Michael Altschul, *A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares, 1217-1314*, Baltimore MD (Johns Hopkins Press) 1965, p 41-42:

"Taken as a whole, the Clare family represents what might be termed one of the most successful joint enterprises in medieval English history. More than two centuries of steady territorial growth raised the family to a position of pre-eminence in the ranks of the higher nobility. The major factors in this development in the twelfth century were undoubtedly royal favor and shrewdly chosen marriages. The Clares prospered from their intimate connections with successive rulers of England, and the male members of the house were rewarded with a series of important fiefs and well-placed ladies. The power and prestige of the family reached their highest level in the thirteenth century and the fortunes of its members help illuminate almost every aspect of the social and political life of the English baronage in this period."

Richard married Rohese Giffard about 1054 in England. Rohese (daughter of Walter Giffard Earl Of Buckingham and Agnes Ermentrude Fleitel) was born in 1034 in Longueville, Normandy, France; died in 1117 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

[large-G675.FTW]

ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER (Humphrey de Veulles ..., Touroude ..., Torf), born about 1010, succeeded to the family estates in Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Pre'aux, Torville, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by which last name he came to be generally described. By his marriage he greatly increased the possessions and prestige of the family, and he rose to be one of the most powerful feudal noblemen of his age in Normandy. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels for the fleet and was left in charge of the government of Normandy when the Conqueror started on the expedition. He munificently endowed the Abbey of Pre'aux, of which late in life he became a monk; and dying in 1094 at advanced age, he was buried in this monastery at Ponteaudemer, Normandy. (P) He married about 1040, ADELINE DE MEULLANT, daughter and eventually sole heiress of Waleran, Comte de Meullant, a great feudal nobleman of France. She died in 1081. (P) Children ....

Roger de BEAUMONT was born about 1010 in "of" Pont Audemer, N, France. IGI has abt 1022. So does Roderick W Stuart, *Royalty for Commoners*, 2nd edn, 1992, p 161 (lin 220) He died in 1094. OR: Roger de BELLOMONT
"The same thing is true of Beaumont [i.e., the name "may well be Norman or at
least French in origin".] There was a Roger de Beaumont recorded in the Domesday Book as holding Sturminster Marshal in Dorset, and this Roger certainly took his name from Beaumont in Normandy. From Roger descended the Counts of Meulan, the old Earls of Leicester, and the old Earls of
Warwick."

descendants of the Normans", London (Evans Brothers Ltd) 1954, p 106-107
