III. " paid a line of 200 marks to hold for life the custody of the county anil of the Castle of S iruin."

'K) in 1188, from his Royal father, and obtained in marriage,! 1 ') 1198. by means of the reigning King, his brother (to whom the lady was in ward) the aliovementioued, Kla, heiress of the Earls of Salisbury, (') That portion of this statement which corrects the very inaccurate account of this Eleanor's husbands given in * I.aeock Abbey " is derived from Stapletou's " Miii. Hot. Setter. A'ojim." vol. ii. p. xliv, note "o." She had by her second husband, Gilbert de Tillieres, two daughters, which are often ATongly attributed to Karl William, as well as Kla. hi» only child, her third and youngest da. These daughter* were (11 Juliana, dame de Tillieres, who m. Baldwin llastel, and (/. before 1222, leaving a da. and h., Hvlaria, dame de Tillieres, who m. James de Bovelingham ; (2) Joanna, m. Thomas Male-mains (1201-18) and d. before 1221. leaving issue. Stapleton in the Rot. Aoj-mi. (ii. 19 . retracts the opinion he had formerly given (ill the Hist, of /,<«•«/■ Abbey) as to Kla having two sisters of the whole blood. See the article by " Tewars "' mentioned on p. 29, note '* a." ( c ) The Book of Laeoek relates that she was brought over from Normandy (where she was being educated) by an English Knight named William Talbot who "disguised himself as a pilgrim for that purpose. ( d ; This is the date given in the Book of Lneock. but, according to a chronicle (Cotton MSS., Vitell, A. VUI.), cited by Uugdale, it was IS April (XIV. ICal. Maii), 1261. (°) The name had belonged to his Royal father's remote ancestor. William, Huke of Normandy, slain in 913, as also to the Conqueror's grandson, William. Count of Inlanders, son of Robert, Duke of Normandy. "The six rampant lions of yold on an azure field, as displayed on his [the Karl's] shield in the cathedral [of Salisbury] are the same which are seen in an enamelled tablet representing his grandfather, Ueollrey, Cointe of Anjou, which is engraved ill Stothard's Monumental Effigitt" [Nichols's " Salisbury " as on p. 29, note " a."] ( f ) See " Xnt. JHoyr." under " Cliilord," as to this very doubtful point. (8) This has often been confounded with Appleby, CO Westmorland, an ancient inheritance of the Clifford family, and been cousidere 1, accordingly, as a proof of descent from that family. <*) In like manner "the heiress of the Earldom of Gloucester was [1119] given by King Henry I. to his natural son, Robert; and the heiress of the Warrens, Earls of Surrey, was bestowed first [IMS] on an illegit. son of King Stephen, and afterwards [1163| on a base brother of King Henry II."
