Part 1 Sheila's Video of Clare Castle, Suffolk, 2010.wmv

This actual Video embraces 'The de Clare Medieval Ancestors' and my visit to Clare in Suffolk to research and explore these famous folk who arrived with The Conqueror. I need to point out that there was more than 1 Elizabeth de Burgh--the one at Burrough Green is not the same as the Elizabeth de Burgh of Clare which I later discovered, following in depth research.More detailed information can be found on my Family Tree. My de Clare Ancestors later married into the de Pecche family with Sir Gilbert de Pecche born 1145 marrying Alice FitzWalter who's great grandfather was Earl Richard FitzGilbert de Clare 1024-1090 who built , along with others, Clare Castle and Tonbridge Castle.The last sole remaining heir of the de Pecches was Baronness Catherine de Pecche who married Sir Thomas Notbeame--their descendents link with Little Bradley and the Hinkleys,Caldebecks and Underhills and finally the Stutevilles--the latter also arrived with the Conqueror and built Alnwick Castle in Northumbria and others.

Hi Shelia,Hello from the USA!! I am guessing we are very distant cousins. I have been doing some research into my ancestors for a sociology project and came across my connection to Richard "Strongbow" De Clare. I can actually trace his roots back to a Richard "The Fearless" De Normandie I started to do more research about this Great grandfather of mine and came across your video. Thanks for posting it.
