  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., hereditary Marshal of England, Sheriff of Gloucestershire... Children of William Marshal, Knt., by Isabel de Clare... ii. RICHARD MARSHAL, Knt., 6th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Longueville and Orbec in Normandy, and, in right of his wife, seigneur of Dinan in Brittany, 2nd son, born after 1090 [sic 1190?]. In 1220 his older brother, William ceded all his Norman lands to him. He married in 1222 GERVAISE DE DINAN, widow of Juhel II de Mayenne, seigneur of Mayenne and Dinan (died 2 or 4 May 1220) [see BOHUN 4.iii], and Geoffroi I, Vicomte of Rohan (died 25 Sept. 1221), and daughter of Alain de Dinan (or Vitré). They had no issue. In 1225 he was present at a meeting of Breton nobles in Nantes. In 1226 he and his wife, Gervaise, were granted a weekly market at Ringwood, Hampshire, to be held at the manor until the king came of age. In 1232 the Pope ordered the Bishop of Lisieux to ascertain what degree of affinity existed between Richard and his wife, Gervaise, and to report to the Pope. In 1233 he led the Barons in appealing to the king to dismiss his foreign advisors. In 1233 he was proclaimed a traitor and the office of Marshal was declared to be forfeited. He made an alliance with Llywelyn, and for some months successfully carried on warfare against the royal forces. In 1234 he proceeded to Ireland, where he took Limerick and recovered some of his castles. An abortive conference with the rebels at the Carragh of Kildare on 1 April was followed by a battle, in which he was wounded and captured. While recovering from his wounds, he was practically murdered by a treacherous surgeon. SIR RICHARD MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Kilkenny Castle, co. Kilkenny, Ireland 16 April 1234, and was buried in the Church of the Franciscans at Kilkenny 17 April 1234. He was a benefactor to the abbeys of Dunbrothy, St. Aubin des Bois, and Savigny, and he confirmed the possessions of Beaulieu Abbey. His widow, Gervaise, founded a chantry in Saint-Aubin-des-Bois Abbey 22 December 1236. She was also a benefactor of Lehon Priory. Gervaise, Countess of Pembroke, died testate sometime before June 1248. Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 266 (Obit. of Tintern Abbey: "Richardus comes marescallus obiit die xv.

They had no issue. In February 1196 his wife, Maud, formally quitclaimed to her brother, Henry de Bohun, all her right to the vill of Walton upon Thames, Surrey (a Bohun family property), in exchange for confirmation of lands which she had in marriage with Juhel de Mayenne, namely lands in the vills of Blackmoor (in Selborne), Hampshire and Newton Tony, Wiltshire.
