| Birth* | 1174 | Isabel was born in 1174 at Pembroke, Wales.1,3,4 |
| Marriage* | August 1189 | Isabel de Clare Countess Strigoil married William Marshall 4th Earl of Pembroke, son of John FitzGilbert Marshall and Sibilla (Sibyl) de Salisbury, August 1189 in London, Middlesex, England. With this marriage, William Marshal became "in right of his wife" one of the greatest lords and magnates in the Plantagenet kingdom. Isabel brought to Marshal the palatine lordships of Pembroke and Striguil in Wales and the lordship of Leinster in Ireland. These were large fiefs of land where the lord held as tenant-in-chief of the Crown. A palatine lord's word was law within his lands. He had the right to appoint his own officials, courts and sheriffs, and collect and keep the proceeds of his courts and governments. Except for ecclesiastical cases, the king's writ did not run in the palatinates. King Richard also allowed Marshal to have 1/2 of the barony of Giffard for 2000 marks. This barony was split with Richard de Clare, Earl of Clare and Hertford, who held the barony in England as lord while Marshal held the land in Normandy as lord. This gave Marshal the demesne manors of Crendon in Buckinghamshire and Caversham in Oxfordshire, for 43 knights' fees, and the fief of Longueville in Normandy with the castles of Longueville and Mueller and Moulineaux, for about 40 knights' fees. He met his wife for the first time in a room in the Tower of London in August 1189.1,5,6,3,7 |
