A few years after this, “whilst he, the said <g>William Marshall</g>, was in Ireland, <g>Leoline</g>, Prince of Wales, took two of his castles; and having cut off the heads of those whom he found therein, manned them with his own soldiers. But when tidings thereof came to him, he soon returned into <g>Wales</g>; and having, with a great power, won them again, took the like revenge upon the Welsh: and thinking this not enough, he invaded the lands of <g>Leoline</g>, and wasted them with fire and sword. Whereupon Leoline advanced towards him with all his strength, but to little purpose; for, encountering him in battle, the Marshall totally routed his whole army, of which to the number of nine thousand were slain and taken.” This earl married Eleanor, daughter of King <g>John</g>; and dying at Kilkenny, in 1231, was there buried in the choir of the Mendicant Friars.[65] [Illustration] <g>Richard</g>, his brother and successor, being irritated by the violent conduct of the king and his ministry, formed an alliance with <g>Llewellyn</g> ap Jowarth, Prince of Wales, and in 1233 defeated the king’s army at <g>Grosmont</g>; but with dutiful respect for his sovereign, he fell back with the Cambrian army before sunrise, to allow his Majesty’s retreat from the Castle of Gloucester. Henry, not appreciating the generous conduct of his reluctant foe, resisted this attack; and on the return of the Lord Marshall to his estates in Ireland, he was treacherously wounded to death at Kildare,[66] and there buried by the side of his brother William, whom he had survived only three years. <g>Gilbert</g>, the third son, married a daughter of Alexander, King of Scotland, and died in 1242. <g>Walter</g> Marshall, the fourth son, died at Goodrich Castle, in December, 1245. And-- <g>Anselm</g>, the fifth and last son of this doomed family, died like his brothers, childless, in the same month of the same year, in the Castle of Striguil or Chepstow, and was interred with his brother in Tinterne Abbey. Of their five sisters, Eve, the youngest, married “William de Braliuse or Braose,[67] of whose family more hereafter.
