Hawise, daughter and heir of Sir William de Lanvalay: _married_ before November 21, 1234; _died_ 1249; _buried_ at Colchester. [Character imaginary.] 2. _Hubert_, living 1281-82; ancestor of the Marquis of Clanricarde. Whom he married is not known. D. _By Margaret of Scotland_:-- Margaret, or Margery--she bears both names on the Rolls--_born_ probably 1222; _married_ at Bury Saint Edmund's "when the Earl was at Merton"-- probably January 11-26, 1236,--clandestinely, but with connivance of mother, to Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester; divorced 1237; livery of her estates granted to brother John, May 5, 1241; therefore _died_ shortly before that date. Most writers attribute to Earl Hubert another daughter, whom they call Magotta: but the Rolls show no evidence of any daughter but Margaret. Magotta, or Magot, is manifestly a Latinism of Margot, the French diminutive for Margaret; the Earl's gifts to monasteries for the souls of himself and relatives, include "M. his daughter," but make no mention of two; and the grants made by the King to Earl Hubert and Margaret his wife, and Margaret their daughter, certainly imply that Margaret was the sole heir of her mother. [Character inferentially historical, except as regards religion, for which no evidence is forthcoming.] RICHARD DE CLARE. He was the eldest son of Gilbert, Earl of Gloucester and his wife Isabel Marshal (who married, secondly, the King's brother, Richard Earl of Cornwall): _born_ 1222, the same year as that which probably saw the birth of Margaret de Burgh. King Henry obliged him to _marry_, in or about January, 1239, Maud de Lacy, daughter of John, Earl of Lincoln, by whom (after the death of Margaret) he had a family of three sons and three daughters. His eldest daughter he named after his lost love; but she proved a far less amiable character. Earl Richard was one of several noblemen who _died_, we are told, from poison, in consequence of dining with Queen Eleonore's cousin, Count Pietro of Savoy, June 14, 1262. He was _buried_ in Tewkesbury Abbey. Richard stood foremost of the English nobles in the wars of the Barons against Henry the Third, and with his own hand forced the King to swear to the terms they dictated, in 1259, as is stated in the story. [Character historical.] FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS. These are, the priests at Bury Castle; the various Jews introduced; Levina; Doucebelle de Vaux. Eva de Braose, Marie de Lusignan, Sir John de Burgh and his wife Hawise, are historical so far as their existence is concerned, but the characters ascribed to them are imaginary. The dreadful end of Delecresse is thus far true,--that a Jew was thus treated by Richard de Clare. But who it really was who revealed to King Henry the clandestine marriage of Richard and Margaret, is one of the inscrutable mysteries of which no evidence remains.
