Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

Co-heiress with her two sisters of her brother Gilbert.
They split the lands worth some L6000 gross, between them.
Rec'd Glamorgan & other scattered estates.
Concerning the partition of the de CLARE estates after the
death of the last Gilbert, p 170-171: "Hugh Despenser and
Eleanor [Gilbert's sister] received the lordship of Glamorgan,
the most important of all the Clare holdings, along with
Rotherfield in Sussex and scattered manors in Devon and
Somerset. In addition, each heir acquired two-ninths of the
liberty of Kilkenny in Ireland, although there is no evidence
that any of them every visited it. (P) The death of the
countess in the summer of 1320 completed the division of the
estates among th heirs. Maud probably died on July 2, and the
properties she held in dower must have been partitioned shortly
thereafter. Each received an equal portion of her third of
Kilkenny. The partition of the Clare estates has been
described as "the most important territorial upheaval of the
reign." [Denham-Young *Vita Edwardi Secundi, pp xii-xiii*]"
