=== Life Sketch ===
Philip de Prendergast, Lord of Enniscorthy, Constable of Leinster, [married] Maud de Quincy, a granddaughter of Strongbow, through the latter's illegitimate daughter Basilie de Clare who married Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster.
"granddaughter of Strongbow Kings of Leinster & Thomond"
Source Par Kilkenny and South-east of Ireland Archaeological Society:
""This barony of Duffryn belonged to Maude, the wife of Philip de Prendergast. Earl Strongbow gave his daughter, with the office of Constable and Standard-bearer of Leinster, to Robert de Quincy, who was soon after slain, when these offices were rightly inherited by his only child, Maude, who eventually married Philip de Prendergast ; and it was his wish to hold them which led Raymond le Gros to quarrel with Strongbow.
"We have much to learn yet as to the pedigree of the Pembroke branch of the De Clares. I believe Strongbow to have had more than one legitimate child."

=== Royal Ancestry Biography ===
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“___ DE CLARE, married in 1171 ROBERT DE QUINCY, Constable of Leinster. They had one daughter, Maud. ROBERT DE QUINCY was killed by O'Dempsey and the Irish of Offaly.
Orpen Song of Dermot & the Earl (1892): 285 ("Robert de Quency is not mentioned by Giraldus, though an important personage. From this poem we learn that Strongbow gave him his daughter in marriage [2743], the district of `le Duftir' i.e. the Duffry in Co. Wexford [2748], and the constableship of Leinster [2749]. He was afterwards killed by O'Dempsey and the Irish of Offaly [2408]. He left one daughter, Maud, afterwards married to Philip de Prendergast [2819, see note]. His name appears as a witness to the Foundation Charter from Earl Richard to St. Mary's Abbey, Dunbrody. See Chart. St. Mary’s, Dub., R.S. ii. 154. This would seem to fix the date of this charter, and consequently of Hervey's Charter, to which it refers, in 1172, and not in 1175, as suggested by Mr. Gilbert in the preface; id. p. lxxiii."). C.P. 10 (1945): Appendix H, 100-104 (sub Families of the First and Second Earls of Pembroke).”
2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Bienfaite and Orbec (both in Normandy), Justiciar of Ireland, son and heir, born about 1130. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he refused to acknowledged Richard as earl and took the lordship of Pembroke into his own hands. In Autumn 1167 he came to an agreement with Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster; for the earl's assistance with an army, he could have Eve, Dermot's eldest daughter in marriage and the succession to Leinster. An army was assembled led by Raymond Fitz Gerald (also known as Raymond le Gros) that included Welsh archers; it captured the towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in 1169-70. Richard married at Waterford, Ireland about 26 August 1170 EVE OF LEINSTER daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (also called Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, by Mor, daughter of Muirchertach Ua Tuathail From 1172 onwards, he was styled Earl of Striguil. They had one son, Gilbert [Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1173 he played a critical role in Normandy in defending the castle of Gisors and recapturing Verneuil for the king. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died about 20 April 1176, and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity [Christ Church], Dublin. His widow, Eve, was living in 1187. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, his widow, Eve, as "heres Regis Deremicii,"confirmed to John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors all of her earlier gifts. At her death, she was buried in Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

ii. ALINE DE CLARE, married in 1174 WILLIAM FITZ MAURICE, Baron of Naas, co. Kildare. They had one son, William Fitz Maurice [Baron of Naas]. WILLIAM FITZ MAURICE died before c.September 1199. Jour. Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland 5th Ser. 2 (1892): 194 ("William, the son of Maurice, is stated in the table to have married `Ala, daughter of Strongbow'; but the 'Conquest of Ireland' (Cal. Car. MSS., 296) has it - 'Also the Erie yawe Ellyn his sustir to Wyllam Moryces yldist sone."), chart facing pg. 358. Wright Hist. Works of Giraldus Cambrensis (1905): 183 (ped.), 259 (sub Conquest of Ireland: "Raymond also, to consolidate the union among the English, induced the earl to give his daughter Alina in marriage to William, the eldest son of Maurice Fitzgerald.").

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron.").

Close Roll, 11 Hen. III, pg. 199. This William Fitz William has been hitherto omitted in the received pedigrees, but in a review of the Gormanston Register (English Hist. Review, vol. xxxi (1916), pp. 488-9) I have established his position. His father, William, son of Maurice, who married Alma, daughter of Strongbow, was dead before c. September 1199 (Rot. de Obtalis, 1 John, m. 15, p. 26). The third baron is often called simply 'William, Baron of Nass', hence the confusion, but his patronymic appears in several documents, e.g. Cal. Germanston Register, pp. 154, 200, 204; and Cal. Docs. Ireland, vol. i, p. 448. David Fitz William, fourth Baron of Naas, was his son and heir by `Mahaut de Pontearch' (Matilda de Pont de l'Arche): Cal. Gormanston Register, p. 163.").
