Michael Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1965. p 94:
"Gil bert de Clare, the "Red Earl" of Gloucester and Hertford, was after
Simon de Montfort the single most important figure in the later stages of
the baronial opposition to Henry III. From his father Earl Richard he
inherited not only the great Clare estates and lordships in England,
Wales, and Ireland, but al so a position of leadership among the magnates
of the realm; and he was desti ned to play an even more decisive role in
the civil wars which determined the fate of the struggle between king and
baronage than his father had played in the initial stages of the movement
for reform." From same p 104, 107-108: " The victory at Lewes [over Henry
III, 14 May 1264] marked the high point of S imon de Montfort's fortunes.
Ominously, a number of Simon's supporters desert ed him, including the
Earl of Gloucester. (P) Gilbert's defection proved the decisive factor
in the situation. The chroniclers record a long list of grie vances, and
the chancery records bear at least some of them out. He had beco me
increasingly dissatisfied with Simon's regime and reproached the earl for
his supposed autocratic rule. He was jealous of the position the earl's
so ns held in the government. He quarreled with Simon over the control of
royal ist castles and manors, and the exchange of prisoners. He objected
to the us e of foreign knights in important castles and the failure to
expel all the al iens from court. His support for Simon had not been
unqualified, as the lett er written in the winter of 1263-64 had shown. A
combination of grievances t hus drove him into opposition." From same, p
108-110: "Simon [de Montfort] t ook [Lord] Edward and Henry [III] with
him to the west, and encamped at Heref ord until May 24 [1265]. Attempted
negotiations proved fruitless, for Gilbert had already worked out a plan
with Edward and Roger Mortimer which would sea l Simon's fate. On May 28,
