  === Life Sketch ===
  Thomas de Clare, 1st Lord of Thomond, 1st Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal (1244x1247 – 29 August 1287) was a Hiberno-Norman peer and soldier. He was the second son of Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester and his wife Maud de Lacy, Countess of Gloucester. In 1272 he served a term as Lieutenant of the Duchy of Aquitaine. On 26 January 1276 he was granted the Lordship of Thomond by Edward I of England; he spent the next eight years attempting to conquer it from the O'Brien dynasty, kings of Thomond.
  Thomas was born in about 1245 in Tonbridge, Kent, England, the second eldest son of Richard de Clare and Maud de Lacy. He and his brother Bogo received gifts from King Henry III when they were studying at Oxford from 1257–59. Thomas was a close friend and intimate advisor of Prince Edward of England, who would in 1272 accede to the throne as King Edward I. Together they took part in the Ninth Crusade. He held many important posts such as Governor of Colchester Castle (1266) and Governor of The City of London (1273). He was made Commander of the English forces in Munster, Ireland and created Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal. On 26 January 1276, he was granted the entire lordship of Thomond by King Edward.
  That same year, he jointly commanded a Norman army along with Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, Justiciar of Ireland against the Irish clans of County Wicklow. They were joined by a contingent of men from Connacht led by his father-in-law Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly. Thomas and Justiciar de Geneville's forces attacked the Irish at Glenmalure, but they were soundly defeated and suffered severe losses.
  Civil War in Thomond
  Civil war raged in Thomond between the rival factions of the O'Brien dynasty. In 1276, Brian Ruad, the deposed King of Thomond appealed to Thomas for support to help him regain his kingdom from his great-nephew Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O' Brien, who had usurped the throne. In return for his aid, Brian Ruad promised that Thomas would be allowed to colonise all the land between Athsollus in Quin and Limerick. Together, Thomas and Brian Ruad expelled Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O'Brien and recaptured Clonroad which the latter had taken from Brian Ruad. O'Brien escaped to Galway where he elicited the help of his cousin William de Burgh, and in 1277 together with the assistance from clans, MacNamara and O'Dea they defeated the combined forces of Thomas and Brian Ruad. The latter fled to Bunratty Castle, but Thomas had his former ally hanged and drawn for treason. The civil war continued for the next seven years, with Thomas supporting Brian Ruad's son Donnchad against Toirrdelbach; however, following the drowning death of Donnchad in 1284, Toirrdelbach emerged the victor. Thereafter until his death in 1306, Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O'Brien ruled as undisputed King of Thomond and Thomas had no choice but to accommodate him. O'Brien rented part of Bunratty Manor at £121 per annum. In 1280, Thomas embarked on a castle-building project at Quin, but was disrupted in his efforts by the O'Briens and MacNamaras. Thomas also reconstructed Bunratty Castle in stone, replacing the earlier wooden building.
  
  Marriage and children
  In February 1275, he married Juliana FitzGerald, the 12-year-old daughter of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly and Maud de Prendergast. During their marriage, Thomas and Juliana lived in Ireland and in England. For instance, on 5 May 1284 the King notified his bailiffs and lieges in Ireland of the attorneys who were to act in Ireland on behalf of the couple as they were then in England. This arrangement was to continue for three years, except when Thomas and Juliana went to Ireland.
  
  Thomas and Juliana had four children:
  1. Maud de Clare (1276–1327), married firstly, Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, by whom she had issue; and secondly Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron Welles.
  2. Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Thomond, (3 February 1281 – 1308)
  3. Richard de Clare, Steward of Forest of Essex, 1st Lord Clare, Lord of Thomond (after 1281 – 10 May 1318), married a woman by the name of Joan, by whom he had one son, Thomas. He was killed at the Battle of Dysert O'Dea.
  4. Margaret de Clare (c. 1 April 1287 – 22 October 1333/3 January 1334), married firstly, Gilbert de Umfraville; and secondly Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, by whom she had issue.
  
  Death
  When evidence was taken in 1302 to prove the age of his son Gilbert, it was established that Thomas had died on 29 August 1287. A mid-18th century compilation known as the Dublin Annals of Inisfallen states that Thomas was killed in battle against Turlough son of Teige and others. However, none of the earlier records of his death indicate that Thomas met a violent end. Some of the witnesses to Gilbert's age in 1302 referred to the date of Thomas' death in their calculations but all were silent as to its circumstances. This and much other evidence on the subject has been set out and evaluated by Goddard Henry Orpen of Trinity College, Dublin. Thomas was succeeded as Lord of Thomond by his eldest son, Gilbert who was six years old. His widow Juliana, aged 24 years, would go on to marry two more times.

  Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage: Volume 5: Gloucester
  http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/cp/gloucester.shtml (Oct 8, 2003).
  
  Volume 5, page 700, note h (on p.701):
  Besides his son and successor in title, Gilbert, the Earl [Richard de Clare, d. 1262] had two sons: (1) Thomas de Clare, who had a public career and was a friend of Prince Edward, with whom he went on a Crusade (Annales Mon., vol. ii, p. 109). ... He d. in Ireland in Feb. 1287/8 (Annales Mon., vol. iv, p. 314; the extent of his lands is in Cal. Inq. p.m., vol. ii, p. 696), leaving a son and heir Thomas (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1292-1301, p. 81), and a son Richard, a clerk (Cal. Papal Letters, vol. ii, p. 12 &c.).
  
  Thomas de Clare married Julian, daughter and heir of Sir Maurice FitzMaurice, before 18 February 1274/5 [Cal. Documents Ireland, vol. 3, no 1142]. He was lord of Thomond in Connaught, and died 29 August 1287 (not February 1287/8). His wife Julian remarried, between 11 December 1291 and 16 February 1291/2, to Adam de Creting [Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1281-1292, pp. 463, 476; Calendar of Documents relating to Ireland, vol. 3, no 1142]. He was succeeded by his son Gilbert (not Thomas), and afterwards his son Richard. Richard's son Thomas was succeeded in April 1321 by his aunts (Richard's sisters), Margaret, the wife of Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere, and Maud, the wife of Sir Robert de Welle [Cal. Inq. p.m., vol. 6, no 275]. Thomas de Clare's other son Richard, the clerk, was presumably illegitimate, as he did not succeed to the estates despite apparently surviving until at least 1331 [Cal. Papal Letters, vol. 2, p.326; see below].
  
  The identification of Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond, as a younger son of Richard, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [d. 1262], was removed in Complete Peerage, volume 14, in the articles on Badlesmere and Clare. Nevertheless, this identification is commonly assumed by historians and editors (and in several other volumes of the Complete Peerage; for example, the extent of lands referred to above is that of the lord of Thomond). This identification does appear to be justified by record evidence:
  
  The reference to Thomas de Clare leaving a son and heir Thomas is also an error. In the reference cited above [Cal. Patent Rolls, 1292-1301, p. 81], the son and heir is named as Gilbert, not Thomas. Richard de Clare the clerk, son of Thomas de Clare, was said to be aged about 20 in 1306 [Cal. Papal Letters, vol. 2, p. 12]. In 1314, Thomas de Clare's other son Richard granted to him for life the manor of Plashes, in Standon, Hertfordshire [Victoria County History Hertforshire, vol. 3, p.355, citing Duchy of Lancaster Deeds, L1282]. Richard seems to have been still living in or shortly before 1331, when he was ordered to be removed from a canonry of Dublin and the prebend of Swords [Cal. Papal Letters, vol. 2, p. 326]. Despite this, Thomas de Clare's daughters had been returned as the heirs of their nephew Thomas de Clare in 1321 [Cal. Inq. p.m., vol. 6, no 275]. So Richard the clerk was presumably an illegitimate son (he could not have been a half-brother of Thomas's other son Richard, as there is no doubt that Thomas was married to Julian at the times of both their births).
  
  [The inconsistencies concerning the identity of Thomas de Clare, lord of Thomond, were raised by Dave Utzinger in November 2001. Douglas Richardson pointed out his identity with Earl Richard's son, based on the evidence of the Despenser-Badlesmere consanguinity and the descent of the manor of Plashes, in March 2002. Further contributions were made by John P. Ravilious, Adrian Channing and Cris Nash.]
  
  In 1284 Thomas de Clare, described as the brother of the Earl of Gloucester, made a recognizance to several merchants of Lucca for a loan of £409, and they were to hold his manor called Agni in the county of Limerick until it was repaid [Cal. Documents Ireland, vol. 2, no 2312]. Presumably this is the same as the manor of "Any" which appears in the extents of the lands of Thomas de Clare of Thomond, taken in 1287 [Cal. Inq. p.m., vol. 2, no 696]. In 1306, a papal dispensation was issued to Richard de Clare, who had held the churches of Boureth and Yothel in the dioceses of Killaloe and Cloyne. Richard was identified as the son of Thomas de Clare, son of the Earl of Gloucester, and the dispensation was granted at the request of Richard's aunt, Margaret de Clara, Countess of Cornwall [Cal. Papal
  Letters, vol. 2, p. 12]. The places mentioned are indexed as Bunratty and Youghal, and the advowsons of both these places are included in the extent of the lands of Thomas de Clare of Thomond [Cal. Inq. p.m., vol. 2, no 696]. Margaret de Clare, the divorced wife of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, was a daughter of Richard, Earl of Gloucester [Complete Peerage, vol. 3, p.433].
  
  A papal mandate, dated 1341, to grant a dispensation to remain married, to Hugh le Despenser, Lord of Tewkesbury, and his wife Elizabeth Montague, stated that Hugh was related to Elizabeth's former husband, Giles de Badlesmere, in the third degree [Cal. Papal Letters, vol.2, p.553]. The relationship is explained thus: Hugh's maternal grandfather was Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [son of Earl Richard, d.1262; Complete Peerage, vol. 4, pp.269-273], and Giles's maternal grandfather was Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond [Gilbert's brother; Complete Peerage, vol. 1, p.372].
