      Robert de Clifford (c. 1275 – 1314), was the 1st Baron de Clifford. He was a son of Roger de Clifford (d. 1282), inherited the estates of his grandfather, Roger de Clifford, in 1286; then he obtained through his mother part of the extensive land of the Viponts, and thus became one of the most powerful barons of his age. A prominent soldier during the reigns of Edward I and Edward II, Clifford was summoned to parliament as a baron in 1299, won great renown at the siege of Carlaverock Castle in 1300, and after taking part in the movement against Edward II's favourite, Piers Gaveston, was killed at Bannockburn. His son Roger became the 2nd Baron de Clifford. (Wikipedia)
