  “RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford, High Marshal and Chief Butler to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Privy Councillor, 1255, 1258, Warden of the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, and Wyke, 1257, son and heir, born 4 August 1222. His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire. They had three sons, Gilbert, Thomas, Knt., and Boges (or Beges) (clerk) [Treasurer of York], and four daughters, Isabel, Margaret, Rose, and Eglantine. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Guy (or Gaudin), Knt. He served as a captain in the king's army in Guienne in 1241. In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262. In 1276-7 John de Aulton, chaplain, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Countess Maud, and others touching common of pasture in Dauntsey, Wiltshire. In 1284 she founded an Augustinian nunnery for forty nuns at the church of St. John the Evangelist and St. Etheldreda at Legh, Devon. Maud, Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, died 29 December, sometime before 10 March 1288/9.

  === Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of ===
  Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March 1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood living off the revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her children. She attempted, with less success, to present her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England, and after his death the countess continued his generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon. Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of Gloucester. In 1284 Maud provided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the idea of doing this for Sandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence, and the dispossessed canons were under royal protection." She was granted several tracts of land to the Clare priory aft husband Richard's death. She promoted careers of her children. She was a heavy contributor toward ecclesiastical foundations. She re-founded (1284) the Augustinian priory of Canonsleigh. in Devon.

  CAREFUL, NOT: Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville (1230-1304) daughter of Gilbert de Lacy and Isabel Bigod.
  
  Maud de Lacy, (25 January 1223 - 10 March 1289), was an English noblewoman, being the eldest child of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, and the wife of Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, 6th Earl of Gloucester.
  Maud de Lacy had a personality that was described as "highly competitive and somewhat embittered". She became known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century as she was involved in numerous litigations and lawsuits with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her own son. Author Linda Elizabeth Mitchell, in her Portraits of Medieval Women: Family, Marriage, and Politics in England 1225-1350', states that Maud's life has received "considerable attention by historians".
  Maud was styled Countess of Hertford and Countess of Gloucester upon her marriage to Richard de Clare. Although her mother, Margaret de Quincy, was suo jure Countess of Lincoln, this title never passed to Maud as her mother's heir was Henry de Lacy, the son of Maud's deceased younger brother Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract.
  Her eldest son was Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester, a powerful noble during the reigns of kings Henry III of England and Edward I.
  Maud de Lacy was born on 25 January 1223 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, the eldest child of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, a Magna Carta Surety, and Margaret de Quincy, 2nd Countess of Lincoln suo jure.
  Maud had a younger brother Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract who married in 1247 Alasia of Saluzzo, by whom he had three children.
  Her paternal grandparents were Roger de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract and Maud de Clere, and her maternal grandparents were Robert de Quincy and Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln suo jure.
  Maud and her mother, Margaret, were never close; in point of fact, relations between the two women were described as strained. Throughout Maud's marriage, the only interactions between Maud and her mother were quarrels regarding finances, pertaining to the substantial Marshal family property Margaret owned and controlled due to the latter's second marriage on 6 January 1242 to Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke almost two years after the death of Maud's father, John de Lacy in 1240.[5] Despite their poor rapport with one another, Maud was, nevertheless, strongly influenced by her mother.
  The fact that her mother preferred her grandson, Henry over Maud did not help their relationship; Henry, who was also her mother's ward, was made her heir, and he later succeeded to the earldom of Lincoln.
  
  On 25 January 1238 which was her fifteenth birthday, Maud married Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, and 6th Earl of Gloucester, son of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford, 5th Earl of Gloucester, and Isabel Marshal. Maud was his second wife; his first marriage, which was made clandestinely, to Megotta de Burgh, ended in an annulment. Even before the annulment of the Earl's marriage to Megotta, Maud's parents paid King Henry III the enormous sum of 5,000 pounds to obtain[7] his agreement to the marriage. The King supplied her dowry which consisted of the castle of Usk, the manor of Clere, as well as other lands and manors.
  Throughout her marriage, Maud's position as the wife of the most politically significant nobleman of the 13th century was diminished by her mother's control of a third of the Marshal inheritance and her rank as Countess of Lincoln and dowager countess of Pembroke.
  Richard being the heir to one-fifth of the Pembroke earldom was also the guarantor of his mother-in-law's dowry.
  
  In about 1249/50, Maud ostensibly agreed to the transfer of the manor of Naseby in Northamptonshire, which had formed the greatest part of her maritagium [marriage portion], to her husband's young niece Isabella and her husband, William de Forz, 4th Earl of Albemarle as part of Isabella's own maritagium. Years later, after the deaths of both women's husbands, Maud sued Isabella for the property, claiming that it had been transferred against her will. Isabella, however, was able to produce the chirograph that showed Maud's participation in the writing of the document; this according to the Common Law signified Maud's agreement to the transaction, and Maud herself was "amerced for litigating a false claim".
  
  Together Richard and Maud had seven children:
  
  1. Isabel de Clare (1240 - before 1271), married as his second wife, William VII of Montferrat, by whom she had one daughter, Margherita. She was allegedly killed by her husband.
  2. Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester (2 September 1243 - 7 December 1295), married firstly Alice de Lusignan of Angouleme by whom he had two daughters; he married secondly Joan of Acre, by whom he had issue.
  3. Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond (1245 - 29 August 1287), married Juliana FitzGerald, daughter of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly and Maud de Prendergast, by whom he had issue including Richard de Clare, 1st Lord Clare and Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere.
  4. Bovo de Clare, Chancellor of Llandaff (21 July 1248 - 1294)
  5. Margaret de Clare (1250 - 1312/1313), married Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall. Their marriage was childless.
  6. Rohese de Clare (17 October 1252 - after 1316), married Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron Mowbray, by whom she had issue.
  7. Eglantine de Clare (1257 - 1257)
  
  On 15 July 1262, her husband died near Canterbury. Maud designed and commissioned a magnificent tomb for him at Tewkesbury Abbey where he was buried. She also donated the manor of Sydinghowe to the "Priory of Leigh" (i.e. Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, for the soul of Richard, formerly her husband, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford by charter dated to 1280.[9] Their eldest son Gilbert succeeded Richard as the 6th Earl of Hertford and 7th Earl of Gloucester. Although Maud carefully arranged the marriages of her daughters, the King owned her sons' marriage rights.
  
  She was involved in numerous lawsuits and litigations with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her eldest son Gilbert, who sued her for admeasurement of her dowry. In her 27 years of widowhood, Maud brought 33 suits into the central courts; and she herself was sued a total of 44 times. As a result, she was known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century. She endowed many religious houses, including the Benedictine Stoke-by-Clare Priory, Suffolk (re-established in 1124 by Richard de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford having been moved from Clare Castle) and Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, which she re-founded as a nunnery. She also vigorously promoted the clerical career of her son, Bovo, and did much to encourage his ambitions and acquisitiveness. She was largely responsible for many of the benefices that were bestowed on him, which made him the richest churchman of the period. Although not an heiress, Maud herself was most likely the wealthiest widow in 13th century England.
  
  Maud died sometime between 1287 and 10 March 1288/9

  Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March 1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood living off the revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her children. Her activities on behalf of her daughters Margaret and Rohese have been noted [see note under her husband Richard], and she also attempted, with less success, to present her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England, and after his death the countess continued his generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon. Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of Gloucester, but in 1284 Maudprovided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the idea of doing this forSandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence, and the dispossessed canons were under

  “RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford, High Marshal and Chief Butler to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Privy Councillor, 1255, 1258, Warden of the Isle of Portland, Weymouth, and Wyke, 1257, son and heir, born 4 August 1222. His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire. They had three sons, Gilbert, Thomas, Knt., and Boges (or Beges) (clerk) [Treasurer of York], and four daughters, Isabel, Margaret, Rose, and Eglantine. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Guy (or Gaudin), Knt. He served as a captain in the king's army in Guienne in 1241. In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262. In 1276-7 John de Aulton, chaplain, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Countess Maud, and others touching common of pasture in Dauntsey, Wiltshire. In 1284 she founded an Augustinian nunnery for forty nuns at the church of St. John the Evangelist and St. Etheldreda at Legh, Devon. Maud, Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, died 29 December, sometime before 10 March 1288/9.

  CAREFUL, NOT: Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville (1230–1304) daughter of Gilbert de Lacy and Isabel Bigod.
  
  Maud de Lacy, (25 January 1223 – 10 March 1289), was an English noblewoman, being the eldest child of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, and the wife of Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, 6th Earl of Gloucester.
  Maud de Lacy had a personality that was described as "highly competitive and somewhat embittered". She became known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century as she was involved in numerous litigations and lawsuits with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her own son. Author Linda Elizabeth Mitchell, in her Portraits of Medieval Women: Family, Marriage, and Politics in England 1225-1350', states that Maud's life has received "considerable attention by historians".
  Maud was styled Countess of Hertford and Countess of Gloucester upon her marriage to Richard de Clare. Although her mother, Margaret de Quincy, was suo jure Countess of Lincoln, this title never passed to Maud as her mother's heir was Henry de Lacy, the son of Maud's deceased younger brother Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract.
  Her eldest son was Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester, a powerful noble during the reigns of kings Henry III of England and Edward I.
  Maud de Lacy was born on 25 January 1223 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, the eldest child of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, a Magna Carta Surety, and Margaret de Quincy, 2nd Countess of Lincoln suo jure.
  Maud had a younger brother Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract who married in 1247 Alasia of Saluzzo, by whom he had three children.
  Her paternal grandparents were Roger de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract and Maud de Clere, and her maternal grandparents were Robert de Quincy and Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln suo jure.
  Maud and her mother, Margaret, were never close; in point of fact, relations between the two women were described as strained. Throughout Maud's marriage, the only interactions between Maud and her mother were quarrels regarding finances, pertaining to the substantial Marshal family property Margaret owned and controlled due to the latter's second marriage on 6 January 1242 to Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke almost two years after the death of Maud's father, John de Lacy in 1240.[5] Despite their poor rapport with one another, Maud was, nevertheless, strongly influenced by her mother.
  The fact that her mother preferred her grandson, Henry over Maud did not help their relationship; Henry, who was also her mother's ward, was made her heir, and he later succeeded to the earldom of Lincoln.
  
  On 25 January 1238 which was her fifteenth birthday, Maud married Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, and 6th Earl of Gloucester, son of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford, 5th Earl of Gloucester, and Isabel Marshal. Maud was his second wife; his first marriage, which was made clandestinely, to Megotta de Burgh, ended in an annulment. Even before the annulment of the Earl's marriage to Megotta, Maud's parents paid King Henry III the enormous sum of 5,000 pounds to obtain[7] his agreement to the marriage. The King supplied her dowry which consisted of the castle of Usk, the manor of Clere, as well as other lands and manors.
  Throughout her marriage, Maud's position as the wife of the most politically significant nobleman of the 13th century was diminished by her mother's control of a third of the Marshal inheritance and her rank as Countess of Lincoln and dowager countess of Pembroke.
  Richard being the heir to one-fifth of the Pembroke earldom was also the guarantor of his mother-in-law's dowry.
  
  In about 1249/50, Maud ostensibly agreed to the transfer of the manor of Naseby in Northamptonshire, which had formed the greatest part of her maritagium [marriage portion], to her husband's young niece Isabella and her husband, William de Forz, 4th Earl of Albemarle as part of Isabella's own maritagium. Years later, after the deaths of both women's husbands, Maud sued Isabella for the property, claiming that it had been transferred against her will. Isabella, however, was able to produce the chirograph that showed Maud's participation in the writing of the document; this according to the Common Law signified Maud's agreement to the transaction, and Maud herself was "amerced for litigating a false claim".
  
  Together Richard and Maud had seven children:
  
  1. Isabel de Clare (1240 – before 1271), married as his second wife, William VII of Montferrat, by whom she had one daughter, Margherita. She was allegedly killed by her husband.
  2. Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester (2 September 1243 – 7 December 1295), married firstly Alice de Lusignan of Angouleme by whom he had two daughters; he married secondly Joan of Acre, by whom he had issue.
  3. Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond (1245 – 29 August 1287), married Juliana FitzGerald, daughter of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly and Maud de Prendergast, by whom he had issue including Richard de Clare, 1st Lord Clare and Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere.
  4. Bovo de Clare, Chancellor of Llandaff (21 July 1248 – 1294)
  5. Margaret de Clare (1250 – 1312/1313), married Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall. Their marriage was childless.
  6. Rohese de Clare (17 October 1252 – after 1316), married Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron Mowbray, by whom she had issue.
  7. Eglantine de Clare (1257 – 1257)
  
  On 15 July 1262, her husband died near Canterbury. Maud designed and commissioned a magnificent tomb for him at Tewkesbury Abbey where he was buried. She also donated the manor of Sydinghowe to the "Priory of Leigh" (i.e. Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, for the soul of Richard, formerly her husband, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford by charter dated to 1280.[9] Their eldest son Gilbert succeeded Richard as the 6th Earl of Hertford and 7th Earl of Gloucester. Although Maud carefully arranged the marriages of her daughters, the King owned her sons' marriage rights.
  
  She was involved in numerous lawsuits and litigations with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her eldest son Gilbert, who sued her for admeasurement of her dowry. In her 27 years of widowhood, Maud brought 33 suits into the central courts; and she herself was sued a total of 44 times. As a result, she was known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century. She endowed many religious houses, including the Benedictine Stoke-by-Clare Priory, Suffolk (re-established in 1124 by Richard de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford having been moved from Clare Castle) and Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, which she re-founded as a nunnery. She also vigorously promoted the clerical career of her son, Bovo, and did much to encourage his ambitions and acquisitiveness. She was largely responsible for many of the benefices that were bestowed on him, which made him the richest churchman of the period. Although not an heiress, Maud herself was most likely the wealthiest widow in 13th century England.
  
  Maud died sometime between 1287 and 10 March 1288/9

  Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March 1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood living off the revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her children. She attempted, with less success, to present her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England, and after his death the countess continued his generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon. Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of Gloucester. In 1284 Maud provided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the idea of doing this for Sandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence, and the dispossessed canons were under royal protection." She was granted several tracts of land to the Clare priory aft husband Richard's death. She promoted careers of her children. She was a heavy contributor toward ecclesiastical foundations. She re-founded (1284) the Augustinian priory of Canonsleigh. in Devon.

   Note: Bio found at Find a Grave- Maud de Lacy was born on 25 Jan 1223 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. She was the daughter of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln and Lord of Pontefract Castle and a Magna Charta Baron (1192-1240) and Margaret de (Quincy) de Lacy, 2nd Countess of Lincoln (1206-1266). Her paternal grandparents were Roger de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract and Maud de Clere, and her maternal grandparents were Robert de Quincy and Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln suo jure. Maud married Richard de Clare (1222-1262) in Lincolnshire County, England on January 25, 1238. Richard was the son of of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford, 5th Earl of Gloucester and made Magna Carta sureties (1180-1230) and Isabel (Marshal) de Clare (1200-1240). Richard and Maud de Clare were the parents of the following known children: Isabel de Clare (1240 – before 1271), married as his second wife, William VII of Montferrat, by whom she had one daughter, Margherita. She was allegedly killed by her husband. Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester (2 September 1243 – 7 December 1295), married firstly Alice de Lusignan of Angouleme by whom he had two daughters; he married secondly Joan of Acre, by whom he had issue. Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond (1245 – 29 August 1287), married Juliana FitzGerald, daughter of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly and Maud de Prendergast, by whom he had issue including Richard de Clare, 1st Lord Clare and Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere. Bovo de Clare, Chancellor of Llandaff (21 July 1248 – 1294). Margaret de Clare (1250 – 1312/1313), married Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall. Their marriage was childless. Rohese de Clare (17 October 1252 – after 1316), married Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron Mowbray, by whom she had issue. Eglantine de Clare (1257 – 1257). Lady Maud de Lacy, Countess of Hertford and Gloucester was an English noblewoman and became known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century as she was involved in numerous litigations and lawsuits. On 15 July 1262, her husband died near Canterbury. Maud designed and commissioned a magnificent tomb for him at Tewkesbury Abbey where he was buried. She also donated the manor of Sydinghowe to the "Priory of Leigh" (i.e. Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, for the soul of Richard, formerly her husband, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford by charter dated to 1280. Maud carefully arranged the marriages of her daughters. She endowed many religious houses, including the Benedictine Stoke-by-Clare Priory, Suffolk and Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, which she re-founded as a nunnery. Although not an heiress, Maud herself was most likely the wealthiest widow in 13th century England. Maud died sometime between 1287 and 10 March 1288/9. Not sure about her burial but her husband was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey in Gloucestershire, England.
