Michael Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press, B altimore, 1965.
From same, p 92: "On July 15, 1262, the day after the king sa iled 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
mo nths before his death, and rumors circulated that he had been poisoned.
[Footn ote by Altschul: "E.g., Dunstable, p. 219' *Annales Cambriae*, pp.
99-100, w here "Gilbert" is wrongly given for "Richard." These chronicles
have probabl y 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
mov ement which began in the summer of 1258 or thereabouts (p 82-87), but
appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87).
