---------------------------------

Richard de Clare first bore the title of Earl of Hertford and, being one of those who, by power of the sword, entered Wales, there planted himself and became lord of vast territories as also of divers castles in those parts, but requiring other matters of moment from the king, in which he was unsuccessful, he reared the standard of revolt and soon after fell in an engagement with the Welsh. His lordship in 1124 removed the monks out of his castle at Clare into the church of St. Augustine at Stoke, and bestowed upon them a little wood, called Stoke-Ho, with a doe every year out of his part at Hunedene. He m. Alice, sister of Ranulph, 2nd Earl of Chester, and had issue, Gilbert, his successor, with two other sons, and a dau. Alice who m. Cadwalader-ap-Griffith, Prince of North Wales. His lordship d. 1139 and was s. by his eldest son, Gilbert de Clare, 2nd Earl of Hertford.
