Notes:

Gilbert Fitz Richard (c. 1066–c. 1117), was styled de Clare, de Tonbridge, and Lord of Clare. He was a powerful Anglo-Norman baron who was granted the Lordship of Cardigan, in Wales c. 1107–1111.

Life
Gilbert, born before 1066, was the second son and an heir of Richard Fitz Gilbert of Clare and Rohese Giffard.[1] He succeeded to his father's possessions in England in 1088 when his father retired to a monastery;[2] his brother, Roger Fitz Richard, inherited his father's lands in Normandy.[3] That same year he, along with his brother Roger, fortified his castle at Tonbridge against the forces of William Rufus. But his castle was stormed, Gilbert was wounded and taken prisoner.[4] However he and his brother were in attendance on king William Rufus at his death in August 1100.[4] He was with Henry I at his Christmas court at Westminster in 1101.[4]

It has been hinted, by modern historians, that Gilbert, as a part of a baronial conspiracy, played some part in the suspicious death of William II.[5] Frank Barlow points out that no proof has been found he had any part in the king's death or that a conspiracy even existed.[5]

In 1110, King Henry I took Cardigan from Owain ap Cadwgan, son of Cadwgan ap Bleddyn as punishment for a number of crimes including that of the abduction of Nest, wife of Gerald de Windsor.[6] In turn Henry gave the Lordship of Cardigan, including Cardigan Castle to Gilbert Fitz Richard.[7] He founded the Clunic priory at Stoke-by-Clare, Suffolk.[7] Gilbert died in or before 1117.[7][8]

Family
About 1088,[9] Gilbert married Adeliza/Alice de Clermont, daughter of Hugh, Count of Clermont, and Margaret de Ramerupt.[8] Gilbert and Adeliza had at least eight children:

Richard Fitz Gilbert de Clare, d. 1136.[10]
Gilbert Fitz Gilbert de Clare, d. 1148, 1st Earl of Pembroke.[10]
Baldwin Fitz Gilbert de Clare, d. 1154, m. Adeline de Rollos.[11]
Adelize/Alice de Clare, d. 1163, m. (ca. 1105), Aubrey II de Vere, son of Aubrey I de Vere and Beatrice.[12] She had 9 children and in her widowhood was a corrodian at St. Osyth's, Chich, Essex.

“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE PERCY, of Topcliffe, Leconfield, and Nafferton, Yorkshire, son and heir. He married (1st) before 1136 ALICE (or ALIZA, ADELIDA, ADELIDIS) DE TONBRIDGE, daughter of Gilbert Fitz Richard (also styled de Clare and de Tonbridge), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., by Alice, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou [see CLARE 2 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Alan, and two daughters, Maud (wife of William, 3rd Earl of Warwick) and Agnes. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had three illegitimate sons, William, Walter, and Henry, and two illegitimate daughter, Alice (mistress of Henry du Puiset and later wife of Richard de Moreville) and Emma (wife of William Malebisse). He was present at the Court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. He fought for King Stephen at the Battle of the Standard in 1138. He founded Sallay (or Sawley) Abbey in 1148. His wife, Alice, was living in 1148. He witnessed charters of King Henry II to Nostell Priory before July 1157. He married (2nd) in 1164-66 SIBYL DE VALOINES, widow of Robert de Roos, of Helmsley, Yorkshire (died 1162 or 1163), and daughter of Thebaud de Valoines, of Perham. He was probably the founder of Stainfield Priory, Lincolnshire. He was a benefactor of Byland and Fountains Abbeys and Markby and Shde Priories. He gave the church of Topcliffe, Yorkshire to St. Peter's York for the work of repair and building. WILLIAM DE PERCY was living in the year ending at Michaelmas 1170, and almost certainly in that ending at Michaelmas 1175, when Helte de Boisdele owed 100s. in Lincolnshire for the light of 2 knights' fees which he claimed against him. At his death, he was buried at Fountains Abbey. His widow, Sibyl, married (3rd) about 1182 RALPH D'AUBENEY, of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire. RALPH D'AUBENEY died before Michaelmas 1192. His widow, Sibyl, was living in 1212. At her death, she was buried at Nun Appleton Priory, Yorkshire.
