  • Notes 
    • OCCUPATION: Keeper of Cardiff Castle, fought at Bannockburn, 1314--- Michael Altschul, *A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares,
      1217-1314*, Baltimore MD (Johns Hopkins Press) 1965. p 38-39:
      -----Ralph was styled earl of Gloucester *jure uxoris* and for the next decade administered the estates with the king's daughter. After Joan's death, his rights to the estates and title lapsed, and he was thenceforth treated as an ordinary baron. His children by Joan of Acre were likewise excluded from the inheritance, and had no future connection with the Clares, aside from a daugher, Mary, who was married in 1307 to Duncan, son and heir of Duncan, earl of Fife, and Joan, the Red Earl's daughter by his first marriage to Alice de Lusignan.[Custer February 1, 2002 Family Tree.FTW]
