Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford, 5th Earl of Gloucester, 1st Lord of Glamorgan, 
7th Lord of Clare (1180 – 25 October 1230) was the son of Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl 
of Hertford (c.?1153–1217), from whom he inherited the Clare estates. He also 
inherited from his mother, Amice Fitz William, the estates of Gloucester and the honour 
of St. Hilary, and from Rohese, an ancestor, the moiety of the Giffard estates. In June 
1202, he was entrusted with the lands of Harfleur and Montrevillers.[1]
Life[edit]

In 1215 Gilbert and his father were two of the barons made Magna Carta sureties and 
championed Louis "le Dauphin" of France in the First Barons' War, fighting at Lincoln 
under the baronial banner. He was taken prisoner in 1217 by William Marshal, whose 
daughter Isabel he later married on 9 October, her 17th birthday. In 1223 he 
accompanied his brother-in-law, Earl Marshal, in an expedition into Wales. In 1225 he 
was present at the confirmation of the Magna Carta by Henry III. In 1228 he led an 
army against the Welsh, capturing Morgan Gam, who was released the next year. He 
then joined in an expedition to Brittany, but died on his way back to Penrose in that 
duchy. His body was conveyed home by way of Plymouth and Cranborne to 
Tewkesbury. His widow Isabel later married Richard Plantagenet, Earl of Cornwall & 
King of the Romans. His own arms were: Or, three chevronels gules.
