RICHARD DE CLARE, EARL OF GLOUCESTER and HERTFORD, also Lord of Clare,&c., son and heir, born 4 August 1222, died 15 July 1262, and was buriedat Tewkesbury. [Complete Peerage III:244, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of GLoucester and Hertford, also Lord Clare, sonand heir. He d. 1262. [Complete Peerage VI:503]

EARLDOM OF GLOUCESTER (V) 1230

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]

Richard de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester, 8TH EARL OF CLARE, 6TH EARL OFHERTFORD (b. Aug. 4, 1222--d. 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]

Richard de Clare, earl of Gloucester, was the first to introduce the Friars Hermites of St. Austin to England and it is generally assumed that the first establishment of the Austin Friars was at Clare, and that they were brought to England in the year 1248. [Victoria History of Suffolk, p. 127]

By the middle of the 13th century Richard de Clare had expelled the Welsh rulers from the western valleys of Glamorgan, as far as the Rhondda, whilst leaving the rest undisturbed.
Richard de Clare was a leading member of the reforming party of barons in England. King Henry III's personal style of government and his reliance on foreign advisors had antagonized many of the barons who regarded the royal policy as diminishing their own power and influence. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, prince of Gwynedd, exploited this division and dissension among the English. On Richard de Clare's death in 1262, Llywelyn moved up the Usk valley, capturing the Brecon lands of Humphrey de Bohun (guardian of the young de Clare heir), and reaching the northern edge of Glamorgan. By 1267 Llywelyn had become master of the greater part of modern Wales, except for the southern coastal plain.
The vast Gloucester estates of the de Clares were centered on Tewkesbury, where they were patrons and benefactors of the Benedictine abbey. In two of the great clerestory windows at the east end of the church, four de Clare earls are depicted in stained glass. [Caerphilly Castle, p. 6]

Joined the confederation of the barons in the Parliament held at Oxford in 1258. A difference soon showed itself between Leicester (Simon de Montfort), who desired to reform the central administration, and Gloucester, who aimed at securing the privileges of the greater baronage by paralysing it. The dangers from Wales led Hereford (Humphrey de Bohun) to support Leicester against Gloucester, and in 1259 he and the other nobels compelled Gloucester to make overtures. [The Victoria History of the Counties of England: Herefordshire, p. 364]

8th Earl of Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester died at table of Peter of Savoy by evil doing. [Royal Ancestors of Some American Families by Michel Call SLC 1989 chart 11362]

The early Middle Ages were turbulent times, as the Welsh continued to harry their Anglo-Norman Overlords. Whether the original Castell Coch was built by the Welsh, or the Normans, is not clear, though 13th century work is attributed to Earl Richard de Clare and Earl Gilbert de Glare, lords of Glamorgan. It is likely that the castle was severly damaged in a brief but furious Welsh rebellion in 1316 and it was not repaired. So the Red Castle fell into a slumber that was to last for over five centuries. ["Escape to Red Castle, Realm Magazine]

Richard was a boy at the deth of his father, the Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, in 1230. His lands, wardship and marriage were given to the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh, whose daughter Margaret was secretly married to Richard. Hubert fell from grace in July 1232, whence Richard again became ward of the King. His wife Margaret died Nov 1237. The Earl of Lincoln was to have Richard's marriage for 3000 marks (CPR 1232-47, p. 200), and Richard de Clare was married to Maud de Lacy, daughter of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, by his wife Margaret de Quinkcy, by 25 Jan 1237/8, when he would have been 15. Maud (de Lacy) de Clare survived her husband, and held the manor of Clare with other lands in dower, dying 1287/9. [(XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)]

Richard, who was only 8 years old at the death of his father, was left in the unenviable position of having to carry on his father's feud with Morgan Gam, a grandson of Ifor Bach, the scourge of Count William. On coming of age in 1243 he tightened his father's hold ont he Welsh lords in the uplands and on the fringes of glamorgan. Richard de Clare, although spoken of as 'the foremost baron of England', gained the reputation of being politically unreliable before his death in 1262. His heir, also Gilbert, was a minor and had to wait for two years before succeeding to the lordship. [Cardiff Castle]
