!Magna Charta Surety, 1215. 6th Earl of Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester. [Magna Charta Sureties]
!4th Earl of Hertford; 6th Earl of Clare. In 1196 he gave 1000 marks to the king for livery of the lands of his mother's inheritance, with his proportion of those some time belonging to Giffard, Earl of Buckingham. His name appears in the covenant made between King John and the Barons, and as he did not die until Dec 30, 1218, and there being no other prominent man of his name, it is very likely that he was the Surety named. He was buried either at Clare, or in the middle of the choir of the priory of Tunbridge, which he founded. [Magna Charta Barons, p. 87, 221]
