to a treaty of peacewith the King.
March 4, 1215/16--his lands in the counties of Cambridge, Norfolk,
Suffolk, and Essex were granted to Robert de Betun. Richard and his son
were among the Barons excommunicated by the Pope in 1215.
Roger's son Richard, hereinafter Richard de CLARE acquired half of the
former honor of Giffardin 1189 when King Richard I, in need of money for
the Third Crusade, agreedto divide the Giffard estates between Richard
de CLARE and his cousin Isabel,Strongbow's daughter based on their
claims of descendancy to Rohese Giffard.Richard de CLARE obtained Long
Crendon in Buckingham, the caput of the Giffard honor in England,
associated manors in Buckingham, Cambridge, and Bedfordshire, and 43
knights' fees, in addition to some former Giffard lands in Normandy. When
Richard de CLARE's mother Maud died in 1195, he obtained the honorof St.
Hilary. Maud's 2nd husband, William de Aubigny, Earl of Arundel, who had
held St. Hilary jure uxoris, d. in 1193, and despite the fact he had a
son and heir, the honor reverted to Maud and after her death escheated to
thecrown. Richard de CLARE offered 360 and acquired it. The honor later
became absorbed into the honor of CLARE and lost its separate identity.
Richard de CLARE's most important act, however, was his marriage to
Amicia, 2nd daughter and eventual sole heir to William Earl of
Gloucester. The Gloucester inheritance included the earldom and honor of
Gloucester with over 260 knights' fees in
England, along with the important marcher lordships of Glamorgan and
Gwynllwg. It was not easy though!! William died 1183, leaving 3
daughters. The eldest, Mabel, married Amaury de Montfort, Count of
Evreux, while the second, Amicia married Richard de CLARE. King Henry II
meanwhile arranged the marriageof the youngest Isabel, to his son John,
Count of Mortain, in 1189. When Johnbecame King in 1199, he divorced
Isabel to marry Isabelle of Angoulume, but,he kept the 1st Isabel in his
custody. Then in 1200, John created Mabel's son Amaury Earl of
Gloucester. In addition, Richard de CLARE and his son Gilbert were given
a few estates and 10 fees of the honor of Gloucester of Kent; otherwise,
John kept the bulk of the honor, with the great lordships of Glamorgan
and Gwynllwg. Mabel's son Amaury died without issue in 1213. Shortly
thereafter, John gave the 1st Isabel in marriage to Geoffrey de
Mandeville, Earlof Essex, who was also created Earl of Gloucester. When
Geoffrey died, theinheritance was assigned to Hubert de Burgh, the
justiciar. Hubert married Countess Isabel shortly before her death in
Oct. 1217, however, he did not retain the estates, since they passed to
Amicia, now recognized as Countess of Gloucesthire, and her husband
Richard de CLARE, despite the fact Richard and Amicia had been separated
since 1200.
Richard outlived Isabel by several weeksand by 28 Nov 1217, he was dead,
leaving Gilbert, aged 38, as the sole heirto the Clare and Gloucester
estates and title. Gilbert de CLARE assumed the title of Earl of
Gloucester and Hertford and was charged £350 relief for the honors of
Clare, Gloucester, St. Hilary and his half of the old Giffard barony. He
controlled some 456 knights fees, far more than any other, and it did not
include some 50 fees in Glamorgan and Gwynllwg.By a remarkable series of
fortuitous marriages and quick deaths, the CLARES
