against King John, and his Castle at Tonbridge was taken. On 9 November 1215 he was one of the
commissioners who, on the part of the Barons, was to treat of peace with the King. On 4 March
1215/6 his lands in counties Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk; and Essex were granted to
Robert de Betun; he and his son were among the Barons excommunicated by the Pope in 1215.
As for the Hertford Castle of the de Clares, it is one of two Castles: A 10th Century ruin or a 17th Century structure. The older Castle retains a wall and part of a Norman tower. The remainder of the building is a Jacobean accretion made of brick and completely modernized.
