- 2nd Earl of Claire.
Present at the murder of William II in 1100.
Received lands in Wales from Henry I, including Cardigan Castle in Wales.
Built a Castle at Caerdigan, Pembrokeshire, Wales. A marriage brought it into the
hands of William Marshall, who soon controlled the strongest castles on the peninsula. The keep
has been transformed into a modern house. Of all the castles that finally came into William
Marshall's possession, this was the most important to the area. Scholars believe there is evidence
that it was originally built of wood.
