Source: A Baronial Family in Medievil England: The Clares,
1217-1314, Michael Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press,
Baltimore, 1965.

From same, p 92: "On July 15, 1262, the day after the king
sailed to
France, Earl Richard de Clare died. Two weeks later he was
buried at
Tewkesbury Abbey. The earl had not played a conspicuous role in
the baronial
movement since the settlement of 1261; he had been in ill
health for some
months before his death, and rumors circulated that he had been
poisoned.
[Footnote by Altschul: "E.g., Dunstable, p. 219' *Annales
Cambriae*, pp. 99-100, where "Gilbert" is wrongly given for
"Richard." These chronicles have probably confused the earl's
natural death with the alleged poison plot of 1258."]" [Was
Richard maybe poisoned at the instigation of Simon de Montfort
or some of his allies?] Henry had settled with the rebellious
barons in 1261 (p 92). Richard de Clare had at first sided with
the barons in the antiroyalist
movement which began in the summer of 1258 or thereabouts (p
82-87), but
appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258
(p 87).
