Notes for Thomas de Clare , Lord of Thomond
Notes:
Weis' "Ancestral Roots" (54:31) states that he was Governor of London and Lord of Inchequin and Youghae and identifies MARGARET as his daughter. (64:31-32) identifies Maud as his daughter. Also mentioned (178:7).
According to Cockayne's "Complete Peerage", he had a public career and was a friend of Prince Edward (the future King Edward I [RIN 728]), with whom he went on a crusade. In July 1257 and later, he and his brother, Bevis or Benet, were allowed oaks from the forest of Shotover for their fuel at Oxford. Thomas was knighted by Simon de Montfort (RIN 2884*) before Lewes. and in April 1265 the castle of St. Briavel's was given into his charge.
The second son, Thomas, born sometime between 1244 and 1247, and the youngest, Bogo, born in 1248, had remarkably dissimilar but equally significant careers. Thomas, who died in 1287, was a close friend of Edward I and one of the most important members of the lesser baronage in his reign. He entered royal service and in a manner reminiscent of his ancestor Strongbow a century earlier, succeeded in establishing himself among the great Anglo-Irish magnates in the late thirteenth century by conquering the lordship of Thomond (modern County Clare). He left two legitimate sons who succeeded him, Gilbert (d. 1308) and Richard (d. 1318), a bastard son Master Richard, who died in 1338, and two daughters, Maud, the wife of Robert de Clifford of Westmoreland (d. 1314) and Robert de Welle, and Margaret, the wife of Gilbert de Umphraville (d. 1307), son of the earl of Angus, and Bartholomew de Badlesmere (d. 1322). --- Michael Altschul, *A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares,1217-1314*, Baltimore MD (Johns Hopkins Press) 1965. p 34-36
