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.

  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.
