Welcome To Our Site - Which is the working upgrade to the site of
Brookfieldpublishing Co. (click for link). This site has more capactity,
especially with video. Please use the tabs above and below to find
information.
Our efforts involve Education and History Especially
Involving Our Ancestors. The Magna Charta Barons, the leaders
especially those identified as Kings or Queens, those with
accomplishments during the life of George Washington; these are worthy
of recognition. Their achievements benefit all!
Remember To Respect the Accomplishments of Our Ancestors as our
Descendants May Respect Ours
There are several initial questions:
Why Join A Lineage Society?
How to Join a Lineage Society?
What the Lineage Societies Are Doing?
The taps provide ways to find the pages for the Barons, the Immigrant
Ancestors we are familiar with (including some of their distinguished
ancestors); ways to order sypplies and especially media, including video
and transcribed text.
We hope you enjoy our Site.

for
Gilbert De Clare
The Earl of Hertford's Heir
WURTS’ MAGNA CHARTA provided a brief accounting of the feudal headquarters of some
of the Magna Charta Barons. Some of the castles have been badly damaged. Some have
disappeared entirely. Often we can learn of them through Medieval and Renaissance
accounts, and some of them require the discerning eye of the archeologist. Others await
the evidence brought out with a shovel and pick, by the trained archeological historian.
A portion of the information concerning Surety Baron GILBERT de CLARE is as follows:
GILBERT de CLARE, son of Surety Richard de Clare, and himself a Surety, was born about
the year 1180. In June 1202 he was entrusted with the lands of Harfleur and
Mostrevilliers. He was one of the Barons still opposing the arbitrary proceedings of the
Crown. He championed Louis the Dauphin, fighting at Lincoln under the Baronial banner, and
was taken prisoner by William Marshall, whose daughter he later married. He led an army
against the Welsh in 1228 and captured Morgan Gam, who was released the next year. After
an engagement in Brittany, he died on his return at Penros in that Duchy, 25 October 1230.
His body was conveyed by way of Plymouth and Cranbourn to Tewkesbury. He was buried there
before the High Altar 10 November 1230. He married Isabella, sister of William Marshall,
the Surety, and daughter of William Marshall, the Protector, on 9 October 1217. She died
17 January 1239/40.
Please refer to the Page for Surety Baron Richard de Clare for more information
concerning the Clare family.
Appreciation is expressed to Reed M. W. Wurts, one of the Heralds of the Society for
furnishing the Baron’s Shield on this page.
