Isabel "Countess of Glouster and Hertford, Cornwall and Poitou" Marshal

(9 Oct 1200 - 17 Jan 1240)

}Disambiguation: Isabel, the daughter of Willliam Marshal and Isabel de Clare, had an elder sister named Sybil, and her grandmother (William's mother) was also Sybil or Sybilla Marshal. Isabel the wife of Gilbert de Clare was not named Sybilla.

== Biography ==: A medieval English countess, she was the wife of both Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 1st Earl of Gloucester and Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (son of King John of England). With the former,she was a great grandparent of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland. ''The Magna Charta Sureties 1215''
: Born at Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales, on 9 Oct 1200, she married Sir Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, on her birthday, 9 Oct 1217. ''Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families'', vol II, page 185 Isabel was the seventh child, and second daughter, of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare. She had five brothers: the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Earl's of Pembroke; each of her brothers dying without a legitimate male heir and passing it on to the next brother in line. Her last brother to hold the title of Earl of Pembroke died without legitimate issue. Isabel had four sister, and the title was passed down through the family of Isabel's younger sister Joan. Her sisters married, respectively, the Earls of Norfolk, Surrey, and Derby; the 10th Baron Abergavenny and the Lord of Swanscombe.
: She had proven child bearing ability and the ability to bear healthy sons; as evidenced by her six young children, three of whom were sons. These were most likely the reasons for both the proposal of marriage from Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, and Isabel's acceptance of it, despite the fact that her husband had just died five months previously. The two were married on 30 March 1231 at Fawley Church, much to the displeasure of Richard's brother King Henry, who had been arranging a more advantageous match for Richard. Isabel and Richard got along well enough, though Richard had a reputation as a womanizer and is known to have had mistresses during the marriage. They were the parents of four children, three of whom died in the cradle.
: Isabel died of liver failure, contracted while in childbirth, on 17 January 1239/40, at Berkhamsted Castle, Hertfordshire, England. ''Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families'', vol II, page 186 She was 39 years old.
: When Isabel was dying she asked to be buried next to her first husband at Tewkesbury Abbey, but Richard had her interred at Beaulieu Abbey, with her infant son, instead. As a pious gesture, however, he sent her heart, in a silver-gilt casket, to Tewkesbury.
