Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester, 3rd Lord of Glamorgan, 9th Lord of Clare (2 September 1243 \endash 7 December 1295) was a powerful English noble. He was also known as "Red" Gilbert de Clare or "The Red Earl", probably because of his hair colour or fiery temper in battle. He held the Lordship of Glamorgan which was one of the most powerful and wealthy of the Welsh Marcher Lordships as well as over 200 English manors (172 in the Honor of Clare).
Gilbert married Joan "of Acre" OF ENGLAND, daughter of Edward I PLANTAGENET King of England and Eleanor OF CASTILLE, on 30 Apr 1290 in Westminster Abbey, London, England. (Joan "of Acre" OF ENGLAND was born in Apr 1272 in Acre, Palestine and died on 23 Apr 1307 in Clare Castle, Clare, Suffolk, England.)
