2. | ![]() ![]() Notes: Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester (2 Sep 1243 - 7 Dec 1295) was a powerful English noble. He was also known as Gilbert the Red probably because of his hair colour. Gilbert de Clare was born at Christchurch, Hampshire, England, the son of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester, and of Maud de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln, daughter of John de Lacy and Margaret de Quincy. Gilbert inherited his father's estates in 1262. He took on the titles, including Lord of Glamorgan, from 1263. He was a Magna Charta Surety. In April 1264, Gilbert de Clare led the massacre of the Jews at Canterbury, as Simon de Montfort had done in Leicester. On 20 October 1264, Gilbert and his associates were excommunicated by Pope Clement IV, and his lands placed under an interdict. In the following month, by which time they had obtained possession of Gloucester and Bristol, the Earl was proclaimed to be a rebel. On 24 June 1268 he took the Cross at Northampton in repentance and contrition for his past misdeeds. He died at Monmouth Castle on 7 December 1295, and was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, on the left side of his grandfather Gilbert de Clare. His extensive lands were enjoyed by his surviving wife Joan of Acre until her death in 1307. Gilbert married Joan of Acre on 30 Apr 1290 in Westminster Abbey, England. Joan (daughter of Edward I Longshanks Plantagenet and Leanor of Castile) was born about 1272 in Syria; died about 1307. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
