“ROGER DE CLIFFORD, Knt., of Tenbury and Severn Stoke, Worcestershire, Bridge Sollers and Eardisley, Herefordshire, etc., Constable of Hereford Castle, 1263, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1263, Sheriff of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, Justiciar of Wales, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1265-70, son and heir, born about 1221 (of full age on 1 April 1242). He was made a ward of his uncle, Walter de Clifford, in 1231.
He married (1st) before 1242 MAUD ___, widow of Hugh de Goumay.
They had one son,
1. Roger.
In 1245 he was ordered to remain with John le Strange in the Matches at Montgomery for its defence. In 1246 he was granted £30 per annum for his services. He accompanied Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester on a pilgrimage in 1248. In 1249 he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Tenbury, Worcestershire and free-warren in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He accompanied Queen Eleanor to Gascony in 1254. In 1256 he had license to hunt the hare, fox, and cat, with his own dogs, in the forests of Gloucester, Worcestershire, and Shropshire. He fought in Wales in 1258. He was beyond seas with Prince Edward in 1260. In 1261 he and others were involved in a cause with the executors of William de Tregoz and Alan de Ardene. He joined the Barons under de Montfort in 1263. In 1263 Roger de Clifford, John Giffard of Brimpsfield, and other local dissidents successfully laid siege to Gloucester Castle in an attempt to remove the French knight Mari de Bezille from his office as county sheriff. The castle was later garrisoned for the Crown by Roger de Clifford who, having returned to his allegiance, was given custody of it at the end of 1263. In Feb. 1264 he was ordered to fortify and hold the bridge at Gloucester, while all other bridges on the Severn were to be destroyed. In 1264 he played a prominent part in the Siege of Nottingham, where he took Simon de Montfort the younger as prisoner. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264; he was among those who were released on condition of appearing in parliament when summoned. He fought for the king at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. In recognition of his services, the king released him from a debt of £399 17s. and granted him lands in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1270 he accompanied Prince Edward on Crusade to the Holy Land.
He married (2nd) at St.-Georges d'Espéranche, France (a Savoy fief) in June 1273 COUNTESS (or COMTESSE) ___, Countess of Loreto, possibly the widow of Conrad of Antioch, Count of Loreto (living 1268).
By an uncertain wife, he had one daughter,
1. Alice.
In 1273 he wrote to Walter de Merton, Chancellor, regarding his suit concerning Glasbury, Radnorshire. In the period, 1274-76, he was granted license by the king to alienate land at Tenbury, Worcestershire to a house of Fontevrault. In 1276-7 William de Berkeroles and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He was ordered by Pope Gregory X to pay 300 marks to the Dean and Canons of Hereford for his "confessions;" in 1277 he granted the canons his manors of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire and Tenbury, Worcestershire as security for payment. In 1277-8 Nicholas de Sifrewast arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Bridge, Herefordshire. In 1278 the king ordered that "Contissa, countess of Lorett[o]," wife of Roger de Clifford, have ten oaks for timber. In 1279 the king ordered that "Contesse Loretti," wife of Roger de Clifford, have ten oak-trunks for fuel from the forest of Kynefar. In 1280-81 Richard de Kynardesleye arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching a mill in Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1282 he was granted custody of the lands and tenements of Mold, Cheshire and Hawarden, Flintshire, late of Robert de Mohaut, deceased, during the minority of the heirs of the said Robert. In 1282 David ap Gruffudd suddenly surprised Hawarden Castle, Flintshire, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger as a prisoner into the hills. In 1284 Roger settled the manor of Severn Stoke, Worcestershire on himself and his wife, with remainder to his grandson, Roger de Clifford, a younger son of Roger Clifford, junior.
SIR ROGER DE CLIFFORD died shortly before 3 April 1286. He left a will dated 26 October 1284, proved in 1286, requesting burial in the church of Dore. He mentioned his wife (not named) and his daughter, Alice.
In 1282 the king ordered that the escheator on this side Trent not meddle with the robes, jewels, beds or other thing which pertain to the "countess of Lerett," late the wife of Roger de Clifford. In 1286 Roger, Vicar of Tenbury, was sued in the Exchequer by William Barrett, Chamberlain of London, and another for 12 marks which Sir Roger de Clifford, being deceased, owed the plaintiffs. In 1290 Cuntassa, late the wife of Roger of Clifford, requested the king's grace, stating that she has been grievously distrained by the sheriffs for various debts of her husband, but that she is not his heir, and only holds what the king has granted to her for life, and is unable to render the debts. In 1292 his widow was summoned by writ of Quo Warranto to satisfy the king whether she claimed to have free warren and hold pleas of the Crown in her manor of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1293 Countess, late the wife of Roger de Clifford the elder, was granted protection for two years, she then going beyond seas. In 1295 she was granted protection for an additional year, she staying beyond seas. In April 1298 the king again granted the "countess of Loreto" letters of protection, she then staying beyond seas.
Following her death, Countess was buried in Worcester Cathedral 29 Nov. 1301.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Roger de Clifford (died 1286), of Tenbury, co. Worcester, Justiciar of Wales, Justice of the Forest South of Trent, is in the ancestry of an enormous number of colonial immigrants. He was born about 1221, being the son and heir of an earlier Roger de Clifford, of Tenbury, by his wife, Sibyl, daughter and heiress of Robert de Ewyas, of Ewyas Harold.
Many authorities state that Roger de Clifford's first wife (and mother of his son and heir) was Hawise, widow of John Botreaux, whose marriage was acquired for his use by his father in 1230. However, Hawise instead married before 1231 Nicholas de Moels, by whom she had issue.
Dugdale gives a long biography of Roger de Clifford's useful career but gives no hint as to his first wife's identity. Recently, however, David J.H. Clifford published an article entitled "The Mapledurham Connection", in the Genealogists' Magazine in September 1990 (vol.23,
no 7), in which he identified Roger de Clifford's first wife as Maud, widow of Hugh de Gournay, of Mapledurham, co. Oxford and Wendover, co. Buckingham. While the evidence for Roger's marriage to Maud de Gournay provided in this article was slight, it was certainly convincing.
Interestingly, this past month I encountered an abstract of a lawsuit which provides concrete evidence to prove the given name of Roger de Clifford's wife, Maud. The abstract of this lawsuit is found in Curia Regis Rolls, vol. 18 (1999), pp. 79, 217, a copy of which reads as follows:
Trinity Term, 27 Henry III (1242). 418. Northampton.
Rogerus de Clifford' et Matillis uxor ejus per attornatum ipsius Matillidis per breve domini regis nunc optulerunt se quarto die versus Cristianam Ledet de placito averiorum Rogeri et Matillidis captorum et injuste detentorum etc.; et Cristiana non venit etc., et habuit diem
per essoniatorem suum ad hunc diem. Judicium. Attachietur quod sit in octabis sancti Michaelis, quia alium diem etc.
27-28 Henry III (1243-1244).
1050. Northampton. Rogerus de Cliford' et Matillis uxor ejus per attornatum suum optulerunt se iiij. die versus Cristianam Leydet de placito averiorum ipsius Rogeri et Matillidis captorum et injuste detentorum etc.; et Cristiana non venit etc., et plures fecit defaltas etc. Et ideo preceptum est vicecomiti quod distringat eam per terras etc., ita quod habeat corpus ejus in octabis sancte Trinitatis etc.
I'm uncertain why Roger de Clifford and his wife, Maud, were suing Christian Ledet in Northamptonshire. Perhaps someone can provide a translation of the Latin text for the newsgroup. Without checking a Latin dictionary, I'm uncertain what a plea of "averiorum" is.

________________________
Roger de Clifford (d 1285?), soldier and judge, was the son of Roger de Clifford of Tenbury, second son of Walter de Clifford, borhter of Fair Rosamond, by Sybil, daughter of Robert de Ewyas, and relict first of Robert, lord Tregoz, and then of William de Newmarch, He was a minor at the date of his father's death (1231?). In 1259 he was among the suite of Henry III in France during the negotiations for the treaty of peace which was concluded in that year with Louis IX. Three years later suspicions of his loyalty were aroused by a letter which, as representing the marcher barons, he sent to the king urging upon him the observance of hte provisions of Oxford, and he was forbidden to joust or appear in arms, particularly during the king's absence overseas, without a royal license. The affect of this injunction was, however, neutralised by a commission issued almost simultaneously and doubtless at the instance of de Montfort, by which he was place in command of the royal castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough. In 1263 he joined the insurgent barons under de Montfort, ravaging the Welsh marches with Roger de Leybourne and taking Hereford and Bristol, and was excommunicated. The following year he returned to his allegiance and played a prominent part in the siege of Nottingham, taking prisoner Simon de Montfort the younger. He was rewarded with the command of the castle of Gloucester and the shrievalty of the county, and with the post of justice of the royal forests south of the Trent. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Lewes, but was among those who were released on condition of appearing in parliament when summoned. The liberty thus gained he employed in raising an army for the king in the Welsh marches, and with Roger de Mortimer succeeded in reducing Gloucester, Bridgnorth, and Marlborough. Cited by the parliament to give an account of his conduct and failing to appear, he was declared an exile. In the spring of 1265 the timely appearance of a force under the joint command of Clifford and Roger de Leybourne prevented the recapture of Prince Edward, then a fugitive from the caste of Hereford. Clifford also greatly distinguished himself at the battle of Evesham in August of the same year; it was to him that John Fitz-John, one of the few English supporters of de Montfort, who left the field alive, owed his preservation. In recognition of his services the king released him from debt of 399l, 17s, granted him very extensive estates in Warwickshire and Leicestershire, and put him in possession jointly with Roger de Leybourne, of certain estates in Westmoreland which had belonged to Robert de Vipont. Clifford obtained (1269-70) the hand of Isabella, Vipont's elder daughter and coheiress, for his son Roger, and Leybourne married her younger sister Idonea. There is evidence, however, that Clifford and Leybourne soon began to quarrel about their respective shares of the property. In 1270 Clifford joined the crusade under Prince Edward, his son Roger being temporarily substituted for him as justice of the forests, and he was one of the executors of the will made by the prince at Acre in 1272, and a witness to the contract executed by Edward at Sordmac in Gascony in the following year, by which he agreed to marry his eldest daughter to the eldest son of Peter of Arragon. It was probably the same year that Clifford married in France a lady who is described by Dugdale as the Countess of Laurentania. The lady died in 1301, and was buried in Worcester Cathedral. Clifford's first wife was prbably Hawyse or Avicia, daughter of John Boterall, a grant of whose hand his father had obtained from the king in 1230. On his return to England in 1274 he was at once sent with William de Beauchamp into Wales with a commission to examine into the state of the border and to exact reparation for breaches of the peace. In the autumn of 1275 he was again in France, being commissioned to explain to Philip Edward's reason for refusing to act as arbitrator in a dispute between the Duke of Burgundy and the Count of Nivernois, which it was desired to refer to him. We find him appointed governor of Erdesleigh in Herefordshire in the following year, and justice of Wales in 1279, being invested, as we gather from Rishanger, with a jurisdiction extending over the whole of that county. On the outbreak of the last Welsh inssurection he was surprised by David, brother of Llewelyn, in Hawarden Castle on Palm Sunday (22 Mar 1281/2), the garrison being put to the sword, and taken prisioner, though not before he had been severely (according to one chronicler mortally) wounded. he was carried to Snowdon, In the war which followed his son Roger was drowned on St Leornard's day (8 Nov 1282) while crossing a bridge of boats over the Menai Straits, a sudden attack of the Welsh having thrown the English forces into confusion. Clifford probably died about 1285. His estage being in debt to the crown, execution was issued on his goods in 1286, the jewels of his widow the countess being exempted by writ. Before his death he had made over to the city of London certain property which he held in the Jawry. [Dictionary of National Biography IV:528-9]

Succeeded his father as Lord of the Manors of Tenbury and Bruges (but still only a minor). In 1250, he accompanied Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St James at Compostella in Spain. In 1255, he was made Lord of Mapledurham in Oxfordshire. In 1262, he was forbidden to joust or appear in arms because of his part in urging the King to observe the Oxford Provisions. At the same time, he was placed in command of the royal castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough. He participated in the 1264-8 Barons' war against Henry III, but reverted to the King, leaving the other Barons to take the consequences. Following the capture of Henry III and Prince Edward by Simon De Montfort in May 1264, Roger Clifford and his friend, Roger de Leybourne, engineered the Prince's escape from Hereford Castle. They fought for the Prince at Evesham and librated the King. Roger was granted custody of all the forests south of the Trent, estates in Warwickshire and Leicestershire, as well as the wardship, and married one of the two Vipont sisters for his son. He was granted manor of Birmingham in 1266, and in 1270? he went on crusade with Prince Edward. On their return, the (now) King Edward I appointed him sole Justiciar of Wales to bring the Welsh under English law. Roger set about it with severity and, in 1282, David, brother of Prince Llywelyn, led a rising in which Roger Clifford was wounded and taken prisoner. He was liberated, but died in or around 1285 from his wounds.
