Notes - Clare (family), family of English nobles prominent in the 12th and 13th centuries. The 1st earl of Clare, the founder of the family, was Richard Fitz-Gilbert (flourished 1070-91?), a knight who accompanied William the Conqueror (King William I of England) on the Norman invasion of England in 1066. He received extensive lands in Suffolk County, and in the village of Clare he built a castle, the ruins of which still exist. His great-grandson, Richard de Clare, 2nd earl of Pembroke, known as Strongbow, laid the foundations for English rule in Ireland (see Pembroke, Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of). Richard de Clare, 6th earl of Clare (died 1217), and his son Gilbert de Clare, 7th earl of Clare (flourished 1215-30), were leaders of the barons who forced King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215.
