http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoife_of_Leinster
Aoife MacMurrough (1145–1188, Irish: Aoife Ní Diarmait), also known by later historians as Eva of Leinster, was the dau. of Dermot MacMurrough (Irish: Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, and his wife Mor O'Toole (ca.1114 - 1191). Aoife conducted battles on behalf of her husband and is sometimes known as Red Eva (Irish: Aoife Rua).

Marriage
On 29 Aug 1170, following the Norman invasion of Ireland that her father had requested, she md. Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, better known as Strongbow, in Christchurch Cathedral, Waterford. Strongbow was the leader of the Norman invasion force. Aoife had been promised to Strongbow by her father who had visited England to ask for an invasion army. He was not allowed to give his dau. away, as under Early Irish Law, Aoife had the choice of whom she md.. But Aoife had to agree to an arranged marriage.
Under Anglo-Norman law, this gave Strongbow succession rights to the Kingdom of Leinster. Under Irish Brehon law, the marriage gave her a life interest only, after which any land would normally revert to male cousins; but Brehon law also recognized a transfer of "swordland" following a conquest.
Aoife conducted battles on behalf of her husband and is sometimes known as Red Eva (Irish: Aoife Rua). She had two sons with her husband Richard de Clare, and within several generations her descendants included much of the nobility of northwestern Europe, including Richard,1st Earl of Cornwall who was elected King of the Romans in 1257.
Through other lines she is the ancestor of the Scottish Kings Robert the Bruce (and his descendants) and John Balliol, and of Irish magnates such as the Earls of Kildare, Ormond and Desmond.
Aoife is also the ancestor of many Kings of England by a number of lines of descent, such as that of her grand-dau. Eva Marshal, whose dau. Maude md. Roger de Mortimer. They are ancestors of the Kings of England from Edward IV onwards (with the exception of Henry VII). Another line of descent is that of a dau. of Maude, Katherine Mortimer, md. Thomas de Beauchamp 11th Earl of Warwick, and they were ancestors of the Earls of Warwick and also of the Edward IV and most subsequent Kings of England.
When Richard "Strongbow" de Clare, died, King Henry II took his lands into royal hands, with William fitz Audelin as administrator in Ireland and Aoife holding dower rights, and possibly the lordship of Striguil, until as late as 1185-86. Strongbow's dau. and heir, Isabel, was protected by Henry II; one of Henry's last acts was to promise Isabel and all of her father's lands to William Marshal in 1189.
A life-size statue of her sits at Carrickfergus Castle, with a plaque describing her as "thinking of home."

Children :
Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke (1172-1240) md. Aug 1189, Sir William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, Lord Marshal, son of John Fitz Gilbert, Marshal (Marechal) of England, and Sibylla of Salisbury.
Gilbert de Striguil (Chepstow), 3rd Earl of Pembroke (1173 - 1185) Inherited title from father but died as a minor. The title then went to his sister's husband on marriage.
Joan de Clare (1175 - ?) md. Godfrey Gamage, son of William de Gamages and Elizabeth de Miners.
