Web Notes notes for Richard FitzGilbert DE CLARE Lord Of Clare
When his father was assassinated about 1039/40, he and his brother fled to Baldwin of Flanders. William the Conqueror met them there when he married Baldwin's daughter, and took them into his favor.145
According to Cockayne's "Complete Peerage", he was Lord of Bienfaite & Orbec in Normandy and accompanied his kinsman, William the Conquerer, into England. He was rewarded by him with no less than 176 Lordships, of which 95 were in Suffolk, attached to the honor of Clare, which honor, with the castle of Clare, as also the castle of Tonbridge in Kent, he obtained, becoming thus Lord of Clare and of Tonbridge. During the king's absence he was Joint Chief Justiciar, and, as such, suppressed the revolt of 1075.
