Michael Altschul, *A Baronial Family in Medieval England
: The Clares, 1217-1314*, Baltimore MD (The Johns Hopkins P
ress) 1965, concerning the partition of the de CLARE estate
s after the death of the last Gilbert, p 170-171: "Hugh De
spenser and Eleanor [Gilbert's sister] received the lordshi
p of Glamorgan, the most important of all the Clare holding
s, along with Rotherfield in Sussex and scattered manors i
n Devon and Somerset. In addition, each heir acquired two-
ninths of the liberty of Kilkenny in Ireland, although ther
e is no evidence that any of them every visited it. (P) Th
e death of the countess in the summer of 1320 completed th
e division of the estates among th heirs. Maud probably di
ed on July 2, and the properties she held in dower must hav
e been partitioned shortly thereafter. Each received an eq
ual portion of her third of Kilkenny. The partition of th
e Clare estates has been described as "the most important t
erritorial upheaval of the reign." [Denham-Young *Vita Edwa
rdi Secundi, pp xii-xiii*]"
