1.Richard FitzGilbert, styled (from his possessions) "de Bienfaite", "De Clare", and "de Tonbridge". Lord of Bienfaite,
Orbec in Normandy; Clare & Tonbridge in England. Regent of England jointly with William de Warenne during the Conqueror's
absence in 1075. King William granted him one of the largest fiefs in the territorial settlement. The lordship centered on
Clare, Suffolk, which had been an important stronghold in Anglo-Saxon times. The bulk of Richard's estates lay in Suffolk,
Essex, Surrey, and Kent, but comprised holdings in other counties in the southern and eastern parts of the kingdom as well.
In addition, William (King) arranged for his marriage with Rohese, sister of Walter Giffard, later earl of Buckingham, and
her dowry, consisting of lands in Huntingdon and Hertford, became absorbed in the family inheritance.
