This nobleman,who, like his predecessors, was zealous in the cause of the barons,proceeded to London immediately after the defeat sustained by theinsurrectionary lords at Northampton (48th Henry III) [1264], in order torouse the citizens, which, having effected, he received the honour ofknighthood from Montfort, Earl of Leicester, at the head of the army atLewes; of which army, his lordship, with John Fitz-John and William deMontchensi, commanded the second brigade, and having mainly contributedto the victory in which the king and prince became prisoners, while thewhole power of the realm fell into the hands of the victors, the earlprocured a grant under the great seal of all the lands and possessionslying in England of John de Warren, Earl of Surrey, one of the mostfaithful adherents of the king, excepting the castles of Riegate andLewes, to hold during the pleasure of the crown, and he soon after, withsome of the principal barons, extorted from the captive monarch acommission authorizing Stephen, then bishop of Chichester, SimonMontford, Earl of Leicester, and himself, to nominate nine persons of'the most faithful, prudent, and most studious of the public weal,' aswell prelates as others, to manage all things according to the laws andcustoms of the realm until the consultations at Lewes should terminate.Being jealous, however, of the power of Leicester, the earl soon afterabandoned the baronial cause and, having assisted in procuring theliberty of the king and prince, commanded the second brigade of the royalarm at the battle of Evesham, which restored the kingly power to itsformer lustre. In reward of these eminent services he received a fullpardon for himself and his brother Thomas of all prior treasons, and thecustody of the castle of Bergavenny during the minority of Maud, wife ofHumphrey de Bohun. His lordship veered again though in his allegiance andhe does not appear to have been sincerely reconciled to the royal causeuntil 1270, in which year, demanding from Prince Edward repayment of theexpenses he had incurred at the battle of Evesham, with livery of all thecastles and lands which his ancestors had possessed and, those demandshaving been complied with, he thenceforward became a good and loyalsubject of the crown. Upon the death of King Henry, the Earl of Hertfordand Gloucester was one of the lords who met at the New Temple in Londonto proclaim Prince Edward, then in the Holy Land, successor to the crown,and so soon as the new monarch returned to England, his lordship was thefirst to entertain him and his whole retinue with great magnificence forseveral days at his castle of Tonebruge. In the 13th Edward I [1285], hislordship divorced his wife Alice, the French princess, and inconsideration of her illustrious birth, granted for her support duringher life, six extensive manors and parks, and he m. in 1289, Joan ofAcre, dau. of King Edward I, upon which occasion he gave up theinheritance of his castles and manors, as well in England as i Wales, tohis royal father-in-law, to dispose of as he might think proper; whichmanors, &c., were entailed by the king upon the earl's issue by the saidJoane, and in default, upon her heirs and assigns, should she survive thelordship. By this lady he had issue, Gilbert, his successor, Alianore,Margaret, and Elizabeth. His lordship d. in 1295, and the Countess Joansurviving, m. a 'plain esquire,' called Ralph de Monthermer,clandestinely, without the king, her father's, knowledge, but to whichalliance he was reconciled through the intercession of Anthony Beke, thecelebrated bishop of Durham, and became eventually much attached to hisnow son-in-law.

----------

Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester (1243-1295), 8th earl of Gloucesterand 9th earl of Clare, was born at Christchurch, Hampshire, on Sept. 2,1243. He married Alice of Angoulême, niece of king Henry III, succeededhis father in July 1262, and joined the baronial party led by Simon deMontfort. With Simon, Gloucester was at the battle of Lewes in May 1264,when the king himself surrendered to him, and after this victory he wasone of the three persons selected to nominate a council. Soon, however,he quarreled with Simon. Leaving London for his lands on the Welsh borderhe met Prince Edward, afterward king Edward I, at Ludlow, just after hisescape from captivity; and contributed largely to the prince's victory atEvesham in August 1265. But this alliance was as transitory as the onewith Leicester, Gloucester championed the barons who had surrendered atKenilworth in November and December 1266, and after putting his demandsbefore the king, secured possession of London (April 1267). The earlquickly made his peace with Henry III and with Prince Edward. UnderEdward I he spent several years in fighting in Wales, or on the Welshborder; in 1289 when the barons were asked for a subsidy he replied ontheir behalf that they would grant nothing until they saw the king inperson (nihi prius personaliter viderent in Anglia faciem regis), and in1291 he was fined and imprisoned on account of levying private war onHumphrey de Bohun, earl of Hereford. Having divorced his wife Alice, hemarried in 1290 Edward's daughter Joan, or Johanna (d. 1307). The 'RedEarl,' as he is sometimes called, died at Monmouth on Dec. 7, 1295,leaving, in addition to three daughters, a son, Gilbert, earl ofGloucester, killed at Bannockburn.

'The Red' One ofthe greatest of the Clares. A leader of the barons in the early stages of the Barons' War against King Henry III, he deserted the baronial side in 1265, thus helping to ensure a royal victory at the Battle of Evesham. Two years laterhe changed sides again, captured London, and forced the king to accept a negotiated settlement. In 1290 he married Joan of Acre, a daughter of Henry's successor, King Edward I. When
Gilbert de Clare, 10th Earlof Clare (1291-1314), died childless, the male line of the Clares came to an end. His
sister, Elizabeth de Clare (1291?-1360), founded Clare College at the University of Cambridge. The title Earlof Clare was revived for a time in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, when it was held by the Holles

RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, 1st son and heir, b. 4Aug 1222. The custody of his lands and his wardship and marriage weregiven to Hubert de Burgh, the Justiciar, on whose fall from power in July1232, the King resumed the wardship. In 1243, being of full age, he didhomage and all his lands in the King's hand were ordered to besurrendered to him. . .

He m. 1stly, Margaret, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. She d.in Nov 1237, her body resting a night at St. Albans on the way toburial. He m. 2ndly, on or before 25 Jan 1237/8, Maud, daughter of Johnde Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, by Margaret, daughter of Robert de Quincy. Hed. at John de Criol's manor of Ashenfield in Waltham, near Canterbury, 15Jul 1262 (h), it being rumoured that he had been poisoned at the table ofPiers of Savoy. On the following Monday, he was carried to Canterbury,where a mass for the dead was sung and his bowels were buried before thealtar of St. Edward, after which his body was taken to the canons' churchat Tonbridge and interred in the choir. Thence it was taken toTewkesbury and buried 28 Jul 1262, with great solemnity in the presenceof two bishops and eight abbots in the presbytery, at his father's righthand. His widow, who erected a splendid tomb for him there, had themanor of Clare and the manor and castle of Usk, for her dower. She wasliving 1287, but d. before 10 Mar 1288/9. [Complete Peerage V:696-702]

(h) . . . In a book by a monk of Evesham or Pershore there is a story inwhich he figures relating to Sabbath day observance. At Tewkesbury in1260 a Jew fell into a privy on a Saturday and refused to be pulled out,whereupon the Earl refused to take him out on Sunday, and on Monday theJew was dead. [Sounds like a sorry joke to me.] The Earl's character isgiven by Matthew Paris in 1253: 'The Earl was young, graceful, eloquent,careful, well skilled in the laws, and generally such a man as that thehope of all the English nobles might well rest upon him and he could havethe favour and good will of all. This hope was, however, deceptive, forbase avarice grievously obscured his nobility.' . . .

. . . Besides his son and successor in title, Gilbert, the Earl had twosons: (1) Thomas de Clare, who had a public career and was a friend ofPrince Edward, with whom he went on a Crusade. In July 1257 and later heand his brother Bevis or Benet were allowed oaks from the forest ofShotover for their fuel at Oxford. Thomas was knighted by Simon deMontfort before Lewes and in Apr 1265 the castle of St. Briavel's wasgiven into his charge. He d. in Ireland Feb 1287/8, leaving a son andheir Thomas, and a son Richard, a clerk. (2) Bevis or Benet, the Earl's3rd son, b. 21 July 1248, was a clerk of Oxford, and received variousbenefices and preferments from 1259 on. He d. suddenly in Oct 1294.There was possibly another son, Robert de Clare, mentioned in 1290 byBartholomew de Cotton. The Earl left 4 daughters: (1) Isabel, b. May1240, m. Jun 1257, the Marquess of Montferrat at Lyons. (2) Margaret, b.1249, m. 1272, Edmund, Earl of Cornwall. (3) Roese, b. 17 Oct 1252, m.1270, Roger de Mowbray. Roese's date of birth is probably later than1252, since she was apparently under 15 years of age in 1270. (4)Eglentine, b. 1257, buried at Tewkesbury, aged 15 weeks. [CompletePeerage, V:700-1 note (h), corrected by XIV:340]

Note that, according to the website 'Some Corrections and Additions toCP', Volume XIV, removed references to Thomas as son of Richard de Clareelsewhere in CP (but not in the above note), however Thomas'identification as Richard's son appears to be justified by recordevidence; therefore the 'removal' should itself be removed.

Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford and 2nd Earl of Gloucester, thenin minority at the decease of his father in 1229. The wardship of thisyoung nobleman was granted to the famous Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent,Justiciary of England, whose dau., Margaret, to the great displeasure ofthe king (Henry III), he afterwards (1243) clandestinely married but fromwhom he was probably divorced, for we find the king marrying him the nextyear to Maude, dau. of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, in considerationwhereof the said John paid to the crown 5,000 marks and remitted a debtof 2,000 more. His lordship, who appears to have been a verydistinguished personage in the reign of Henry III, was one of the chiefnobles present in Westminster Hall (40th Henry III) [1256], whenBoniface, archbishop of Canterbury, with divers other prelates,pronounced that solemn curse, with candles lighted, against all those whoshould thenceforth violate Magna Carta. In two years afterwards, anattempt was made by Walter de Scotenay, his chief counsellor, to poisonthe earl and his brother William, which proved effective as to thelatter, while his lordship narrowly escaped with the loss of his hair andnails. In the next year the earl was commissioned, with others of thenobility by the appointment of the king and the whole baronage ofEngland, to the parliament of France to convey King Henry III'sresignation of Normandy and to adjust all differences between the twocrowns; and upon the return of the mission, his lordship reportedproceedings to the king, in parliament. About this period he had licenseto fortify the isle of Portland and to embattle it as a fortress. It isreported of this nobleman that, being at Tewkesbury in the 45th Henry III[1261], a Jew, who had fallen into a jakes upon the Saturday, refusing tobe pulled out in reverence of the Jewish sabbath, his lordship prohibitedany help to be afforded him on the next day, the Christian sabbath, andthus suffered the unfortunate Israelite to perish. He d. himself in theJuly of the next year (1262), having been poisoned at the table of Peterde Savoy, the queen's uncle, along with Baldwin, Earl of Devon, and otherpersons of note. His lordship left issue, Gilbert, his successor, Thomas,Rose, and Margaret. The earl was s. by his elder son, Gilbert de Clare.[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage,London, 1883, p. 119, Clare, Lords of Clare, Earls of Hertford, Earls ofGloucester]

July 15, 1262, Eschemerfield, nearCanterbury, Kent, Eng.), the most powerful English noble of his time. Heheld estates in more than 20 English counties, including the lordship ofTewkesbury, wealthy manors in Gloucester, and the great marcher lordshipof Glamorgan. He himself acquired the Kilkenny estates in Ireland and thelordship of Usk and Caerleon in south Wales, making him the greatest lordin south Wales; in Glamorgan especially he was almost an independentprince.

Son of Gilbert de Clare (the 6th Earl), Richard succeeded to the earldomsin October 1230. He refused to help King Henry III on the Frenchexpedition of 1253 but was with him afterward at Paris. Thereafter hewent on a diplomatic errand to Scotland and was sent to Germany to workamong the princes for the election of his stepfather, Richard, Earl ofCornwall, as king of the Romans. About 1258 Gloucester became a leader ofthe barons in their resistance to the king, and he was prominent duringthe proceedings that followed the Mad Parliament at Oxford in 1258. In1259, however, he quarreled with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester;the dispute, begun in England, was renewed in France, and he was again inthe confidence of the king. This attitude, too, was only temporary, andin 1261 Gloucester and Montfort were again working in concord.[Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, GLOUCESTER, RICHARD DE CLARE, 7THEARL OF] He was Ambassador To France 1259 in 1259.

Although thegranddaughter of a king, she had few material prospects, and that wouldindicate that her marriage to Sir Thomas was a love match.
