• Notes

  5th Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Striguil and Lord of Leinster. Walter was the fourth of five sons and the fifth of ten children of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, and one of the wealthiest heiresses in the kingdom. He was the grandson of John FitzGilbert, the Marshal of England, and Alice Pipard, Richard Strongbow de Clare and Aoife of Leinster. Walter was the husband of Margaret de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln, the only daughter and child of Robert de Quincy and Hawise of Chester, and granddaughter of Saher de Quincy, the Earl of Winchester and one of the 25 sureties of the Magna Carta. She was also the widow of John de Lacy, the Earl of Lincoln and mother of Maud and Edmund the Earl of Pontefract. Walter and Margaret were married 06 January 1242, and had no children. After William Marshal's death in 1219, the earldom of Pembroke passed in succession to Walter's three elder brothers, William, Richard, and Gilbert, all of whom died childless and without male heirs. Gilbert was killed at a tournament on 27 June 1241 when his horse threw him and his foot caught in the stirrups. Walter was present at the tournament and witnessed his brother's death. He did not succeed to his titles until 1242 due to King Henry III's anger towards Walter for having disobeyed royal orders which had forbidden tournaments on the grounds that he did not want any of his subjects killing one another in sport. Walter who had attended the tournament which had killed Gilbert shared in his brother's guilt, so had to wait a year before he was invested with the earldom and hereditary post of Earl Marshal. That same year he accompanied King Henry to Gascony. Walter died suddenly at Goodrich Castle and the earldom passed to the younger son, Anselm Marshal, 6th Earl of Pembroke, who followed him to the grave childless a month later and the title became extinct. Walter's widow received a third of the Pembroke holdings and her wealth outweighed the five Marshal daughters combined. Only one other woman in that era was considered to be as strong an individual - Ela, Countess of Salisbury. [Sources: Wikipedia and Find A Grave; text copied from the latter, 3 July 2017 - D. V.
