  === Life Sketch ===
  Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere (ca. 1 April 1287 – 22 October 1333/January 1334, disputed) was a Norman-Irish noblewoman, suo jure heiress, and the wife of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere.
  
  She was arrested and subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London for the duration of a year from November 1321 to November 1322, making her the first recorded female prisoner in the Tower's history. She was jailed on account of having ordered an armed assault on Isabella of France, Queen consort of King Edward II of England. Before Margaret had instructed her archers to fire upon Isabella and her escort, she had refused the Queen admittance to Leeds Castle where her husband, Baron Badlesmere held the post of governor, but which was legally the property of Queen Isabella as part of the latter's dowry. Margaret surrendered the castle on 31 October 1321 after it was besieged by the King's forces using ballistas. Edward's capture of Leeds Castle was the catalyst which led to the Despenser War in the Welsh Marches and the north of England.
  
  Upon her release from the Tower, Margaret entered a religious life at the convent house of the Minorite Sisters outside Aldgate. King Edward granted her a stipend to pay for her maintenance.
  
  Margaret was born at an unrecorded place in either Ireland or England on or about 1 April 1287, the youngest child of Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond and Juliana FitzGerald of Offaly, and was a granddaughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester. She had two brothers, Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Thomond, and Richard de Clare, 1st Lord Clare, Lord of Thomond, who was killed at the Battle of Dysert O'Dea in 1318; and an elder sister, Maud, whose first husband was Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford. Margaret had an illegitimate half-brother, Richard. Her parents resided in both Ireland and England throughout their marriage; it has never been established where Juliana was residing at the time of Margaret's birth although the date is known.
  
  Her father died on 29 August 1287, when she was almost five months of age. His cause of death has never been ascertained by historians. Her mother married her second husband, Nicholas Avenel, sometime afterwards, but the exact date of this marriage is not known. Between 11 December 1291 and 16 February 1292, Margaret acquired another stepfather when her mother married her third husband, Adam de Cretynges.
  
  Inheritance
  A series of inquisitions post mortem held in response to writs issued on 10 April 1321 established that Margaret, the wife of Bartholomew de Badlesmere and Maud, wife of Sir Robert de Welle (sisters of Richard de Clare and both aged 30 years and above) were the next heirs of Richard's son Thomas. Thomas' estate included the stewardship of the Forest of Essex, the town and castle at Thomond and numerous other properties in Ireland.
  
  First Marriage
  She married firstly before the year 1303, Gilbert de Umfraville, son of Gilbert de Umfraville, Earl of Angus, and Elizabeth Comyn. Upon their marriage, the Earl of Angus granted Gilbert and Margaret the manors of Hambleton and Market Overton; however, when Gilbert died childless prior to 1307, the manors passed to Margaret.
  
  Second Marriage
  On an unrecorded date earlier than 30 June 1308, when the couple were jointly granted the manor of Bourne, Sussex, Margaret married Bartholomew de Badlesmere, an English soldier and court official who was afterwards created 1st Baron Badlesmere by writ of summons. He had held the post of Governor of Bristol Castle since 1307, and during his life accumulated many renumerative grants and offices. It is feasible that Margaret's marriage to Badlesmere had been arranged by her brother-in-law, Baron Clifford; Badlesmere having been one of Clifford's retainers during the Scottish Wars. Clifford was later killed at the Battle of Bannockburn, where Badlesmere also fought.
  
  Margaret was styled as Baroness Badlesmere on 26 October 1309 (the date her husband was by writ summoned to Parliament by the title of Baron Badlesmere) and henceforth known by that title.
  
  When Margaret was visiting Cheshunt Manor in Hertfordshire in 1319, she was taken hostage by a group of sixty people, both men and women. Her captors demanded a ransom of £100 for her release. She was held prisoner for one night before being rescued on the following day by the King's favourite, Hugh Despenser the Younger. Hugh was married to Margaret's first cousin, Eleanor de Clare, eldest daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester and Joan of Acre and also Eleanor was Edward II's niece. The King ordered the arrest and imprisonment of twenty of Margaret's kidnappers; they all, however, were eventually pardoned.
  
  Issue
  The five children of Margaret and Baron Badlesmere were:
  1. Margery de Badlesmere (1308/1309- 18 October 1363), married before 25 November 1316 William de Ros, 2nd Baron de Ros of Helmsley, by whom she had six children.
  2. Maud de Badlesmere (1310- 24 May 1366), married firstly, Robert FitzPayn; secondly, John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford, by whom she had seven children.
  3. Elizabeth de Badlesmere (1313- 8 June 1356), married firstly in 1316 Sir Edmund Mortimer, eldest son of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville; she married secondly in 1335, William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton and had children by both marriages.
  4. Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere (18 October 1314 – 7 June 1338), married Elizabeth Montagu, but did not have any children by her.
  5. Margaret de Badlesmere (born 1315), married Sir John Tiptoft, 2nd Lord Tiptoft, by whom she had one son, Robert Tiptoft.

Leeds Castle, which had been given tos part of her dower, w as selected to break the journey and the queen sent her marshalo announce her coming. One of the lesser barons, BARTHOLOMEW BADLESMERE, had been mades away at the time. Havin g been put in that post snce the rise of Lancaster to his position of dominance, Badlesmere h ad left instructions tohis wife not to admit anyone who didarry the necessary order. Had h e paused to consider the character of his wife, he woulde qualified his instructions to cover a situation of this kind. Every word in the Englishguage which applies to women of violent d isposition-harridan, virago, beldame-could beo describe his far from fair lady. She was, a s well, a bitter partisan by association and had, it was soon made clear, no regard at all fo r the royal family. She met the queen's official on the lowered drawbridge and with an angry wave of herade hi m begone. 'The queen,' she declared, 'must seek some other lodging. I will not admit anyonet an orde r from my lord.' The marshal, mose rudely taken aback by the attitude of the castellan's wife, demandedhe kn ew he was there in behalf of Isabella of England. That the queen, moreover,s castle and woul d not consider seeking lodging elsewhere. None of this had any effecte ironwilled Lady Badles mere. She reiterated what she hadsaid. How was she to knows demand for admittance came from te queen? In any event, let the queen go where she; she would not spend the night at Leeds. While this argument was in progress, the royal party put in an appearance at the outerican . The madwoman screeched an order to her archers, who has assembled along thes, and the quee n was greeted,not by the usual obsequious compliments and the strewingers along the drawbride , but by a volley of arrows. Six of her party were killed or. Isabella of England, in a sta te of mind beggaring description, turned her horse and There had been some trouble earlier between the queen and this furious beldame. Thisd a st ill more violent tincture to the report of the extraordinary indicent which reached the ear s of the king. Badlesmere himself added fuel to the flames of the royal wrath byg an explana tion, couched in impudent terms, in which he excusedthe action of his wifesing the castle t o the queen. Edward splittered with a decree of anger hehad seldom feltore and decided to ta ke action at once to avenge the affront. The Ordainers, in whose hands rested all authority, seemed little disturbed over thent. La ncaster, with his gift for doing the wrong thing, chose to be stiffly hostile. The queen's i ndignation mounted with each day and hour, so Edward finally decided to take thehment of th e Badlesmere's on his own shoulders. He made an announcementasmuch as his beloved consort ha d been treated with violence and contempt, a generalf all persons between the ages of sixtee n and sixty was called to attend the king in anition against Leeds Castle. It was London which responded with the greatest good will to this summons. Theill the darli ng of the citizens, and the trained bandsturned out in force to avenge the injury which had b een done to her. They kept pace with the mounted knights intheirave a hand in the punishmen t of the castellan and his wife. Badlesmere himself, afterg defended his wife's folly, had b een very careful not to join her in the castle. He had, in fact, gone in great haste to Stow e Park, which was the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln,ephew, which seemed a reasonably safe pla ce. The belligerant chatelaine expectedould come to her support and she defied the royal for ces when they appeared before the. She did not fully understand that dilatory gentleman, Lan caster had come to see thats on the wrong side of things in this instance and he had no inten tion of involving himself. The vrago of Leeds was left to fac e alone the storm she had raise d. The attack launched against the castle was a spirited one, and in a matter of a few dayse g arrison surrendered. The punishment was first vented on the garrison, who beingly of obeyin g orders; the usual procedure in these chivalrous days.

   Note: Due to her dislike of Isabella as well as her own belligerent character, she refused the Queen admittance, and subsequently ordered her archers to fire upon Queen Isabella when she approached the outer barbican. When King Edward heard of the treatment meted out to his consort by Margaret, he sent an expeditionary force to the castle. After a successful assault of the castle, with the King's troops using ballistas, the defenders surrendered, and Margaret was seized and sent to the Tower of London. As a result of Margaret's arrest, Lord Badlesmere joined Lancaster's rebellion and fought in the Battle of Boroughbridge on 16 March 1322.
