_The De Clares_ (Vol. v., p. 261.).--I am sorry that I am unable to give
your correspondents, MR. GRAVES of Kilkenny, and E. H. Y., any
information on the subject of the De Clares. The pedigree from which I
quoted is not one of that family, but merely contains some few of them;
introduced, as I said before, among the "præclarissimæ affinitates." The
arms of Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, are brought into the shield of
quarterings through the well-known line of Marshall, De Braose,
Cantelupe, La Zouche, and thence through Burdet and Ashbye; nor, with
the exceptions of the last three, is there much mention of each family,
but merely what is necessary to show their descent.
