Burial29 July 1262He was buried on 29 July 1262 at Interred or buried in the cemetery at the Abbey of TewkesburyG in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England (Medieval), EuropeG. Source: A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares, 1217-1314, Michael Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1965. From p 92:

"On July 15, 1262, the day after the king sailed 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 months before his death, and rumors circulated that he had been poisoned. [Footnote by Altschul: "E.g., Dunstable, p. 219' *Annales Cambriae*, pp. 99-100, where "Gilbert" is wrongly given for "Richard." These chronicles have probably 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sided with the barons in the movement which began in the summer of 1258 or thereabouts (p 82-87), but appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87). He Kilkenny Acceded: 1243. 6th Earl of Hertford. He and Meggotta de Burgh married clandestinely & were very much in love by all accounts. He was 2nd Earl of Gloucester. Lord of Usk, Kilkenny. He wanted the Oxford Provisions to apply to the King only, not to the Barons. He appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258. He founded (1248) Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England. He was in 1252 sent to Scotland to check the imprisonment of Margaret, Henry III's daughter. He in May 1252 spoke for non-censure of Simon de Montfort at latter's Gascony trial. In Jul 1258 he became sicken after the banquet thrown by defeated de Lusignans.
NoteRichard was the most powerful English noble of his time

Born August 4th, 1222 to Isabel Marshal and Gilbert de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford and 6th Earl of Clare, he was the 5th Earl of Gloucester, the 6th Earl of Hertford and the 7th and 8th Earl and Lord of Clare, inheriting these titles of Hertford and Gloucester from the death of his father in October 1230. He went on to hold estates in more than 20 English counties, including the lordship of Tewkesbury, wealthy manors in Gloucester, and the great marcher lordship of Glamorgan. He acquired the Kilkenny estates in Ireland and the lordship of Usk and Caerleon in south Wales, making him the greatest lord in south Wales; in Glamorgan, especially, he was almost an independent prince

As he was just an 8-year old child at the time of his fathers' death, he was made the ward of Hubert de Burgh. In 1243, he secretly married Hubert's daughter, Margaret; King Henry III frowned upon this marriage, and they were later divorced

Richard refused to help King Henry III on the French expedition of 1253 but was with him afterward at Paris. Thereafter he went on a diplomatic errand to Scotland and was sent to Germany to work among the princes for the election of his stepfather, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, as king of the Romans

About 1258 Gloucester became a leader of the barons in their resistance to the king, and Richard was prominent during the proceedings that followed the Mad Parliament at Oxford in 1258. In 1259, however, he quarreled with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester; the dispute, begun in England, was renewed in France, and he was again in the confidence of the king. This attitude, too, was only temporary, and in 1261 Gloucester and Montfort were again working in concord

Richard was an important member of Henry III's court. There were at least two attempts on Richard's life. The first occurred when his chief steward, Walter de Scotenay, poisoned Richard and his brother, William. William died but Richard survived despite losing all of his hair and his fingernails

The second attempt succeeded on July 14, 1262. Richard, Baldwin, the Earl of Devon, and others were poisoned at the table of Peter de Savoy

----------
5th Earl of Gloucester. Royal servant. He succeeded his father Gilbert de Clare in 1230 at the age of eight; through his mother he inherited a share of William Marshal's estates, including Kilkenny in Ireland. Matthew Paris criticized his "base avarice" but praised his eloquence and knowledge of law. His rank, wealth and ability meant he was often employed on embassies abroad, perhaps the most delicate being when sent to Edinburgh in 1255 to free Henry III's daughter Margaret and her husband, the young King Alexander III, from the control of a Scottish court faction. After 1258 he picked his own way in quarrels between King and Simon de Montfort, dying before they degenerated into civil war

--------
Died at Ashenfield Manor, Waltham, Canterbury and is buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucester

Earl of Hertford. Usk; Kilkenny. "Weis Ancestral Roots" (54: 30), (63: 29) and Earl of Gloucester and Hertford

With the next generation, the Clare family reached he height of its prominence in the thirteenth century. Earl Richard de Clare was twice married, secretly in 1232 to Meggotta, daughter of the justiciar Hubert de Burgh, who had Richard's custody during his minority after 1230, and in 1237 to Maud, daughter of John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln (d. 1240)

There was no issue by the ill-fated first marriage, but by Maud de Lacy Richard had three sons and four daughters. Negotiations for the second marriage [of Richard] began even before Megotta de Burgh's death in November, 1237

As early as 1236, before the original match was publicly revealed, King Henry had entertained notions of marrying the heir to one of his French relatives

The plan apparently fell through, perhaps when news of the first marriage came out

In the fall of 1237, while Meggotta was still alive, John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, offered 5,000 marks, a sum roughly equivalent to the gross annual value of the Clare inheritance, to have Richard's marriage for his own daughter Maud. The earl was undoubtedly moved by many of the same considerations that had prompted the wife of Hubert de Burgh, although he had no need to resort to the drastic actions she had taken in 1232. He was the highest, and perhaps the only, bidder, but Henry still desired to marry Richard to a foreign kinsman

Through the efforts of his brother Richard of Cornwall, the stepfather of the young heir, a compromise was effected. On October 26, 1237, Henry offered the marriage to Hugh de Lusignan, count of La Marche, for one of his daughters, with the proviso that if the count did not agree to the proposal by the following January, the earl of Lincoln could have it for 3,000 marks. Hugh de Lusignan did not agree, and on January 25, 1238, Richard de Clare was married to Maud de Lacy

By the time of his second marriage, Richard was almost sixteen. He was to remain a ward of the king until 1243, when he came of age and was formally granted seisin of his inheritance. His fortunes shed a grim light on the political and financial manipulations of the rights of wardship and marriage, and on the impact of those rights on national politics. His own attitudes and personal feelings never emerge during this entire period

As Powicke has remarked, "one would like to know how Richard de Clare felt about it all."

On July 15, 1262, the day after the king sailed 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 months before his death, and rumors circulated that he had been poisoned. [Footnote by Altschul: "E.g., Dunstable, p. 219' *Annales Cambriae*, pp. 99-100, where "Gilbert" is wrongly given for "Richard." These chronicles have probably 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 movement which began in the summer of 1258 or thereabouts (p 82-87), but appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87).

Of Earl Richard's four daughters, three married well, the fourth, Eglentina, dying in infancy in 1257

The eldest, Isabel, born in 1240, was married in June 1258 to an important nobleman, William, marquis de Montferrat. Earl Richard paid the marquis 4,000 marks to secure the marriage, and allowed him a choice of brides in addition. Since Isabel was about eighteen and her surviving sisters each less than eight years old, the choice must have been easy. They were married at Lyons, and Isabel seems never to have returned to England

Montferrat was a lordship in northern Italy, technically a member of the Empire but subject to Provencal and Angevin influences. The marquis was a prominent figure on the Ghibelline side in thirteenth century Mediterranean politics, but nothing further is known of Isabel. She probably died sometime before 1271, since the marquis married a daughter of King Alfonso X of Castile in that year. [See notes for the 2nd daughter, Margaret]

The third daughter, Rohese, born in 1252, was married in 1270 to a member of the lesser baronage, Roger de Mowbray, lord of the Yorkshire barony of Thirsk (d. 1297)

Again, the marriage was arranged by her mother, the dowager Countess Maud, and her brother Bogo

Burialafter January 1672He was buried after January 1672 at Buried in the Founders CemeteryG in Norwich, Colonial County of New London, Colony of Connecticut, British Colonial America (North America)G.
NoteJohn Mason (c.1600-1672) was an English Army Major who immigrated to New England in 1632; he is a part of founding Norwich, Connecticut

Within five years he had joined those moving west from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the nascent settlements along the Connecticut River that would become the Connecticut Colony. Tensions there rose between the settlers and the dominant tribe in the area, the Pequots, ultimately leading to bloodshed. After some English settlers were found dead, the Connecticut Colony appointed Mason to lead an expedition against the Pequot stronghold in Mystic, Connecticut. The result is known as the Mystic Massacre, and it was the major engagement of the Pequot War in 1636-1637, which virtually destroyed the Pequot tribe

After the war, Mason became Deputy Governor of Connecticut. He and a number of others were instrumental in the founding of Norwich, Connecticut, where he died in 1672

There is a statue of Major John Mason in the Palisado Green in Windsor, Connecticut, originally placed at the intersection of Pequot Avenue and Clift Street in Mystic, Connecticut near what was thought to be one of the original Pequot forts. The statue remained there for 103 years until a commission chartered by the town of Groton, Connecticut to study the sensitivity and appropriateness of the statues location voted to have it relocated. The State then stepped in and in 1993 relocated the statue to its current setting

An article about the work of the committee can be found at
http://archnet.asu.edu/archives/ethno/Courant/day5.htm

Early life
-----
Born in England where he became an officer in the English army. Mason
served as a lieutenant under Sir Thomas Fairfax. In 1632 Mason
immigrated to America and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts where
he represented that village in the General Court

In 1635 he moved to what would become Windsor, Connecticut, in company
with the Reverend John Warham, Henry Wolcott, and others, prominent
settlers of the town. He was elected an assistant or magistrate of the
Connecticut Colony from Windsor in 1642

[edit] Pequot War

On 1 May 1637, the Connecticut General Court raised a force of 90 men
to be under the command of Captain John Mason for an offensive war
against the Pequot. Mason commanded the successful expedition against
the Pequot Indians, when he and his ninety men immortalized themselves
in overthrowing and destroying the prestige and power of the Pequots
and their fort near Mystic River, on the Groton side. This event
became known as the Mystic massacre. The event is commemorated by a
boulder monument that formally was on Mystic Hill upon which the
pedestal of a life size statue of Major Mason drawing his sword. This
represented the moment when he heard the war-whoop of "Owanux",
"Owanux", by the Indians in their fort

He took a company of Englishmen up the river and rescued two English
maids during this war

John removed his family to Old Saybrook, Middlesex County, Connecticut
in 1647. He was awarded land by the state of Connecticut where
Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut was founded and in 1660 united
with a number of distinguished families in the settlement of Norwich,
New London County, Connecticut where he was Deputy/Lieutenant Governor
(1660-1669), and Major General of the forces of Connecticut.[1]

Mason was recorded as a hero of the Pequot War, although he and his
Connecticut troops were responsible for the massacre of many Native
Americans

ESTATE: On 10 February 1634/5 "Captayne Mason" received a grant of two
acres in Dorchester. He drew six acres of meadow beyond Naponset in
lot #73

In the Windsor land inventory on 28 February 1640[/1] John Mason held
seven parcels, six of which were granted to him: "a home lot with some
additions to it, ten acres"; "in the Palisado where his house stands
and mead adjoining twenty acres and half"; "in the first mead on the
north side of the rivulet, for mead and addition in swamp eight
acres"; "in the northwest field for upland eight acres with some
addition on the bank side"; "over the Great River in breadth by the
river twenty-six rods more or less, and continues that breadth to the
east side of the west marsh, and there it is but sixteen rods in
breadth and so continues to the end of the three miles"; "twelve acres
of land by Rocky Hill"; and "by a deed of exchange with Thomas Duy
[Dewey]… on the east side of the Great River in breadth eighteen
rods more or less, in length three miles"

On 5 January 1641/2 Connecticut court ordered "that Captain Mason
shall have 500 acres (2.0 km²) of ground, for him and his heirs, about
Pequot Country, and the dispose of 500 more to such soldiers as joined
with him in the service when they conquered the Indians there"

On 12 July 1644 John Mason of Windsor sold to William Hosford of Winds
or eight acres in a little meadow with addition of swamp. On 11
September 1651 "the island commonly called Chippachauge in Mistick Bay
is given to Capt. John Mason, as also one hundred acres of upland and
ten acres of meadow near Mistick, where he shall make choice"

On 14 March 1660/1 the "jurisdiction power over that land that Uncus
and Wawequa have made over to Major Mason is by him surrendered to
this Colony. Nevertheless for the laying out of those lands to farms
or plantations the Court doth leave it in the hands of Major Mason. It
is also ordered and provided with the consent of Major Mason, that
Uncus & Wawequa and their Indians and successors shall be supplied
with sufficient planting ground at all times as the Court sees cause
out of that land. And the Major doth reserve for himself a competence
of land sufficient to make a farm"

On 14 May 1663 the court granted "unto the Major, our worshipful
Deputy Governor, 500 acres (2.0 km²) of land for a farm, where he
shall choose it, if it may not be prejudicial to a plantation already
set up or to set up, so there be not above 50 acres of meadow in it".
On 13 Oct ober 1664, the "Major propounding to the Court to take up
his former grant of a farm, at a place by the Indians called Pomakuck,
near Norwich, the Court grants liberty to him to take up his former
grant in that place, upon the same terms as it was granted to him by
the Court"

On 20 May 1668 the "Major desiring this Court to grant him a farm of
about three hundred acres, for one of his sons, his desire is hereby
granted (provided there be not above thirty acres of meadow) and Lt.
Griswo ld & Ensign Tracy are hereby desired to lay it out to him in
some convenient place near that tract of land granted Jer[emiah]
Adams, it being the place the Major hath pitched upon, the name of the
place is Uncupsitt, provided it prejudice no plantation or former
grant"

On 9 May 1672 "Ensign Tracy is appointed to join with Sergeant Tho[ma
s] Leffingwell in laying out to the Major and Mr. Howkins their grants
of land according to their grants"

BIRTH: By about 1605 based on military service in the Low Countries in
the 1620s

DEATH: Norwich between 9 May 1672 and 6 June 1672

Married Ann Peck, July 1639. She was the daughter of Rev. Robert Peck.
She died shortly before her husband

COMMENTS: In his list of "some omitted in former records being gone
yet had children born here," Matthew Grant included "Captain Masen"
and credited him with four children born in Windsor [Grant 93], which
are best accounted for as the daughter Ann who died in 1640, and
Priscilla, Samuel and John

The record of births of John Mason's children by his second wife was
entered in Norwich vital records, even though none of the births had
occurred there, with only the month and year of the birth given. The
division of births between Windsor and Saybrook is based on the
knowledge that Mason was in Saybrook by 1647, and on the accounting of
Matthew Grant, discussed in the last paragraph

In his few years in Massachusetts John Mason was found very useful by
town and colony. On 2 July 1633 order is "given to the Treasurer to
deliver to Lieutenant Mason £10 for his voyage to the eastward, when
he went about the taking of Bull". On 5 November 1633 "Sergeant
Stoughton is chosen ensign to Captain Mason". On 3 September 1634
"Captain Mason" was appointed to a committee to "find out the
convenient places for situation, as also to lay out the several works
for fortification at Castle Island, Charelton, & Dorchester". On 3
September 1635 "Captain Mason is authorized by the Court to press men
& carts to help towards the finishing of the fort at Castle Island, &
to return the same into the Court"

John Mason was one of the most trusted […].
