thomas, Knt., and Boges (or Beges) (clerk) [Treasurer of York], and four daughters, Isabel, Margaret, Rose, and Eglantine. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Guy (or Gaudin), Knt. He served as a captain in the king's army in Guienne in 1241. In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262. In 1276-7 John de Aulton, chaplain, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Countess Maud, and others touching common of pasture in Dauntsey, Wiltshire. In 1284 she founded an Augustinian nunnery for forty nuns at the church of St. John the Evangelist and St. Etheldreda at Legh, Devon. Maud, Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, died 29 December, sometime before 10 March 1288/9.

Children of Richard de Clare, Knt., by Maud de Lacy:
i. GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [see next].
ii. THOMAS DE CLARE, Knt., of Thomond in Connacht, Ireland, married JULIANE FITZ MAURICE [see BADLESMERE 8].
iii. BOGES (or BOEGHES, BEGES) DE CLARE, clerk, papal chaplain, king's clerk, born 21 July 1248. In 1258 his father, Earl Richard, presented him to the church of Rotherfield, Sussex, but the appointment was disallowed Boges occurs as Canon of York from 5 Nov. 1265, Canon of Exeter, 1267, parson of St. Peter in the East, Oxford, Papal chaplain by 1282, Canon of Wells, 1284, King's Clerk by 1285, Treasurer of York, 1285-93, Chancellor of Llandaff, 1287-90, Canon of Chichester, 28 Sept. 1294, Dean of Stafford. In the period, 1275-85 he surrended to Queen Eleanor of Castile his tenement in Sideyard Street, Oxford called "la Oriole." In 1277-8 John de Kent and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Boges de Clare, parson of the church of Dorking, and others regarding a tenement in Dorking, Surrey. In 1280, acting as parson of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, he disputed the right of William le Brune to the assize of bread and ale in Fordingbridge, Hampshire; the case was tried before the justices in eyre, and was decided in favor of William le Brune. In 1290 Boges was fined £1,000 for summoning the Earl of Cornwall to appear before the Archbishop of Canterbury during Parliament. In 1291 he and his successors were granted a market and affair at his manor of Tollerton, Yorkshire. His extensive pluralism is shown in part in a letter from the Archbishop of York to the Archbishop of Canterbury dated 16 Feb. 1290/1 which gives a list of his benefices in the diocese and province York. In 1293 Boges de Clare, Dean of Stafford, and the Chapter, were sued by William Wyger in a writ of darrein presentement; Boges answered that he had the church to his own use by gift from the king. In 1294 he held the churches of Dunmow, Essex, Polstead and Soham, Suffolk, Levetington, Cambridgeshire, and a moiety of the church of Walpole, Norfolk. BOGES DE CLARE died at London 26 October 1294.

He was never out of the king's and the bishop's courts, and he seems to have defied them all alike. He had a little army of bailiffs and receivers, whom often did not pay. The bishops were continually attacking him for non-residence and plurality, but he had his papal dispensations to flourish in their face ... In 1290 a poor wretched officer of the law went into De Clare's house in London to serve a writ. The servants, after making the poor wretch eat the document, seals and all, and imprisoned him. In this case De Clare was obliged to answer in person, but he threw the blame upon his servants, who took care to be out of the way when searched for. ... Here we have a man, receiving an income his ecclesiastical preferments of not less than 50,000/. a year in our money, neglecting every duty, and yet strong enough in his influence with the Court and at Rome to defy everyone who strove to call him to account ...

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford, High Marshal and Chief Butler to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Privy Councillor, 1255, 1258, Warden of the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, and Wyke, 1257, son and heir, born 4 August 1222. His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire. They had three sons, Gilbert, Thomas, Knt., and Boges (or Beges) (clerk) [Treasurer of York], and four daughters, Isabel, Margaret, Rose, and Eglantine. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Guy (or Gaudin), Knt. He served as a captain in the king's army in Guienne in 1241. In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262. In 1276-7 John de Aulton, chaplain, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Countess Maud, and others touching common of pasture in Dauntsey, Wiltshire. In 1284 she founded an Augustinian nunnery for forty nuns at the church of St. John the Evangelist and St. Etheldreda at Legh, Devon. Maud, Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, died 29 December, sometime before 10 March 1288/9.

Children of Richard de Clare, Knt., by Maud de Lacy:
i. GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [see next].
ii. THOMAS DE CLARE, Knt., of Thomond in Connacht, Ireland, married JULIANE FITZ MAURICE [see BADLESMERE 8].
iii. BOGES (or BOEGHES, BEGES) DE CLARE, clerk, papal chaplain, king's clerk, born 21 July 1248. In 1258 his father, Earl Richard, presented him to the church of Rotherfield, Sussex, but the appointment was disallowed Boges occurs as Canon of York from 5 Nov. 1265, Canon of Exeter, 1267, parson of St. Peter in the East, Oxford, Papal chaplain by 1282, Canon of Wells, 1284, King's Clerk by 1285, Treasurer of York, 1285-93, Chancellor of Llandaff, 1287-90, Canon of Chichester, 28 Sept. 1294, Dean of Stafford. In the period, 1275-85 he surrended to Queen Eleanor of Castile his tenement in Sideyard Street, Oxford called "la Oriole." In 1277-8 John de Kent and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Boges de Clare, parson of the church of Dorking, and others regarding a tenement in Dorking, Surrey. In 1280, acting as parson of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, he disputed the right of William le Brune to the assize of bread and ale in Fordingbridge, Hampshire; the case was tried before the justices in eyre, and was decided in favor of William le Brune. In 1290 Boges was fined £1,000 for summoning the Earl of Cornwall to appear before the Archbishop of Canterbury during Parliament. In 1291 he and his successors were granted a market and affair at his manor of Tollerton, Yorkshire. His extensive pluralism is shown in part in a letter from the Archbishop of York to the Archbishop of Canterbury dated 16 Feb. 1290/1 which gives a list of his benefices in the diocese and province York. In 1293 Boges de Clare, Dean of Stafford, and the Chapter, were sued by William Wyger in a writ of darrein presentement; Boges answered that he had the church to his own use by gift from the king. In 1294 he held the churches of Dunmow, Essex, Polstead and Soham, Suffolk, Levetington, Cambridgeshire, and a moiety of the church of Walpole, Norfolk. BOGES DE CLARE died at London 26 October 1294.

He was never out of the king's and the bishop's courts, and he seems to have defied them all alike. He had a little army of bailiffs and receivers, whom often did not pay. The bishops were continually attacking him for non-residence and plurality, but he had his papal dispensations to flourish in their face ... In 1290 a poor wretched officer of the law went into De Clare's house in London to serve a writ. The servants, after making the poor wretch eat the document, seals and all, and imprisoned him. In this case De Clare was obliged to answer in person, but he threw the blame upon his servants, who took care to be out of the way when searched for. ...

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., 4th Earl of Hertford, Lord of Harfleur and Mostrevilliers in Normandy, 1202, son and heir, born about 1180. In 1211 he held 6-1/2 knights fees in Kent of his mother's maritagium. He and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was as one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he and his father were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215, but at this time, he was a party to the negotiations for peace. He had a safe-conduct from the king 9 Nov. 1215, which was repeated 27 March 1216, after the fall of Colchester. He fought on the side of Louis of France at the Battle of Lincoln 19 May 1217, and was taken prisoner by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was afterwards released, and his lands restored. He married 9 October 1217 ISABEL MARSHAL, 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had three sons, Richard, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], William, Knt., and Gilbert, and three daughters, Amice, Agnes, and Isabel. He was recognized as Earl of Gloucester (in his mother's lifetime) in November 1217. In 1217 he gave the manor of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire to Milicent de Cantelowe for life in settlement of her other claims in dower on the estates of her former husband, Amaury, Count of Evreux (Gilbert's 1st cousin). In 1218 Hugh de Vivonne was ordered to give up the Forest of Keynsham to him. In July 1222 he was forbidden to attack the castle of Dinas Powys in Glamorgan. From this time forward he frequently attests royal grants. In 1223 he joined his brother-in-law, the Earl Marshal, in an expedition into Wales. Probably about 1223 he confirmed the grant of Hamo de Blean (alias Crevequer) to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In 1224 the king ordered his bailiffs of Bristol to cause Earl Gilbert to have five tuns of the 40 tuns of wine that he lately took to the king's use in the vill of Bristol at the same market price. He was present in 1225 at the confirmation of Magna Carta by King Henry III. In 1227 he sued William de Similly for the manor of Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, which he claimed as his right. In 1227 he served as witness to the king's charter permitting the removal of the cathedral from Old to New Salisbury and confirming the same rights to the new city as Winchester enjoyed. The same year he supported Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king, with regard to the forest laws and the misgovernment of Hubert de Burgh. The king soon gave way to the barons' threats, and meeting them at Northampton in August, promised them satisfaction of their demands. In Sept. 1227 he was one of the nobles accredited to meet the princes of the Empire at Antwerp. He led an army against the Welsh in 1228 and captured Morgan Gam, who was released the following year. In Feb. 1228 he had a gift of 40 rafters in the wood of Auvour to house himself at Cranborne, Dorset. In 1228 he again led an army against the Welsh and discovered iron, lead, and silver mines in Wales. In Feb. 1230 he and William Earl Marshal were ordered to yield up to the Archdeacon of Llandaff all the possessions of the bishopric which they had taken on the bishop's death. Early in 1230 he crossed over into Brittany with the king, where he served as a commander in the royal army. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Penros in that duchy 25 October 1230, and was buried 11 November 1230 before the high altar at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His funeral was conducted with great state. He left two wills, one dated 30 April 1230, the other 23 October 1230, proved before Michaelmas, 1233. By the terms of his will, he left a gilt silver cross to Tewkesbury Abbey, as well as the wood of Mythe by Severn side during the minority of his son. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) 30 March 1231 (as his 1st wife) RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou [see CORNWALL 6], Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 1240-1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253-4, younger son of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter of Ademar, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, John, Henry, Knt., and Nicholas, and one daughter, Isabel. He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. Richard married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 SANCHE (or SANCHIA) OF PROVENCE, daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) I, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons, one unnamed and Edmund, Knt. [Earl of Cornwall]. In December 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. He was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon in 1244. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to appose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the mint between 1247 and 1258, an office from which he derived considerable profit. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche, died at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walram of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt. He purchased the honour of Trematon, Cornwall in 1270. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Franciscan church at Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar a the Friars Minors, Oxford.

The right arm, in mail, is extended backwards, and holds upright a long straight sword. Above the upper edge of the surcoat is seen the throat, closely fitted with mail, and on the head a flat-topped helmet. The left arm is covered with a heater shield, with conceals the breast and bears a lion rampant, with probably a border. The saddle is raised below and behind, and the two girths cross salute fashion under the horse's belly. Over the knight's right shoulder is a narrow embossed belt, for sword or dagger. The horse is cut with great freedom, and does not appear to be in armour. The legend is: `SIGIL[LUM RICARDI COMITIS CORNU]BIE.’ Upon the obverse is large, bold heater shield, about two inches high, bearing a lion rampant within a plain border, charged with fourteen roundels. Round and behind the shield is scroll work of an early English character. The legend, in place of the usual cross, commences with a crescent SIG[ILLVM] RICARDI COMITIS [CORN]UBIE.' It is remarkable that Richard did not bear the arms of England, but those of Poictou.

“RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford, High Marshal and Chief Butler to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Privy Councillor, 1255, 1258, Warden of the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, and Wyke, 1257, son and heir, born 4 August 1222. His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire. They had three sons, Gilbert, Thomas, Knt., and Boges (or Beges) (clerk) [Treasurer of York], and four daughters, Isabel, Margaret, Rose, and Eglantine. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Guy (or Gaudin), Knt. He served as a captain in the king's army in Guienne in 1241. In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262. In 1276-7 John de Aulton, chaplain, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Countess Maud, and others touching common of pasture in Dauntsey, Wiltshire. In 1284 she founded an Augustinian nunnery for forty nuns at the church of St. John the Evangelist and St. Etheldreda at Legh, Devon. Maud, Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, died 29 December, sometime before 10 March 1288/9.

Children of Richard de Clare, Knt., by Maud de Lacy:
i. GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [see next].
ii. THOMAS DE CLARE, Knt., of Thomond in Connacht, Ireland, married JULIANE FITZ MAURICE [see BADLESMERE 8].
iii. BOGES (or BOEGHES, BEGES) DE CLARE, clerk, papal chaplain, king's clerk, born 21 July 1248. In 1258 his father, Earl Richard, presented him to the church of Rotherfield, Sussex, but the appointment was disallowed Boges occurs as Canon of York from 5 Nov. 1265, Canon of Exeter, 1267, parson of St. Peter in the East, Oxford, Papal chaplain by 1282, Canon of Wells, 1284, King's Clerk by 1285, Treasurer of York, 1285-93, Chancellor of Llandaff, 1287-90, Canon of Chichester, 28 Sept. 1294, Dean of Stafford. In the period, 1275-85 he surrended to Queen Eleanor of Castile his tenement in Sideyard Street, Oxford called "la Oriole." In 1277-8 John de Kent and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Boges de Clare, parson of the church of Dorking, and others regarding a tenement in Dorking, Surrey. In 1280, acting as parson of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, he disputed the right of William le Brune to the assize of bread and ale in Fordingbridge, Hampshire; the case was tried before the justices in eyre, and was decided in favor of William le Brune. In 1290 Boges was fined £1,000 for summoning the Earl of Cornwall to appear before the Archbishop of Canterbury during Parliament. In 1291 he and his successors were granted a market and affair at his manor of Tollerton, Yorkshire. His extensive pluralism is shown in part in a letter from the Archbishop of York to the Archbishop of Canterbury dated 16 Feb. 1290/1 which gives a list of his benefices in the diocese and province York. In 1293 Boges de Clare, Dean of Stafford, and the Chapter, were sued by William Wyger in a writ of darrein presentement; Boges answered that he had the church to his own use by gift from the king. In 1294 he held the churches of Dunmow, Essex, Polstead and Soham, Suffolk, Levetington, Cambridgeshire, and a moiety of the church of Walpole, Norfolk. BOGES DE CLARE died at London 26 October 1294.

He was never out of the king's and the bishop's courts, and he seems to have defied them all alike. He had a little army of bailiffs and receivers, whom often did not pay. The bishops were continually attacking him for non-residence and plurality, but he had his papal dispensations to flourish in their face ... In 1290 a poor wretched officer of the law went into De Clare's house in London to serve a writ. The servants, after making the poor wretch eat the document, seals and all, and imprisoned him. In this case De Clare was obliged to answer in person, but he threw the blame upon his servants, who took care to be out of the way when searched for. ... Here we have a man, receiving an income his ecclesiastical preferments of not less than 50,000/. a year in our money, neglecting every duty, and yet strong enough in his influence with the Court and at Rome to defy everyone who strove to call him to account ...

iii. MARGARET (or MARGERY) OF SCOTLAND, married at York, Yorkshire in June 1221 (as his 3rd wife) HUBERT DE BURGH, Knt. [see BARDOLF 8], Earl of Kent, of Henlow, Bedfordshire, Aspley Guise, Buckinghamshire, Soham, Cambridgeshire, Corfe Mullen and Winford, Dorset, Kingsdown, Newington, and Tunstall, Kent, Beeston, Burgh, Cawston, Newton, Rougham, Norfolk, Sotherton, Suffolk, Banstead and Sheen, Surrey, Compton, Warwickshire, etc., Chamberlain to John, Count of Mortain [future King John], 1198-9, King's Chamberlain, 1199-1205, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1200-4,1215, Sheriff of Somersetshire and Dorsetshire, 1200-4, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1201, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1201, 1215-24, Warden of the Marches of Wales, 1201, Sheriff of Cornwall, 1202, Sheriff of Berkshire, 1202-4, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1208-13, Seneschal of Poitou, 1213-15, Justiciar of England, 1215-32, Sheriff of Kent, 1215-17, Sheriff of Surrey, 1215-16, Warden of the Exchange and Mint, 1215, Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1217-27, Sheriff of Westmorland, 1228-34, Justiciar of Ireland, 1232, Constable of the Tower of London, 1232, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Wormegay, North Runcton, and Stow Bardolf, Norfolk, and Finborough, Suffolk, Fletching and Portslade, Sussex, son and heir of [?Walter] de Burgh, by his wife, Alice [see BURGH 1 for his parentage]. They had one daughter, Margaret. He became Chamberlain to John, Count of Mortain, in or before 1198. At John's accession to the throne, he became the most important official in the country, and received many grants of lands, wardships and offices, including Shrievaltys successively of eleven counties, the manor of Cawston, Norfolk, and the honour of Camel, Somerset formerly belonging to William de Roumare. Sometime before 1202, he gave the church of East Camel, Somerset to Cleeve Abbey, Somerset. He held the castle of Chinon for King John, but after a year's siege, he was obliged to evacuate it. In the fight to break through the French lines was severely wounded and taken prisoner 23 June 1205, after which he was in disgrace and did not appear in public affairs for several years. He temporarily lost the honour of Camel, Somerset between 1205 and 1207, but recovered possession and held it until 1228, when he exchanged it for other royal lands. At the meeting at Runnymede he sided with King John, and was named in Magna Carta, and was one of those appointed to uphold the twenty-five Barons who were made custodians thereof. In August 1217 he defeated a French fleet off Dover at the Battle of South Foreland. In Sept. 1217 he was a party to the treaty of peace made by Prince Louis at Lambeth before he left England. In 1221 he demanded that the royal castles, which had been seized by the Barons, and some of which were in the hands of foreigners likes Faukes de Breaute, should be restored to the Crown. In 1221 he gave the advowson of the church of Portslade, Sussex to Bradsole Abbey. About 1221 he founded a house of Dominican friars near Ludgate in London, and gave them land in Holborn for their house. In 1222 he suppressed a riot in London with great severity. In 1222 Matthew nephew of Geoffrey Wake fined 200 marks with him for a quitclaim to Ebbesbome Wake, Wiltshire. In 1223 the Earl of Chester with Faukes de Breauté and others combined against him, but he overcame them; in August 1224 he captured Breauté's castle of Bedford and secured his banishment. He was granted a market at Burgh next Aylsham, Norfolk in 1226. He was created Earl of Kent 19 Feb. 1226/7, entailed on the issue of Hubert by his 3rd wife, Margaret. In 1227 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted an unspecified number of fairs at three manors, including Nayland, Suffolk. In March 1227 the king granted him the manor of Upper Arleigh, Staffordshire, which formerly belonged to his brother, Thomas de Burgh, Knt. In 1228 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted unspecified markets and fairs at four manors, including Hadleigh, Essex and Haughley and Nayland, Suffolk. In 1229 Roger de Dauntsey, Knt., and his wife, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, sold him one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, including the capital messuage. In October 1229 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted the manor, castle, and honour of Knaresborough, Yorkshire; he also had a grant of the honour of Eye, Suffolk. He accompanied the king on his expedition to Poitou and Gascony in 1230, for the failure of which he was blamed. In 1231 he was granted a weekly market and a yearly fair at Long Compton, Warwickshire. In 1231 Anketill Mallore was summoned by Earl Hubert to state by what warrant he held the manor of [Upper] Arleigh, Staffordshire, which was the demesne of the Lord the King, and which the said Earl had by gift of the King. The King acknowledged that the Earl was in seisin, and had been disseised by him. Thus, it was considered that the Earl should recover his seisin, and that Anketill was in mercy. In early 1231 or early 1232 the pope set up an inquiry into Hubert's marriage on the grounds that Margaret his 3rd wife was related to his 2nd wife. Hubert's anger was widely known and provoked a papal letter of rebuke 9 June 1232. King Henry chafed at the restraints which his powerful minister imposed on him, and found an excuse to break him, depriving him of the Justiciarship. He was ordered to surrender the castles of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, Windsor, Odiham, Hertford, Colchester, the Tower, and all his other castles. He was pardoned by the king in 1234; his lands were restored to him and he recovered his earldom. However, for the rest of his life he had little part in public affairs. In 1238 Howard de Bikelegh brought a suit against him for seizure of the fair at Holwell, Somerset. SIR HUBERT DE BURGH, Earl of Kent, died testate at Banstead, Surrey shortly before 5 May 1243. His widow, Margaret, Countess of Kent, died 15 Nov. 1259. They were buried in the church of the Black Friars, London. Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 36-37.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (also known as RICHARD DE CLARE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, son and heir. He married ALICE (or ALICIA) OF CHESTER, daughter of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester, by his wife, Lucy. They had three sons, Gilbert [Earl of Hertford], Roger [Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], and Richard, and two daughters, Alice and Rohese. In 1124 he removed the Priory of Clare, Suffolk from its original site to Stoke by Clare, a few miles away, and rebuilt the church and monastic buildings for the monks. In 1130 he had pardons from exactions in four counties; the king also assisted him in the matter of a large debt to the Jewish moneylenders of London. He rebuilt the clas church of Llanbadarn Fawr, which his father had given to Gloucester Abbey, as a priory of the house. He founded a priory at Tonbridge, Kent. He was also active as a patron of Cardigan Priory. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, lord of Clare, was surprised and slain by the Welsh, near Abergavenny 15 April 1136, and was buried at the Chapter House at Gloucester. Sometime before 1143 his widow, Alice, was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. About 1148 she gave the mill of Taddewell to the monks of St. Peter, Gloucester for the soul of her late husband, Richard Fitz Gilbert; this gift was confirmed by King Henry II in 1153-4.

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales.

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expedition to Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral (Gir. Cambr. It. Camb. in Op. (Rolls ed.), iii. 133).

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales.

Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expedition to Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral (Gir. Cambr. It. Camb. in Op. (Rolls ed.), iii. 133). In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. He died in 1172, and was buried before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral. Wynn Hist. of the Gnydir Fam. (1827): 20.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (also known as RICHARD DE CLARE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, son and heir. He married ALICE (or ALICIA) OF CHESTER, daughter of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester, by his wife, Lucy. They had three sons, Gilbert [Earl of Hertford], Roger [Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], and Richard, and two daughters, Alice and Rohese. In 1124 he removed the Priory of Clare, Suffolk from its original site to Stoke by Clare, a few miles away, and rebuilt the church and monastic buildings for the monks. In 1130 he had pardons from exactions in four counties; the king also assisted him in the matter of a large debt to the Jewish moneylenders of London. He rebuilt the clas church of Llanbadarn Fawr, which his father had given to Gloucester Abbey, as a priory of the house. He founded a priory at Tonbridge, Kent. He was also active as a patron of Cardigan Priory. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, lord of Clare, was surprised and slain by the Welsh, near Abergavenny 15 April 1136, and was buried at the Chapter House at Gloucester. Sometime before 1143 his widow, Alice, was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. About 1148 she gave the mill of Taddewell to the monks of St. Peter, Gloucester for the soul of her late husband, Richard Fitz Gilbert; this gift was confirmed by King Henry II in 1153-4.

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF GLOUCESTER, married before 1135 RANULPH DE GERNONS, Knt., 5th Earl of Chester, lord of Eastham and Macclesfield, Cheshire, Coventry, Warwickshire, Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire, and Greetham, Lincolnshire, etc., hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, son and heir of Ranulph (nicknamed le Meschin), 4th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Bayeux, by Lucy, widow of Ives de Taillebois and Roger Fitz Gerold, and heiress (and possibly daughter) of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln. He was probably born about 1105. She had the manor of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire by the gift of her father. They had two sons, Hugh [6th Earl of Chester] and Richard. By an unknown mistress, he apparently had an illegitimate son, Robert Fitz Count. He was present at royal councils in Northampton, 1131, Westminster, 1132, and Windsor, 1132. He accepted King Stephen's accession in 1135, and attended the royal council at Westminster in 1136. In 1136 he witnessed the Oxford charter of liberties. In 1136 or 1137 he led a disastrous expedition into Wales from which he was one of the few to escape alive. In 1140 he attempted to capture Henry of Scotland and his wife on their return from King Stephen's court. The same year he surprised the city of Lincoln and manned it for the empress. The king's response was to visit Lincolnshire, where he peaceably renewed a pact with Ranulph. King Stephen left for London before Christmas, but made a surprise return during the festival to lay siege to Lincoln Castle. Ranulph managed to escape, obtained the armed assistance of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and other Angevin adherents, raised soldiers from Cheshire and Wales, and marched back to Lincoln, where his wife and half-brother were continuing to resist the siege. At the subsequent Battle of Lincoln 2 February 1141 the king was captured, and Ranulph followed up his victory with sack and slaughter in the city itself. At the Siege of Winchester in September 1141 he initially joined the queen's army, only to encounter such suspicion and hostility that he switched to the empress's camp. In 1144 he was besieged in Lincoln by the king. He met King Stephen at Stamford probably early in 1146, where he apparently renewed his fealty to the king. The king granted him royal manors in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, the towns of Newcastle under Lyme, and Derby, land in Grimsby, and the soke of Grantham, plus the honors of William d'Aubeny Brito (Belvoir), Roger de Bully (Tickhill), and Roger de Poitou (Lancaster, although that which lay north of the Ribble was under Scottish control). He was also confirmed in his tenure of Lincoln Castle. He duly helped Stephen to capture Bedford town and besiege Wallingford Castle in 1146, but the king and the royalist magnates remained deeply suspicious of his failure to restore revenues from royal lands and castles he had seized. He was again with the king at Northampton 29 August 1146, but his refusal to give hostages or restore royal property led to his sudden arrest and imprisonment He was released after agreeing to Stephen's terms and taking an oath not to resist the king in future, whereupon he set about trying to recover by force what he had been obliged to surrender. Subsequent campaigns led to armed confrontations with Stephen's son Eustache, and on at least two occasions, near Coventry (probably early in 1147) and Lincoln (1149), with the king himself. He did homage to David I, King of Scots at Carlisle in 1149, who granted him the honour of Lancaster (including lands north of the Ribble) in exchange for a renunciation of claims to Carlisle. In 1150, in alliance with Madog ap Maredudd, king of Powys, he prepared an attack on Owain Gwynedd, but the enterprise collapsed after defeat at Coleshill. Some time between 1149 and 1153, he made a formal agreement with Robert, Earl of Leicester, whereby each pledged to bring only twenty knights if obliged by his liege lord to fight against the other. Both earls joined the Angevin campaign in 1153. At Devizes in 1153, Henry, Duke of Normandy gave him lavish grants in the north midlands, including the estates of several royalist barons which the earl was effectively being invited to seize; Ranulph was also restored in his 'Norman inheritance,' which has been interpreted to include Breuil, the castle of Vire, and other holdings once associated with his family, together with comital status and extensive lordship in the Avranchin. During his lifetime, Ranulph founded four religious houses, including an abbey for Savignac monks at Basingwerk, Flintshire, in 1131, priories for Benedictine monks and nuns at Minting, Lincolnshire, and Chester respectively (both at uncertain dates), and, on his deathbed, a priory for Augustinian canons at Trentham, Staffordshire. RANULPH DE GERNONS, Earl of Chester, died at Gresley, Derbyshire 17 Dec. 1153, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1153-59, his widow, Maud, with consent of her son, Hugh, gave the canons of Calke, then part of Ticknall, the church of St. Wiestan-in-Repton, Derbyshire. Probably in 1158 Queen Eleanor, wife of Henry II, gave confirmation to his widow, Maud, of her wapentake and hundred of Repton, Derbyshire. In 1172 she founded Repton Priory, Derbyshire. Maud, Countess of Chester, died 29 July 1189.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (also known as RICHARD DE CLARE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, son and heir. He married ALICE (or ALICIA) OF CHESTER, daughter of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester, by his wife, Lucy. They had three sons, Gilbert [Earl of Hertford], Roger [Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], and Richard, and two daughters, Alice and Rohese. In 1124 he removed the Priory of Clare, Suffolk from its original site to Stoke by Clare, a few miles away, and rebuilt the church and monastic buildings for the monks. In 1130 he had pardons from exactions in four counties; the king also assisted him in the matter of a large debt to the Jewish moneylenders of London. He rebuilt the clas church of Llanbadarn Fawr, which his father had given to Gloucester Abbey, as a priory of the house. He founded a priory at Tonbridge, Kent. He was also active as a patron of Cardigan Priory. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, lord of Clare, was surprised and slain by the Welsh, near Abergavenny 15 April 1136, and was buried at the Chapter House at Gloucester. Sometime before 1143 his widow, Alice, was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. About 1148 she gave the mill of Taddewell to the monks of St. Peter, Gloucester for the soul of her late husband, Richard Fitz Gilbert; this gift was confirmed by King Henry II in 1153-4.

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expedition to Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral (Gir. Cambr. It. Camb. in Op. (Rolls ed.), iii. 133). In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. He died in 1172, and was buried before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral. Wynn Hist. of the Gnydir Fam. (1827): 20.

Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 256-257 ("In 1151, says the Welsh Chronicle, `Cadwalader, the brother of Prince Owen, escaped out of his Nephew Howes prison and subdued part of the Ile of Mein, or Anglesey, to himselfe; but his brother Owen sent an armie against him, and chased him thence, who fled to England for succour to his wife's friends, for she was the daughter of Gilbert Earl of Clare.' Between 1151 and 1152 Ranulf, Earl of Chester ... confirmed the Monks of Shrewsbury in the possession of all their lands between the Ribble and the Mersey. 'The Earl's Charter is dated at Chester, and attested as follows. - Testibus, Comite de Clara, et Cadwaladro ... The Earl of Clare here alluded to, was Gilbert. He was Nephew of Earl Ranulph himself, and, in the year 1146, had been given up to Stephen as a hostage for his Uncle's good faith and allegiance. His flight from Stephen's Court is recorded by the Chroniclers. It is evident that he took refuge with his Uncle. He died, in 1151 without issue, and was succeeded by his brother Roger. This fact, as well as a comparison of dates and ages, will show that Cadwalader's wife, Alice, was a Sister of Earl Gilbert and a daughter of Earl Richard de Clare, and, finally, a niece of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. For a time he [Cadwallader] remained in alliance with the English, as when, in 1159, he assisted the Earls of Clare and of Bristol to relieve Carmarthen, then besieged by Prince Rese of South Wales. He was also a munificent Benefactor to Haughmond Abbey. In 1165 he is found leagued with Owen Gwyneth against the English, and probably retained that adverse position till his death in 1172.").

a. ALICE DE GANT, daughter and heiress. She married SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon [see BEAUCHAMP 4.i], son and heir of Simon de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon, by Isabel (or Elizabeth), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see BEAUCHAMP 4 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1138. He was a minor at his father's death in 1153, and remained in ward to the king for about five years. They had one son, Simon, who died young. Sometime before 1163 he confirmed his father's grant in Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars. He and his wife, Alice, issued two confirmation charters to Stixwould Priory c.1155-60. In 1174 he was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon. As Simon, Earl of Huntingdon, he granted to the monks of Wardon, Bedfordshire a certain road as they had it on the day he came to the Siege of Huntingdon. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon, died June 1184. He was buried in St. Andrew's Priory, Northampton, to which he was a benefactor. His widow, Alice, died in 1185. She gave the mills of Folkingham, Lincolnshire to Sempinghan Priory, Lincolnshire in order that she might be buried there, but it appears she was instead buried at Bridlington Priory, Yorkshire.

He fought for King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, where he was taken prisoner. In 1147 he took part in the second Crusade. In the period, 1150-58, his wife, Alice, witnessed a charter of Avice de Rumilly to Drax Priory. In 1153 he executed a charter at York in favor of the Cathedral. His wife, Alice, was living 9 June 1154. In 1173 he supported Henry the Young King against his father, King Henry II. He surrendered his castle at Thirsk, Yorkshire 31 July 1174, and his made his peace with the king. Sometime during the reign of King Henry II, he granted the church of Empingham, Rutland, together with the lands and tithes, to Lincoln Cathedral. In 1186 he served in the Third Crusade. At an unknown date, he confirmed the earlier grant of his wife, Alice, of a carucate of land in Ingolvesmeles to the monks of St. John of Pontefract. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Hitdrt by the Saracens 4 July 1187, and the following year he was ransomed by the Templars.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (also known as RICHARD DE CLARE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, son and heir. He married ALICE (or ALICIA) OF CHESTER, daughter of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester, by his wife, Lucy. They had three sons, Gilbert [Earl of Hertford], Roger [Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], and Richard, and two daughters, Alice and Rohese. In 1124 he removed the Priory of Clare, Suffolk from its original site to Stoke by Clare, a few miles away, and rebuilt the church and monastic buildings for the monks. In 1130 he had pardons from exactions in four counties; the king also assisted him in the matter of a large debt to the Jewish moneylenders of London. He rebuilt the clas church of Llanbadarn Fawr, which his father had given to Gloucester Abbey, as a priory of the house. He founded a priory at Tonbridge, Kent. He was also active as a patron of Cardigan Priory. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, lord of Clare, was surprised and slain by the Welsh, near Abergavenny 15 April 1136, and was buried at the Chapter House at Gloucester. Sometime before 1143 his widow, Alice, was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. About 1148 she gave the mill of Taddewell to the monks of St. Peter, Gloucester for the soul of her late husband, Richard Fitz Gilbert; this gift was confirmed by King Henry II in 1153-4.

He married LUCY ___. They had no issue. He was created Earl of Hertford probably by King Stephen in (?1138). He and his uncle, Baldwin Fitz Gilbert, witnessed a charter for King Stephen in 1142. He witnessed a charter of his uncle, Gilbert, Earl of Pembroke, c.1147-8. GILBERT DE CLARE, 1st Earl of Hertford, died between 1151 and 1153, and was buried at Clare Priory.

ii. ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford [see next].
iii. ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expedition to Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral (Gir. Cambr. It. Camb. in Op. (Rolls ed.), iii. 133). In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. He died in 1172, and was buried before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral. Wynn Hist. of the Gnydir Fam. (1827): 20.

Between 1151 and 1152 Ranulf, Earl of Chester ... confirmed the Monks of Shrewsbury in the possession of all their lands between the Ribble and the Mersey. 'The Earl's Charter is dated at Chester, and attested as follows. - Testibus, Comite de Clara, et Cadwaladro ... The Earl of Clare here alluded to, was Gilbert. He was Nephew of Earl Ranulph himself, and, in the year 1146, had been given up to Stephen as a hostage for his Uncle's good faith and allegiance. His flight from Stephen's Court is recorded by the Chroniclers. It is evident that he took refuge with his Uncle. He died, in 1151 without issue, and was succeeded by his brother Roger. This fact, as well as a comparison of dates and ages, will show that Cadwalader's wife, Alice, was a Sister of Earl Gilbert and a daughter of Earl Richard de Clare, and, finally, a niece of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. For a time he [Cadwallader] remained in alliance with the English, as when, in 1159, he assisted the Earls of Clare and of Bristol to relieve Carmarthen, then besieged by Prince Rese of South Wales. He was also a munificent Benefactor to Haughmond Abbey. In 1165 he is found leagued with Owen Gwyneth against the English, and probably retained that adverse position till his death in 1172.").

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Bienfaite and Orbec (both in Normandy), Justiciar of Ireland, son and heir, born about 1130. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he refused to acknowledged Richard as earl and took the lordship of Pembroke into his own hands. In Autumn 1167 he came to an agreement with Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster; for the earl's assistance with an army, he could have Eve, Dermot's eldest daughter in marriage and the succession to Leinster. An army was assembled led by Raymond Fitz Gerald (also known as Raymond le Gros) that included Welsh archers; it captured the towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in 1169-70. Richard married at Waterford, Ireland about 26 August 1170 EVE OF LEINSTER daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (also called Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, by Mor, daughter of Muirchertach Ua Tuathail From 1172 onwards, he was styled Earl of Striguil. They had one son, Gilbert [Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1173 he played a critical role in Normandy in defending the castle of Gisors and recapturing Verneuil for the king. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died about 20 April 1176, and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity [Christ Church], Dublin. His widow, Eve, was living in 1187. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, his widow, Eve, as "heres Regis Deremicii,"confirmed to John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors all of her earlier gifts. At her death, she was buried in Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Bienfaite and Orbec (both in Normandy), Justiciar of Ireland, son and heir, born about 1130. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he refused to acknowledged Richard as earl and took the lordship of Pembroke into his own hands. In Autumn 1167 he came to an agreement with Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster; for the earl's assistance with an army, he could have Eve, Dermot's eldest daughter in marriage and the succession to Leinster. An army was assembled led by Raymond Fitz Gerald (also known as Raymond le Gros) that included Welsh archers; it captured the towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in 1169-70. Richard married at Waterford, Ireland about 26 August 1170 EVE OF LEINSTER daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (also called Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, by Mor, daughter of Muirchertach Ua Tuathail From 1172 onwards, he was styled Earl of Striguil. They had one son, Gilbert [Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1173 he played a critical role in Normandy in defending the castle of Gisors and recapturing Verneuil for the king. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died about 20 April 1176, and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity [Christ Church], Dublin. His widow, Eve, was living in 1187. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, his widow, Eve, as "heres Regis Deremicii,"confirmed to John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors all of her earlier gifts.
