Abt 1125 - 1176 (51 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Richard "Strongbow" Fitzgilbert De Clare was born about 1125 in Tunbridge, Kent, England; died on 20 Apr 1176 in Dublin, Ireland; was buried in Holy Trinity (Christ Church Cathedrall), Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. Notes:
Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (of the first creation), Lord of Leinster, Justiciar of Ireland (1130 – 20 April 1176), also known as Richard FitzGilbert, was an Anglo-Norman[1] nobleman notable for his leading role in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland. Like his father, Richard fitz Gilbert has since become commonly known by his nickname Strongbow (Norman French: Arc-Fort), which may be a mistranscription or mistranslation of "Striguil".
His son Gilbert de Striguil (or de Strigoil) died unmarried before 1189 and the earldom passed via Richard's daughter Isabel to her spouse William Marshall.
