Rohese de Clare (bef. 1166) was a member of the wealthy and powerful de Clare 
family and a strong patron of Monmouth Priory.
Life[edit]
Rohese was a daughter of Gilbert Fitz Richard de Clare and Adeliza de Clermont.[1] In 
c.?1130, she married Baderon fitzWilliam of Monmouth.[2] Her father being already 
dead by that date,[3] the wedding was celebrated at Striguil Castle (Chepstow), 
stronghold of her brother Gilbert fitzGilbert de Clare, who gave the bride away.[2]

Rohese is most notable for her generosity to Monmouth Priory beginning soon after her 
marriage. As a married woman she acted through her husband, who records in the 
charter that the gifts were made "by myself and my wife, at her request ... at the Feast 
of All Saints on the same day on which she was married to me at Striguil".[4] The gift 
was put into effect "on the Feast of St. Martin next following" at a ceremony at 
Monmouth attended by Rohese's brothers Walter and Gilbert and by Gilbert's wife 
Isabel de Beaumont[4] (a former mistress of Henry I[5]). The gift consisted of a tithe of 
the regular revenues of the town of Monmouth, to be paid in installments three times 
each year.[4] In 1144 Rohese and Baderon made further donations to Monmouth 
Priory.[6]
