From same, 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 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appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87).

Died:
Possibly poisoned by Peter de Savoy, a friend of Simon de Montfort.

[large-G675.FTW]

Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March 1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood Undisclosed off the revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her children. Her activities on behalf of her daughters Margaret and Rohese have been noted [see note under her husband Richard], and she also attempted, with less success, to present her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England, and after his death the countess continued his generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon. Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of Gloucester, but in 1284 Maud
provided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the idea of doing this for
Sandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence, and the dispossessed canons were under
royal protection."
