“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GILBERT FITZ RICHARD (also styled DE CLARE and DE TONBRIDGE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., born before 1066. He succeeded to the English possessions of his father. He married ALICE (or ADELICIA, ADELIZ, ADALICIA, ADELID, HADALAIDIS) DE CLERMONT, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin de Rameru, Count of Montdidier and Roucy [see CLERMONT 1 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.
Children of Gilbert Fitz Richard, by Alice de Clermont:
i. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT [see next].
ii. GILBERT FITZ GILBERT, 1st Earl of Pembroke, married ISABEL OF MEULAN [see PEMBROKE 3].
iii. BALDWIN FITZ GILBERT, of Bourne, Lincolnshire, married ALINE (or ADELINE) DE ROLLOS [see WAKE 3].
iv. ROHESE (or ROSE) FITZ GILBERT. She consented to a gift of her mother, Alice, to Thorney Abbey dated c.1136-38. She married BADERON DE MONMOUTH, of Monmouth, Monmouthshire. They had two sons, Gilbert and James, and one probable daughter, Rohese (or Rose) (wife of Hugh de Lacy). He and his wife, Rohese, witnessed a charter of Roger, Earl of Hereford to St. Mary, Monmouth dated 1148-55. In the period, c.1150-60, he granted the monks of Monmouth three forges in his borough of Monmouth on the bank of the Wye in exchange for Hadnock, Monmouthshire. He and his wife, Rohese, granted property to St. Florent Abbey. His wife, Rohese, evidently died before 1166, when Baderon gave a knight's fee to the Hospitallers of Quenington for the soul of his wife, Rohese. BADERON DE MONMOUTH was living in 1169-70.
