    Notes:

    Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (1130 - 20 April 1176), also known as Richard FitzGilbert and commonly referred to by his nickname "Strongbow," was a notable Anglo-Norman lord with a profound impact on the history of Ireland. Born in Tonbridge, Kent, England, he was the son of Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Isabel de Beaumont. His life and actions played a pivotal role in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, marking him as a key figure in both English and Irish history.

    Strongbow inherited his father's title and estates in 1148 but faced challenges in maintaining his position. Initially deprived of his earldom by King Henry II for siding with King Stephen against the Empress Matilda, he later regained favor and his titles. His life took a significant turn in 1167 when he met Diarmait Mac Murchada, the deposed King of Leinster, who sought his help to recover his kingdom. In exchange for his military support, Mac Murchada offered Strongbow his daughter Aoife in marriage and the succession to Leinster.

    Despite initial hesitations from King Henry II, Strongbow embarked on the Irish campaign in 1170. His forces, including Welsh archers, played a crucial role in the capture of key Irish towns such as Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin. These victories were instrumental in establishing Norman rule in Ireland. In 1171, following Mac Murchada's death, Strongbow claimed the kingship of Leinster through his marriage to Aoife, further solidifying his influence in the region.

    Strongbow's relationship with King Henry II was complex. After initial tensions and Henry's intervention in Ireland, Strongbow surrendered some of his conquests to the English king but retained significant lands and power. He supported Henry II in the Revolt of 1173-74 as a reward for his reinstatement in Leinster. His military campaigns in Ireland continued, including a notable defeat in Munster and subsequent victories that re-established his dominance.

    Richard de Clare's marriage to Aoife MacMurrough produced notable offspring, including Isabel de Clare, who became the 4th Countess of Pembroke. Upon Strongbow's death in 1176, his vast estates and influence passed to his daughter and her husband, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke.

    Strongbow's legacy is marked by his military prowess, strategic marriages, and significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland. His actions had lasting impacts on the political landscape of Ireland and the relationship between England and Ireland. Buried in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Strongbow remains a figure of both historical significance and legend, remembered for his role in shaping the course of Irish history.

    Notes:

    Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford (c. 1153-1217), was a significant figure in the late 12th and early 13th centuries in England. Born into the powerful de Clare family, he inherited vast landholdings and titles, including the Earldom of Hertford and lordships in Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, Wales.

    Richard's life was marked by his involvement in key political events of his time. He was present at the coronations of Kings Richard I and John, and at the homage of King William of Scotland as the English Earl of Huntingdon. His political activities extended beyond mere appearances; he played a crucial role in the baronial opposition to King John.

    During the turbulent times leading up to the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215, Richard sided with the barons against King John. His castle at Tonbridge was taken during these conflicts, reflecting his active participation in the baronial cause. Richard was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a group of barons responsible for ensuring the king's adherence to the charter. This involvement places him at the heart of one of the most significant moments in medieval English history.

    Richard's marriage to Amice FitzWilliam, the 4th Countess of Gloucester, further elevated his status. This union brought him additional lands and titles, including the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary. Their children included Gilbert de Clare, who succeeded him as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, and Maud de Clare, who married Sir William de Braose.

    Despite his opposition to King John, Richard was excommunicated by the Pope in 1215 along with his son and other barons. This excommunication was part of the wider conflict between the barons and the king, which the Pope supported.

    Richard de Clare's coat of arms, "Or, three chevronels gules," adopted at the start of the age of heraldry around 1200-1215, became a symbol of his family's enduring legacy in English nobility.

    Richard de Clare's life and actions, particularly his role in the Magna Carta, highlight the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and rebellion in medieval England. His legacy is not only in his contributions to one of the foundational documents of English law but also in his descendants, who continued to play significant roles in English history. His death in 1217 marked the end of an era, but his impact on English history continued through his family and their extensive influence.

    Richard married FITZWILLIAM, 4th Countess of Gloucester Amice in 1177. Amice (daughter of Living, daughter of FITZROBERT, William and BEAUMONT, Hawise) was born in 1160 in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England; died on 1 Jan 1225 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Gilbert de Clare, born in 1180, was a notable figure in medieval England, remembered as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester. He was the son of Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford, and Amice Fitz William, Countess of Gloucester. Gilbert's life was marked by his involvement in significant historical events, including the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War.

    Inheriting his father's titles and estates in 1217, Gilbert became one of the most influential and wealthiest nobles of his time. His mother's heritage also brought him the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary, along with a portion of the Giffard estates from his ancestor, Rohese Giffard. His holdings and influence were further expanded through his marriage to Isabel Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, one of the most powerful men in England.

    Gilbert's role in the Magna Carta was significant. In 1215, he and his father were among the barons who became sureties of the charter, a document that sought to limit the powers of the king and establish certain legal protections. His involvement in this pivotal moment in history highlights his status and influence in the political landscape of the time.

    During the First Barons' War, Gilbert initially supported Louis le Dauphin of France against King John of England. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln under the baronial banner but was captured in 1217 by William Marshal. This capture led to a change in allegiance, and he later married Marshal's daughter, Isabel, on her 17th birthday.

    Gilbert's military prowess was not limited to the English shores. In 1223, he joined an expedition into Wales and, two years later, was present at the confirmation of the Magna Carta by King Henry III. His leadership and martial skills were again on display in 1228 when he led an army against the Welsh, capturing the notable Welsh leader Morgan Gam.

    Gilbert's life, however, was not solely defined by warfare and politics. He was also a patron of religious and charitable institutions, a role typical of the nobility of his time. His contributions to the social and religious fabric of his estates were significant, reflecting the responsibilities and interests of a medieval lord.

    Gilbert de Clare's death in 1230, while on an expedition to Brittany, marked the end of an influential career. His body was returned to England and buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, a testament to his status and the respect he commanded. His legacy continued through his children, who maintained the de Clare family's prominence in English history.

    Gilbert de Clare's life exemplifies the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and warfare in medieval England. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War, combined with his vast estates and influential marriage, cements his place as a significant figure in the history of medieval England.

    Margaret de Clare, countess of Gloucester, was the second daughter of Gilbert de Clare and his wife, Joan of Acre. [1] She was reportedly 22 years old at the time of death of her brother Gilbert at Bannockburn in 1314.

    She was married first to Piers Gaveston, Knight, Earl of Cornwall, on 1 November 1307 [2] at Berkhamsted. They had one daughter, Joan, [3] who was born on 12 January 1312 in York (she died on 13 January 1325). Piers was executed (beheaded) 19 June 1312, [4] and in September the king endowed the widowed Margaret de Clare with lands valued at 2000 marks per annum.

    In 1314, Margaret was co-heiress to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knight, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by which she inherited the Castle, borough, and lordship of Newport, and manors of Wentlloog and Machen, Monmouthshire, the Castle and manor of Tonbridge, Kent, and manors in many other counties, including Chipping Ongar, Essex, Campden and Thornbury, Gloucestershire, Naseby, Rothwell, and Whiston, Northamptonshire, Rotherhithe, Surrey, etc. [5]

    King Edward II was Margaret's uncle. [6]On 28 April 1317, at King's Chapel, Windsor, Berkshire, England, she married her second husband, Hugh Audley the younger. [7] Margaret predeceased her husband, dying on 9 April 1342. [8] At the time of her death she still held several manors in Devon and Newport in Essex as dower lands from her marriage to Gaveston. Her heir was her daughter Margaret, wife of Ralph Stafford, first earl of Stafford, said at the time of her mother's death to be aged, variously, eighteen or twenty years and more.

    Margaret was buried at Queenhithe, London.[9] Wealth at death: 2000 marks p.a. in jointure with Hugh Audley; share of Clare lands; £1500 p.a. The burial location referred to by Richardson in both Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry is actually St. Michael Queenhithe, a church in the City of London in what is now Upper Thomas Street. First recorded in the 12th century, the church was destroyed during the Great London Fire of 1666. Rebuilt by famed 17th century architect Sir Christopher Wren, the church was demolished in 1876.
