BARONY OF CLAVERING OR FITZROGER (II) 1299 1322

JOHN FITZ ROBERT of Costessey Norfolk, afterwards DE CLAVERING (which name 
he assumed), son and heir, aged 44 at the time of his father's death, distinguished 
himself in the French and Scottish wars. He was excused 14 June 1294 from 
attendance on the King in Gascony. He had livery of his father's lands 29 May 1310. 
He was summoned to Parliament from 16 July 1299 to 20 November 1331, by writs 
directed Johanni de Clavering, whereby he is held to have become LORD 
CLAVERING. Subject to his own life (and in the case of the Lordship of Clavering to 
that of his brother Edmund Clavering) he alienated nearly all the estates of the family.

He married, in 1278 (he aged 12, she under 13), Hawise, daughter of Robert DE 
TIBETOT. He died s.p.m. in 1331/2, before 23 January, at Aynhoe, Northants, and 
was buried at Langley, Norfolk, when Warkworth Castle and his other lands in 
Northumberland, passed by grant (1328) of the King to Henry DE PERCY [2nd LORD 
PERCY]. After this date no one was ever summoned to Parliament in right of any 
Barony which may be held to have been created by any of the above writs. His widow 
died 1345, before 14 April. [Complete Peerage III:275, XIV:186, (transcribed by Dave 
Utzinger)]

----------------------

John, 2nd baron, who assumed, by the king's appointment, the surname of Clavering, 
had summons to parliament from 10 April, 1299, to 20 November, 1331. This nobleman 
had distinguished himself, in his father's lifetime, in the French and Scotch wars, and 
was taken prisoner at the battle of Strivelyn. His lordship m. Hawyse, dau. of Robert 
de Tibetot, and had an only dau., Eve, who m. 1st, Ralph de Ufford, 2ndly, Thomas de 
Audley, and 3rdly, Robert Benhale. Lord Clavering, long before his death, being 
doubtful of having male issue, made a feoffment to Stephen de Trafford whereby he 
vested the inheritance of his castle and manor of Warkworth in the said Stephen, with 
other manors, for the intent that he should reconvey them to his lordship for life, with 
remainder to the king and his heirs. In consideration whereof the king granted unto 
the baron and his heirs divers lands and hereditaments, then valued at £400 per 
annum. His lordship d. at his manor of Aynho, in Northamptonshire, in 1332, when 
those great estates, falling to the crown, were divided thus-- Warkworth, and the 
manors in Northumberland, granted to Henry de Perci, are still part of the possessions 
of the ducal family of Northumberland; Aynho and Horsford, in Northamptonshire and 
Norfolk, to Ralph de Neville, and his heirs; Clavering, in Essex, to the deceased lord's 
brother Edmund, for life, and in remainder to the above Ralph Neville and his heirs. In 
this very unjustifiable manner were the descendants of his lordship's youngest brother 
deprived of their fair inheritance. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, 
Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 121, Clavering, Barons Clavering]
