      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.

They had two sons, Maredudd and Howel. RHYS GRYG died in 1233, and was buried in St. David's Cathedral. Vincent A Discoverie of Errours (1622): 122. Thomson Hist.

      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.

      “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.
