“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.
