Narrative
Name Prefix:<NPFX> Sir
Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Gloucester And Hertford "The Red"
6th Earl of Gloucester and Hertford.
From: Gilbert de Clare, http://www.castlewales.com/clare.html
"Richard de Clare's heir, Gilbert (1243-95) - Gilbert "the Red" as he was known after the fiery color of his hair - was to become involved in the turbulent English politics of the 1260s. At the time of his father's death Gilbert was a minor, though he was given possession of the Gloucester estates in 1263. To begin with, Gilbert continued in good terms with his powerful neighbor, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. However, over the next few years a series of military and political events was to completely change this situation; the building of de Clare's masterpiece Caerphilly Castle, can be seen as the last and most dramatic episode in this story."
--------------------------
When Gilbert married Joan of Acre, he gave up the inheritance of all his castles and manors in England and Wales to her father, Edward I, for him to dispose of them as he saw fit. Edward settled them on the issue of the marriage.
Gilbert built Caerphilly Castle, in Glamorgan, which can still be seen and visited.
