  === Life Sketch ===
  Isabel Marshal (9 October 1200 - 17 January 1240) was a medieval English countess. She was the wife of both Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester and Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (son of King John of England). With the former, she was a great grandmother of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland.
  
  Family
  Born at Pembroke Castle, Isabel was the seventh child, and second daughter, of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare. She had 9 siblings: 4 sisters and 5 brothers, who included the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Earls of Pembroke; each of her brothers dying without a legitimate male heir, thus passing the title on to the next brother in line. Her last brother to hold the title of Earl of Pembroke died without legitimate issue, and the title was passed down through the family of Isabel's younger sister Joan. Her sisters married, respectively, the Earls of Norfolk, Surrey, and Derby; the Lord of Abergavenny and the Lord of Swanscombe.
  
  First marriage
  On her 17th birthday, Isabel was married to Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, who was 20 years her senior, at Tewkesbury Abbey. The marriage was an extremely happy one, despite the age difference, and the couple had six children:
  1. Agnes de Clare (b. 1218)
  2. Amice de Clare (1220-1287), who married the 6th Earl of Devon
  3. Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford (1222-1262)
  4. Isabel de Clare (2 November 1226 - 10 July 1264), who married the Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale; through this daughter, Isabel would be the great grandmother of Robert the Bruce
  5. William de Clare (1228-1258)
  6. Gilbert de Clare (b. 1229), a priest
  
  Isabel's husband Gilbert joined in an expedition to Brittany in 1229, but died 25 October 1230 on his way back to Penrose, in that duchy. His body was conveyed home by way of Plymouth and Cranborne, to Tewkesbury, where he was buried at the abbey.
  
  Second marriage
  Isabel was a young widow, only 30 years old. She had proven childbearing ability and the ability to bear healthy sons; as evidenced by her six young children, three of whom were sons. These were most likely the reasons for both the proposal of marriage from Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, and Isabel's acceptance of it, despite the fact that her husband had been dead for only five months. The two were married on 30 March 1231 at Fawley Church, much to the displeasure of Richard's brother King Henry, who had been arranging a more advantageous match for Richard. Isabel and Richard got along well enough, though Richard had a reputation as a womanizer and is known to have had mistresses during the marriage. They were the parents of four children, three of whom died in the cradle.
  1. John of Cornwall (31 January 1232 - 22 September 1233), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey
  2. Isabella of Cornwall (9 September 1233 - 10 October 1234), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey
  3. Henry of Almain (2 November 1235 - 13 March 1271), murdered by his cousins Guy and Simon de Montfort, buried at Hailes Abbey.
  4. Nicholas of Cornwall (b. & d. 17 January 1240 Berkhamsted Castle), died shortly after birth, buried at Beaulieu Abbey with his mother
  
  Death and burial
  Isabel died of liver failure, contracted while in childbirth, on 17 January 1240, at Berkhamsted Castle. She was 39 years old.
  
  When Isabel was dying she asked to be buried next to her first husband at Tewkesbury Abbey, but Richard had her interred at Beaulieu Abbey, with her infant son, instead. As a pious gesture, however, he sent her heart, in a silver-gilt casket, to Tewkesbury.

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., 4th Earl of Hertford, Lord of Harfleur and Mostrevilliers in Normandy, 1202, son and heir, born about 1180. In 1211 he held 6-1/2 knights fees in Kent of his mother's maritagium. He and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was as one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he and his father were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215, but at this time, he was a party to the negotiations for peace. He had a safe-conduct from the king 9 Nov. 1215, which was repeated 27 March 1216, after the fall of Colchester. He fought on the side of Louis of France at the Battle of Lincoln 19 May 1217, and was taken prisoner by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was afterwards released, and his lands restored. He married 9 October 1217 ISABEL MARSHAL, 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had three sons, Richard, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], William, Knt., and Gilbert, and three daughters, Amice, Agnes, and Isabel. He was recognized as Earl of Gloucester (in his mother's lifetime) in November 1217. In 1217 he gave the manor of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire to Milicent de Cantelowe for life in settlement of her other claims in dower on the estates of her former husband, Amaury, Count of Evreux (Gilbert's 1st cousin). In 1218 Hugh de Vivonne was ordered to give up the Forest of Keynsham to him. In July 1222 he was forbidden to attack the castle of Dinas Powys in Glamorgan. From this time forward he frequently attests royal grants. In 1223 he joined his brother-in-law, the Earl Marshal, in an expedition into Wales. Probably about 1223 he confirmed the grant of Hamo de Blean (alias Crevequer) to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In 1224 the king ordered his bailiffs of Bristol to cause Earl Gilbert to have five tuns of the 40 tuns of wine that he lately took to the king's use in the vill of Bristol at the same market price. He was present in 1225 at the confirmation of Magna Carta by King Henry III. In 1227 he sued William de Similly for the manor of Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, which he claimed as his right. In 1227 he served as witness to the king's charter permitting the removal of the cathedral from Old to New Salisbury and confirming the same rights to the new city as Winchester enjoyed. The same year he supported Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king, with regard to the forest laws and the misgovernment of Hubert de Burgh. The king soon gave way to the barons' threats, and meeting them at Northampton in August, promised them satisfaction of their demands. In Sept. 1227 he was one of the nobles accredited to meet the princes of the Empire at Antwerp. He led an army against the Welsh in 1228 and captured Morgan Gam, who was released the following year. In Feb. 1228 he had a gift of 40 rafters in the wood of Auvour to house himself at Cranborne, Dorset. In 1228 he again led an army against the Welsh and discovered iron, lead, and silver mines in Wales. In Feb. 1230 he and William Earl Marshal were ordered to yield up to the Archdeacon of Llandaff all the possessions of the bishopric which they had taken on the bishop's death. Early in 1230 he crossed over into Brittany with the king, where he served as a commander in the royal army. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Penros in that duchy 25 October 1230, and was buried 11 November 1230 before the high altar at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His funeral was conducted with great state. He left two wills, one dated 30 April 1230, the other 23 October 1230, proved before Michaelmas, 1233. By the terms of his will, he left a gilt silver cross to Tewkesbury Abbey, as well as the wood of Mythe by Severn side during the minority of his son. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) 30 March 1231 (as his 1st wife) RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou [see CORNWALL 6], Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 1240-1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253-4, younger son of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter of Ademar, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, John, Henry, Knt., and Nicholas, and one daughter, Isabel. He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. Richard married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 SANCHE (or SANCHIA) OF PROVENCE, daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) I, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons, one unnamed and Edmund, Knt. [Earl of Cornwall]. In December 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. He was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon in 1244. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to appose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the mint between 1247 and 1258, an office from which he derived considerable profit. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche, died at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walram of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt. He purchased the honour of Trematon, Cornwall in 1270. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Franciscan church at Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar a the Friars Minors, Oxford.

  === Life Sketch ===
  Isabel Marshal (9 October 1200 – 17 January 1240) was a medieval English countess. She was the wife of both Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester and Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (son of King John of England). With the former, she was a great grandmother of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland.
  
  Family
  Born at Pembroke Castle, Isabel was the seventh child, and second daughter, of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare. She had 9 siblings: 4 sisters and 5 brothers, who included the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Earls of Pembroke; each of her brothers dying without a legitimate male heir, thus passing the title on to the next brother in line. Her last brother to hold the title of Earl of Pembroke died without legitimate issue, and the title was passed down through the family of Isabel's younger sister Joan. Her sisters married, respectively, the Earls of Norfolk, Surrey, and Derby; the Lord of Abergavenny and the Lord of Swanscombe.
  
  First marriage
  On her 17th birthday, Isabel was married to Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, who was 20 years her senior, at Tewkesbury Abbey. The marriage was an extremely happy one, despite the age difference, and the couple had six children:
  1. Agnes de Clare (b. 1218)
  2. Amice de Clare (1220–1287), who married the 6th Earl of Devon
  3. Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford (1222–1262)
  4. Isabel de Clare (2 November 1226 – 10 July 1264), who married the Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale; through this daughter, Isabel would be the great grandmother of Robert the Bruce
  5. William de Clare (1228–1258)
  6. Gilbert de Clare (b. 1229), a priest
  
  Isabel's husband Gilbert joined in an expedition to Brittany in 1229, but died 25 October 1230 on his way back to Penrose, in that duchy. His body was conveyed home by way of Plymouth and Cranborne, to Tewkesbury, where he was buried at the abbey.
  
  Second marriage
  Isabel was a young widow, only 30 years old. She had proven childbearing ability and the ability to bear healthy sons; as evidenced by her six young children, three of whom were sons. These were most likely the reasons for both the proposal of marriage from Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, and Isabel's acceptance of it, despite the fact that her husband had been dead for only five months. The two were married on 30 March 1231 at Fawley Church, much to the displeasure of Richard's brother King Henry, who had been arranging a more advantageous match for Richard. Isabel and Richard got along well enough, though Richard had a reputation as a womanizer and is known to have had mistresses during the marriage. They were the parents of four children, three of whom died in the cradle.
  1. John of Cornwall (31 January 1232 – 22 September 1233), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey
  2. Isabella of Cornwall (9 September 1233 – 10 October 1234), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey
  3. Henry of Almain (2 November 1235 – 13 March 1271), murdered by his cousins Guy and Simon de Montfort, buried at Hailes Abbey.
  4. Nicholas of Cornwall (b. & d. 17 January 1240 Berkhamsted Castle), died shortly after birth, buried at Beaulieu Abbey with his mother
  
  Death and burial
  Isabel died of liver failure, contracted while in childbirth, on 17 January 1240, at Berkhamsted Castle. She was 39 years old.
  
  When Isabel was dying she asked to be buried next to her first husband at Tewkesbury Abbey, but Richard had her interred at Beaulieu Abbey, with her infant son, instead. As a pious gesture, however, he sent her heart, in a silver-gilt casket, to Tewkesbury.

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., 4th Earl of Hertford, Lord of Harfleur and Mostrevilliers in Normandy, 1202, son and heir, born about 1180. In 1211 he held 6-1/2 knights fees in Kent of his mother's maritagium. He and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was as one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he and his father were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215, but at this time, he was a party to the negotiations for peace. He had a safe-conduct from the king 9 Nov. 1215, which was repeated 27 March 1216, after the fall of Colchester. He fought on the side of Louis of France at the Battle of Lincoln 19 May 1217, and was taken prisoner by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was afterwards released, and his lands restored. He married 9 October 1217 ISABEL MARSHAL, 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had three sons, Richard, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], William, Knt., and Gilbert, and three daughters, Amice, Agnes, and Isabel. He was recognized as Earl of Gloucester (in his mother's lifetime) in November 1217. In 1217 he gave the manor of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire to Milicent de Cantelowe for life in settlement of her other claims in dower on the estates of her former husband, Amaury, Count of Evreux (Gilbert's 1st cousin). In 1218 Hugh de Vivonne was ordered to give up the Forest of Keynsham to him. In July 1222 he was forbidden to attack the castle of Dinas Powys in Glamorgan. From this time forward he frequently attests royal grants. In 1223 he joined his brother-in-law, the Earl Marshal, in an expedition into Wales. Probably about 1223 he confirmed the grant of Hamo de Blean (alias Crevequer) to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In 1224 the king ordered his bailiffs of Bristol to cause Earl Gilbert to have five tuns of the 40 tuns of wine that he lately took to the king's use in the vill of Bristol at the same market price. He was present in 1225 at the confirmation of Magna Carta by King Henry III. In 1227 he sued William de Similly for the manor of Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, which he claimed as his right. In 1227 he served as witness to the king's charter permitting the removal of the cathedral from Old to New Salisbury and confirming the same rights to the new city as Winchester enjoyed. The same year he supported Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king, with regard to the forest laws and the misgovernment of Hubert de Burgh. The king soon gave way to the barons' threats, and meeting them at Northampton in August, promised them satisfaction of their demands. In Sept. 1227 he was one of the nobles accredited to meet the princes of the Empire at Antwerp. He led an army against the Welsh in 1228 and captured Morgan Gam, who was released the following year. In Feb. 1228 he had a gift of 40 rafters in the wood of Auvour to house himself at Cranborne, Dorset. In 1228 he again led an army against the Welsh and discovered iron, lead, and silver mines in Wales. In Feb. 1230 he and William Earl Marshal were ordered to yield up to the Archdeacon of Llandaff all the possessions of the bishopric which they had taken on the bishop's death. Early in 1230 he crossed over into Brittany with the king, where he served as a commander in the royal army. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Penros in that duchy 25 October 1230, and was buried 11 November 1230 before the high altar at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His funeral was conducted with great state. He left two wills, one dated 30 April 1230, the other 23 October 1230, proved before Michaelmas, 1233. By the terms of his will, he left a gilt silver cross to Tewkesbury Abbey, as well as the wood of Mythe by Severn side during the minority of his son. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) 30 March 1231 (as his 1st wife) RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou [see CORNWALL 6], Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 1240-1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253-4, younger son of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter of Ademar, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, John, Henry, Knt., and Nicholas, and one daughter, Isabel. He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. Richard married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 SANCHE (or SANCHIA) OF PROVENCE, daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) I, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons, one unnamed and Edmund, Knt. [Earl of Cornwall]. In December 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. He was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon in 1244. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to appose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the mint between 1247 and 1258, an office from which he derived considerable profit. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche, died at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walram of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt. He purchased the honour of Trematon, Cornwall in 1270. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Franciscan church at Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar a the Friars Minors, Oxford.
