[[Category:Clare-651 Descendants]][[Category: Clare-673 Descendants]]
Richard's wife Maud was also descended from two Sureties, Lacy and Quincy, so their sons Gilbert and Thomas and daughter Rose inherited four Magna Carta descents and passed them on as a group to large numbers of descendants, including a majority of Colonial Gateways.
Many early descendants married the descendants of other Sureties, especially those of Hugh le Bigod's daughter Isabel.
Later descendants married each other, so that their further descendants inherited the same cluster of ancestors multiple times.

==Biography==In April 1248. Richard de Clare, earl of Gloucester, [[Beauchamp-534|Thomas de Bello Campo]], Walter de Scoteny, Roger de Clifford, William de Clare and Nicholas de Leuekenor, received a letter of protection with clause ''rolumus'', until a fortnight after Midsummer, to go on a pilgrimage beyond seas.}
