  “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.

Assoc. 26 (1870): 149-160 ("The first of the Clares who wrote himself Earl of Hertford is said to have been Richard, eldest son of Gilbert de Tonbridge, by his wife Adeliza, who is stated by Guillaume de Jumièges to have been the daughter of a Comte de Clermont ... It would be desirable to affiliate this wife of Gilbert more distinctly, by showing which of the Counts of Clermont was her father. According to Père Anselme (Hist. Généalogique) she was the daughter of Hugh, first Comte de Clermont en Beauvaisis, by his wife Marguerite de Rouey, daughter of Hildouin, fourth Comte de Rouey, and Alex. de Chastillon; but though he states this in the genealogy of Clare, he gives no such daughter to Count Hugh in that of Clermont, naming only three daughters, - 1, Ermentrude, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester; 2, Richilde, wife of Dreux, second Seigneur de Mello; and 3, Emma, wife of Matthieu, first Comte de Beaumont sur l'Oise. The fact of her parentage depends, therefore, at present on the statement of Guillaume de Jumièges, and the authenticity of a note appended to her charter in the Register of Thorney Abbey, and thus printed by Dugdale: `Adelicia de Claramonte dicta (folio 11, cap. 9, parte 4).' The charter itself commences thus: `Adeliz mater Comitis Gilberti omnibus amicis et hominibus suis Francie et Anglie salutem,' etc.; and ends with `Sciendum est anterior hæc esse facta coram Comite Gilberti et Waltero frater ejus.").

  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.

  Dates don't match her husband's. She couldn't have married him long after he was dead. She seems to have been born around 100 years after he was.
