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withdrawn support shortly after December 1258 (p 87).

A Baronial Family in Medievil England: The Clares, 1217-1314, Michael
Altschul, The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1965. p 94: "Gilbert de
Clare, the "Red Earl" of Gloucester and Hertford, was after Simon de
Montfort the single most important figure in the later stages of the
baronial opposition to Henry III. From his father Earl Richard he
inherited not only the great Clare estates and lordships in England,
Wales, and Ireland, but also a position of leadership among the
magnates of the realm; and he was destined to play an even more
decisive role in the civil wars which determined the fate of the
struggle between king and baronage than his father had played in the
initial stages of the movement for reform." From same p 104, 107-108:
"The victory at Lewes [over Henry III, 14 May 1264] marked the high
point of Simon de Montfort's fortunes. Ominously, a number of Simon's
supporters deserted him, including the Earl of Gloucester. (P)
Gilbert's defection proved the decisive factor in the situation. The
chroniclers record a long list of grievances, and the chancery records
bear at least some of them out. He had become increasingly dissatisfied
with Simon's regime and reproached the earl for his supposed autocratic
rule. He was jealous of the position the earl's sons held in the
government. He quarreled with Simon over the control of royalist
castles and manors, and the exchange of prisoners. He objected to the
use of foreign knights in important castles and the failure to expel
all the aliens from court. His support for Simon had not been
unqualified, as the letter written in the winter of 1263-64 had shown.
A combination of grievances thus drove him into opposition." From same,
p 108-110: "Simon [de Montfort] took [Lord] Edward and Henry [III] with
him to the west, and encamped at Hereford until May 24 [1265].
Attempted negotiations proved fruitless, for Gilbert had already worked
out a plan with Edward and Roger Mortimer which would seal Simon's
fate. On May 28, with the assistance of Thomas de Clare, Earl Gilbert's
younger brother, Edward managed an escape. He joined forces with
[Roger] Mortimer at Wigmore, and the next day Gilbert joined them in
Ludlow. Wykes, perhaps the best informed chronicler of this period,
records an important set of cnditions that Earl Gilbert demanded as the
price of his support. The earl made Edward swear a solemn oath that, if
victorious, he would cause the "good old laws" of the realm to be
observed' evil customs would be abolished, aliens banished from the
king's council and administration; and the king would rule with the
counsel of his faithful subjects. If Wykes' account of the oath is
substantially correct, it clearly shows that Gilbert remained firmly
attracted to the principles of the Provisions [of Oxford (1258) and
Westminster (1259), granted to the barons by Henry III but not much
adhered to], however vaguely envisioned and conventionally expressed,
and to the xenophobia which the movement engendered. If he withdrew his
support from Simon, it was not because he was willing, like his father
Earl Richard in 1260, to repudiate the Provisions, but because he felt
that Simon did not distinguish between the baronial ideals and his
personal ambition. The cause of reform, in short, was not the exclusive
prerogative of the earl of Leicester. (P) The military operations are
quickly told. Under the leadership of Edward and Earl Gilbert, the
royalists gathered at Gloucester, cutting off Simon's retreat across
the Severn at that point. Boldly making his way into the march, Simon
renewed his alliance with Llywelyn in the middle of June. He then went
through Monmouth to the borough of Newport in the Clare lordship of
Gwynllwg and attempted to cross over to Bristol, but this plan was
foiled when Earl Gilbert destroyed the convoy sent for that purpose.
Simon managed to return to Hereford, and tried to join forces with an
army led by his son. Edward and Gilbert, however, surprised the younger
Simon at Kenilworth in Warwick on August 1, routed his forces, and
immediately doubled back to intercept Earl Simon. The earl reached the
Worcester manor of Evesham on August 3, but was surrounded by the
royalists. The next day battle [of Evesham] was joined. As Simon
advanced on a troop led by Roger Mortimer, Earl Gilbert, who commanded
the second line, suddenly attacked from the rear. The outcome was less
a battle than a slaughter. The only important marcher who fought with
Simon, Humphrey de Bohun the younger, was captured and imprisoned at
Beeston castle in Cheshire, where he died on October 27. Two other men
with marcher affiliations, Henry de Hastings and John fitz John, were
also imprisoned. Otherwise the royalists showed no mercy. Simon de
Montfort, his son Henry, his loyal friend Peter de Montfort the elder,
the justiciar Hugh Despenser and many others were slain. King Henry
himself was rescued by Roger Leyburn. The Montfortian experiment was
ended. (P) The death of Simon de Montfort did not produce peace. The
ferocity with which the royalists had crushed their enemies carried
over into a period of widespread seizures of rebel lands and
indiscriminate plundering which produced further turmoil and unrest. In
addition, the territorial policy adopted by the restored royal
government provoked those supporters of Earl Simon still at large into
guerilla operations which turned into full-scale warfare and prevented
a final pacification of the kingdom until the end of 1267. In this
period the actions of Gilbert de Clare again proved decisive. His
support for the disinherited rebels was a major factor in the
establishment of internal order following the two years of continued
civil strife which constituted the aftermath of the battle of Evesham."
From same, p 120-121: "The most striking feature of Gilbert de Clare's
role in the later stages of the baronial movement is its consistency.
The Red Earl's shifting allegiance was a sign not of vaillation but of
independence. He was the moderating force against the extremes of both
the royalist and the Montfortian sides. He was attracted to the
baronial movement as a whole, but even more than his father Earl
Richard, he drew the crucial distinction between its policies and the
great earl whose name is inseparably associated with the movement. Earl
Gilbert was not convinced that Simon de Montfort's actions were always
and indisputably right, and he withdrew his support when he felt that
Simon's regime was no better in its way than King Henry's had been. His
adherence to the royalists, however, was no less qualified. When two
years of continued resistance to the restored government of Henry III
produced further social and political unrest, Earl Gilbert's rising
proved the decisive factor in restoring unity and tranquillity to the
realm. Unlike Earl Richard, Gilbert had not accepted Henry's
repudiation of the principles which underlay the Provisions of Oxford
and Westminster. His activities, while strongly colored by personal
animosities and conditioned by personal interests, nevertheless reveal
a continuity of purpose which did much in helping to incorporate those
principles into the fabric of the common law and the conduct of
monarchy. From same, p 155-156: "On December 7 [1295] he [Gilbert] died
at Edmund of Lancaster's castle of Monmouth, and was buried two weeks
later at Tewkesbury Abbey. Most of the chroniclers merely noted his
death without further comment, although an interpolation in the
chronicle of Walter of Guisborough refers, in rather conventional
fashion, to the earl's military prowess and staunch defense of his
rights. The Red Earl's last years were spent under the shadow of Edward
I's domination, and his stormy career ended in dispirited humiliation.
Perhaps the soundest judgment is that contained in the otherwise
undistinguished Osnay chronicle. In referring to the earl's marriage to
Joan of Acre in 1290, the chronicler calls Gilbert the greatest of the
magnates of the realm in nobility and eminence, and incomparably the
most powerful man in the kingdom -- next to the king. Later events
proved that the chronicler's qualification was more significant than he
could have realized at the time." From same, 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."
REF: "Falls
the Shadow"
Sharon Kay Penman: May 1263 the young Earl of Gloucester led an Army
west & captured the Bishop of Hereford, the most hated of the
foreign advisors to Henry III then left after the expulsion of the de
Lusignans. He threw the Bishop into prison, laid siege to the royal
castle at Gloucester, where de Montfort assumed command. The army then
went north to Bridgenorth, where they coordinated their attack with
Llywelyn ap Gruffydd; the twon & castle surrendered. de
Montfort
then headed south for London, where a panicked Henry took refuge in the
Tower. On April 5 1264 the defeat at Northampton by Prince Edward of
Simon de Montfort's forces crippled Simon's forces. Northampton
defenses had been allowed to decay in the years previous to de
Montfort's occupation there, plus the battle was lost due to the
treachery of the Prior at St. Andrew's. After the defeat, Edward
allowed his army to have their sport on the town, culminating in utter
destruction, rapine, murder, etc. of its inhabitants. Some 80 barons
& knights were taken prisoner & the rebel army was
gutted. The
defeat touched off a riot in London on Apr 9, 1264 in which hundreds,
mainly Jews, were slain. Sir Hugh le Despenser, Simon's Justicialar
& Thomas FitzThomas, Mayor of London, attempted to control the
crowds & saved some lives by offering sanctuary in the Tower.
FitzThomas then begged Simon to return to London to quell the
Londoners' fear. In May 1264 Edward looted lands of Robert de Ferrers,
the Earl of Derby, after he lost Tutbury Castle, Derby defected from
Simon's support. King Henry meanwhile took Leicester &
Nottingham.
Simon & Gilbert de Clare attacked Rochester Castle (which
surrendered) & besieged the town when Edward approached London
so
Simon went back to defend it. King Henry & Edward were
practicing
fierce cruelty by chopping off the nads & feet of all common
soldiers captured from de Montfort's army. The Cinque Ports &
Dover
Castle held fast for Simon, & did not obey Henry &
Edward's
command for a naval force to attack London. Thwarted, Edward took
Gilbert de Clare's Tonbridge Castle. Simon continued to hold London,
but is surrounded by Edward & Henry. Gilbert lets his men loose
on
the Canterbury Jews using as a weak (& unproven) excuse that
they
were in league with the King. de Clare had a fairly long histroy of
intense hatred for Jews. On the eve of the Battle of Lewes, 14 May
1264, after Henry had refused the entreaty of the Bishops of London
& Worcester (Walter de Cabntelou) to negotiate, de Clare
followed
Simon de Montfort's lead & formally renounced all allegiance to
King Henry. With Robert de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, de Clare had the
most to lose of any of the rebel supporters. In late July, he joined
forces with Montfort & Llywelyn ap Gruffydd & put down
a
rebellion of the Welsh Marcher Lords, including Roger de Mortimer. In
October 1264 he was excommunicated by Papal edict along with other
Montfort supporters & Simon himself; however, the sentecne of
anathema was not practiced by the English Church. Clare had an
extremely prickly sense of pride, & held a mixture of rancor
toward
Montfort's sons & jealosy of Montfort himself, both of his
acclaim
& his personal popularity with the people. Clare also could
have
split because of his intense anti-Jewish sentiment & Montfort's
refusal to condone pogroms, etc. In November 1264, Clare had the latest
of many quarrels with Montfort's son Bran de Montfort, but this one
spilled bad blood for the first time over to Gilbert's brother Thomas
de Clare too. Before Nov 1264, Montfort awarded his sons several
lucrative appointments; when Clare complained he was brushed off by
Montfort. Although after Lewes Clare received the lands of John de
Warenne, William de Lusignan & Peter de Savoie, but Montfort
rejected his demand for the ransom of Richard of Cornwall (despite the
Mise of Lewes proclaiming no ransoms to be paid for prisoners from the
battle). Montfort called a Parliament January 1265; at this Parliament
Montfort had a very public clash with Clare; Clare withdrew to his
estates on the Welsh Marches. Clare was harboring Marcher Lords in
violation of the government expulsion edict. Clare was grieved at
Montfort's unilateral appointment of his son Amaury as treasurer of
York & when in late 1264 Montfort arrested the Earl of Derby
&
threw him into the Tower of London for wanton lawlessness, extortion
& plundering of his neighbors. Many lords, while not feeling
sorry
for Derby, felt this set a dangerous precedent. Lord paid for political
transgressions; not criminal ones. By April/May 1265, Simon &
Clare
had supposedly patched up a peace again, but Clare was only stalling
for time in order to free Prince Edward from the custody of Henry de
Montfort & Robert de Ros. Edward had again played his cousin
Henry
for the fool, gradually getting Henry to trust him & allow him
more
freedom. While Clare made a visit to King Henry to make a false oath of
fealty to the King & Simon's government, he engineered Roger de
Mortimer's rescue of Edward from Henry de Montfort to Wigmore castle in
May 1265. Gilbert almost goes to war with Roger de Mortimer over the
lands of Humphrey de Bohun, who died in captivity soon after Evesham
(Aug 4 1265). Gilbert was as uneasy in his new alliance with Edward as
he had been formerly with Simon; he simmered until April 1267 he siezed
London. He held London for two months until he was able to negotiate an
amnesty with Henry. His wife (they shared a mutual hatred for one
another) tried to warn her uncle King Henry of Gilbert's intention but
he did not believe her until it was too late.

Michael
Altschul, *A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares,
1217-1314*, Baltimore MD (The Johns Hopkins Press) 1965, concerning the
partition of the de CLARE estates after the death of the last Gilbert,
p 170-171: "Hugh Despenser and Eleanor [Gilbert's sister] received the
lordship of Glamorgan, the most important of all the Clare holdings,
along with Rotherfield in Sussex and scattered manors in Devon and
Somerset. In addition, each heir acquired two-ninths of the liberty of
Kilkenny in Ireland, although there is no evidence that any of them
every visited it. (P) The death of the countess in the summer of 1320
completed the division of the estates among th heirs. Maud probably
died on July 2, and the properties she held in dower must have been
partitioned shortly thereafter. Each received an equal portion of her
third of Kilkenny. The partition of the Clare estates has been
described as "the most important territorial upheaval of the reign."

General Notes: I
have taken the following information from J Craig Canada's Family Tree
We
first find Thomas Keene living on Kent Island. This island, which lies
just off the coast of Maryland in Chesapeake Bay, was first colonized
in 1631 when Col. William Clayborne of Virginia led a band of about 100
colonists there and established a trading post. In 1632 the colonists
sent a representative to the Virginia Assembly at Jamestown. However,
Lord Baltimore had been granted a claim which overlapped that of
Virginia and on February 27, 1634, after a long and stormy voyage, 300
of his colonists reached Maryland. A conflict then arose between the
Kent Islanders, who wished to belong to Virginia and the Marylanders
who claimed the island for their colony. This dispute lasted for
fifteen years.
In Dec 1636 Capt George Evelin
appeared on Kent
Island and put himself in the good graces of the inhabitants by seeming
to favor their claims to Virginia allegiance. Early in 1637, however,
he changed sides and by trickery and double-dealing managed to supplant
Col. Clayborne as leader of the colony. He was given the title of
Commander of Kent Island by Gov. Calvert of Maryland and became a
virtual dictator over the inhabitants. Streeter says 'John Struman, Sr.
and Thomas Keyme, coopers,' were directed to devote their time to
making pipe-staves, assisted by seven servants. April 30, 1638, we find
this record: 'Entered by Capt. George Evelin for the Manor of Evelinton
in the Baronie of St. Maries:' Following this were the names of 23 men
among them Thomas Keane, William Medcalf, Matthew Roadham and Thomas
Orley, all of whom later moved to Northumberland County, VA, just
across the Potomac River from St. Marys County, Md. This might mean
that Capt Evelin was responsible for bringing these colonists to Kent
Island form England or merely that he took them form Kent Island to St.
Marys. Many of the names listed were mentioned by Streeter as having
been on Kent Island.
Thomas Keene may have been one
of the
original settlers of Kent Island who went there from Virginia with Col.
Clayborne in 1631. If he did live for a while on St. Marys, he later
returned to Kent Island, where on Nov 9, 1640, he patented 100 acres of
land in Hog Pen Creek and Chesapeake Bay on the West. We know that his
eldest son was born on Kent in 1642. The Proceedings of the Council of
Maryland, 1633-47, give an assessment by Lieut. Grall and Council for
levying 2000 pounds of tobacco to the account of the last
expedition-'levies upon the county of Kent after the rates following.'
Among those levied upon was Thomas Keyne.
In 1644,
Col.
Clayborne moved to Virginia, taking 100 men, for each of which he
received 50 acres of land on the south side of the York River. Thomas
Keene was claimed as one of these headrights, though this claim was not
recorded until 1653. The land grant states that William Clayborne 'came
up the Pamunkey River in the narrows abutting on the mouth of a creek
called Tankes, parting same land from the land of Captain John West's
running west to a point of land whereon said Col. Clayborne landed his
army under his command, in 1644.' Thomas Keene may have served for a
time with Col. Clayborne near West Point, Virginia. However, in 1648 he
was in St. Marys County, Maryland, where he made the deposition stating
his age.
Thomas Keene had moved to Cherry Point,
Northumberland
County, Virginia by December 9, 1650, on which date he and Willam
Presley appraised an estate. (North. R.B. 1650-52. p.48) April 13,
1652, an oath of allegiance to England was taken by a number of
Northumberland colonists as follows: 'Those names here subscribed do
promise and engage ourselves to be bound and faithful to the
Commonwealth of England as it is now without King or House of Lords.'
Among other signers were Thomas Keene, Henry Rayner and Thomas
Broughton, successive husbands of the same wife. (North. O.B. 1, p. 72)
Sept 20, 1652, Thomas Keene was paid 625 pounds of tobacco out of the
estate of Henry Barnes. (North. O.B. 2, p.289) Oct 13, 1653, we find
recorded: 'Now Know we that I the said Richard Bennett Esq. Governor
give and grant unto Thomas Keene five hundred twenty seven Acres of
Land Scituate laying and being in the County of Northumberland and
abutting Northwest upon the Severall Lands of Ralph Horsly and Edward
Coppedge South and South East upon Claughtons Creeke and North East
upon Cherry poynt the said Land due unto the said Thomas Keene by and
for the transportation of Eleven persons into this Colony to have and
to hold...' (L. Gr. B. 3, p.61) Headrights mentioned were Thomas Orley
(twice), Archibald Read, Thomas Watson, Margaret Browne, John Earle and
wife, Thomas Keene, Mary Keene and William Keene. This was recorded
after the death of Thomas and the patent was renewed March 18, 1662.
Thomas
Keene, the immigrant ancestor of this family, came first to Virginia
and then for some reason went to Kent Island, Maryland, where his
eldest child, William Keene was born in 1642. This fact is recorded on
the elaborate epitaph on the tombstone of his son William Keene. This
tombstone recites a full family history; 'William Keene, son of Thomas
and Mary Keene, his wife, was born on Kent Island, Maryland and brought
to Virginia where he married etc...' Thomas Keene took the oath of
allegiance to the Commonwealth of England on April 13, 1652 in
Northumberland County, Virginia. The name is spelled Kane, Cane, on the
early records and from this spelling as well as a later spelling it is
sure that the name was pronounced as though it were spelled Cayne. The
spelling even occurs in a few instances as Keyne. Thomas Keene died
about 1659 leaving four very young children to the care of his widow
Mary. Mary lost no time in making a second marriage to an Englishman
names Thomas Broughton by whom she had no issue nor did Thomas
Broughton leave issue by any other wife. He pre-deceased the said Mary
and left his estate to her children by her first husband. Thomas Keene,
orphan, of the above Thomas Keene was allowed 'one steer for two years
schooling, October 10, 1659.'
In the division of the
cattle
belonging to the orphans of Thomas Keene, deceased, the names of the
orphans were given as: William, Thomas, Susanna, and
A
record dated 30 Apr 1638 shows that Thomas was one of 23 men who were
transported to St. Mary's County, MD, by Capt. George Evelin to seat
the manor of Evelinton. By 9 Dec 1650 Thomas and his family had
relocated to Northumberland Co., VA. Thomas left descendants in
Northumberland, Stafford, and Westmoreland County in Virginia.

"He
may have been the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Gosnold) Keene of
Suffolk, England. That couple did have a son Thomas Keene, named as a
grandson in the will of Robert Gosnold of Earleshall, County Suffolk,
Esq., 1615. That son also had a cousin, Anthony Gosnold, in Virginia in
1615. But absolute proof that the the son of Thomas and Elizabeth
(Gosnold) Keene is the same person as the Thomas Keene of Kent Island,
Maryland has not, to the best of my knowledge, yet been established
conclusively.
"He lived on Kent Island, Maryland,
from probably
1631 until probably 1644. It is possible he was among a group of
inhabitants who moved to St. Mary's county, Maryland in 1638, but if
so, he returned to Kent Island by 9 Nov 1640. He was probably with a
group of islanders led by Col. Clayborne that moved to Northumberland
Co., Virginia in 1644, but in 1648 he was resident in St. Marys County,
Maryland (just across the Potomac). He resided at Cherry Point,
Northumberland Co., Va by 9 Dec 1650 where he died in 1652.
"He
was a cooper and possibly merchant by trade, as well as a planter, and
directed the making of "pipe staves" while on Kent Island". 90
