Notes	[large-G675.FTW] Source: A Baronial Family in Medievil England: The Clares, 1217-1314, Michael Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1965. 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the barons in the antiroyalist movement which began in the summer of 1258 or thereabouts (p 82-87), but appears to have withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87).
