"("J The first " Marshal of England" is generally considered to have Roger DE Mont- gomery, who was Marshal of the Norman army at the Conquest, but the first on record is Gilbert DE Clare, who acquired that office in 1135, and who in 1138 was cr. EaKI. OS Pembroke. He d. 114S and was sue. by his s. Richard (called " Strong' bow,") who was "Marshal of England,' 1 at the Coronation of Henry II. in 1154.
