3rd Earl of Gloucester; 7th Earl of Hertford.

One of the greatest of the Clares was Gilbert de Clare, 9th earl of Clare, 7th earl of Hertford, and 6th earl of Gloucester (1243-1295), known as the Red Earl. A leader of the barons in the early stages of the Barons' War against King Henry III, he deserted the baronial side in 1265, thus helping to ensure a royal victory at the Battle of Evesham. Two years later he changed sides again, captured London, and forced the king to accept a negotiated settlement. In 1290 he married Joan of Acre, a daughter of Henry's successor, King Edward I. When Gilbert de Clare, 10th Earl of Clare (1291-1314), died childless, the male line of the Clares came to an end. His sister, Elizabeth de Clare (1291?-1360), founded Clare College at the University of Cambridge.

According to THE DE CLARE FAMILY copyright by Daniel Mersey
(http://castlewales.com/clares.html):
"Born in 1243, Gilbert rose to become one of the most powerful and
influential men in England at his time; he used the strife of the mid
thirteenth century Baronial Wars to his advantage-siding first with Simon
de Montfort at the battle of Lewis in 1264, and afterwards with Henry II
and Prince Edward.  Indeed, the Earl of Gloucester played a crucial role
in the defeat of de Montfort's army at the battle of Evesham the
following year, and used the opportunity to strengthen the family's
position in the Welsh borderlands."
