Walter III de Clifford

Walter III de Clifford

Family

Walter III de Clifford was born before 1190, the son of Walter II de Clifford and Agnes Cundy. He died before 20 December 1263. He had at least three brothers, Roger, Hugh and Reginald, as well as a sister, Basilia.

History

He took over Clifford barony in 1208 on the disgrace of his father, Walter II de Clifford, who appeared disloyal to King John of England who was then in dispute with Walter's lord for Bronllys, William de Braose, 7th Baron Abergavenny.

Walter's first marriage proved barren and he married Margaret the daughter of Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, late in life during 1232. During baronial discontent he rebelled against King Henry III in 1233 and surrendered after Clifford Castle had been reduced by the king. He then joined the king, defending Bronllys Castle in a war against his father-in-law, Llywelyn ab Iorwerth who was at the time besieging nearby Brecon. Twenty years later he nearly rebelled again in a dispute with the king over his Marcher franchies during which he forced a royal messenger to eat a royal writ, which included the wax seal.He left one daughter, a granddaughter of Llywelyn ab Iorwerth as heiress, Matilda Clifford.
