- Nature of request
- Clare shows that the Clare lands, manors and castles in Ireland were destroyed by his Irish enemies. Clares kinsmen and friends are still defending them though they can do no more without aid and some expenses for them. He therefore requests that the king grant him his lands in Ireland so that he is able to have and defend them as the king is not able to have any profit from them, the second part of his inheritance is in the hands of Emeline Longspee, Isabel de Hastings and Joan de Clare as dower, he requests Maurice son of Thomas and Maurice de Rocheford be made his guardians.
