  Clifford - LoveToKnow 1911
CLIFFORD, the name of a famous English family and barony, taken from the village of Clifford in Herefordshire, although the family were mainly associated with the north of England.
His son Roger, the 2nd baron (1299-1322), shared in the rebellion of Thomas, earl of Lancaster, and was probably executed at York on the 23rd of March 1322.
The barony of Clifford of Lanesborough was held by the Boyles from 1644 to 1753, and the Devonshire branch of the family still holds the barony of Clifford of Chudleigh, which was created in 1672.

 Thomas Clifford, 1st baron Clifford of Chudleigh - LoveToKnow 1911
THOMAS CLIFFORD CLIFFORD OF CHUDLEIGH, 1ST Baron (1630-1673), English lord treasurer, a member of the ancient family of Clifford, descended from Walter de Clifford of Clifford Castle in Herefordshire, was the son of Hugh Clifford of Ugbrook near Exeter, and of Mary, daughter of Sir George Chudleigh of Ashton, Devonshire.
On the 16th of February 1663 Clifford obtained the reversion of a tellership in the exchequer, and in 1664, on the outbreak of the Dutch war, was appointed commissioner for the care of the sick, wounded and prisoners, with a salary of £1200.
Clifford was an ardent Roman Catholic, a supporter of the royal prerogative and of the French alliance.

 Baron de Clifford@Everything2.com
The Cliffords are descended from a Norman adventurer named Richard Fitz Pons who appears as one of the supporters of Bernard of Neufmarche during his incursions into the Welsh kingdom of Brycheiniog in the years 1088 to 1093 and later took possession of Cantref Bychan in the Tywi Valley.
Thomas, 8th Baron was killed fighting on the Lancastrian side at the battle of St Albans on the 22nd May 1445, and a similar fate befell his heir John, 9th Baron who was killed by a stray arrow on the 28th March 1461 on the eve of the battle of Towton.
Naturally the Cliffords prospered with the ultimate victory of the Lancastrian cause and Henry, 11th Baron found himself promoted in the ranks of the peerage when he was created the Earl of Cumberland on the 18th June 1525.

 Lady Anne Clifford
Lady Anne Clifford was the eldest surviving child of Baron George Clifford and Lady Margaret Russell, and was the heir to an extensive barony in the north-west of England because of the original documents issued during the reign of Edward II.
Clifford's father, however, willed the estate to his brother and his male line, with the condition that it would revert to his daughter only if there were no male heirs.
Anne Clifford wrote at least four autobiographical tracts at different stages in her life, all of which were intended, at least in part, to justify her legal and moral claim on her inheritance.

THOMAS DE CLIFFORD, 8TH BARON CLIFFORD, was the son of John, seventh baron Clifford, by his wife Elizabeth, who, according to Dugdale, was the daughter of Harry Hotspur.

 Bronllys Castle
The lordship of Cantref Selyf and its administrative center at Bronllys remained in the Clifford family (the surname was adopted by Richard's son, Walter) until the early 14th century.
The Cliffords were required to pay knight's fee for the right to own the castle and its surrounding estates, and when necessary, the lord of Cantref Selyf paid the Lord of Brecon the sum of five and a half armored horses (according to Smith and Knight, 1981) plus provided a number of soldiers.
Finally, in 1384, Bronllys Castle was granted to the de Bohun heiress, Mary, and her husband, Henry, Earl of Derby, son of John of Gaunt.

 Rotherham Web:The Clifford family connection with Conisbrough
Clifford accompanied the royal army that confronted Richard Plantagenet, duke of York, at Dartford in 1452, and he supported Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland, and his sons in their ongoing quarrel with Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury, and his sons in the mid-1450s.
Clifford’s death at the hands of the Yorkists had an important effect on the Wars of the Roses, for it turned his son, John Clifford, ninth Lord Clifford, into a staunch supporter of the house of Lancaster and a bitter personal enemy of York and the Neville family.
Clifford was described as being so bitter about his father’s fate that “the sight of any of the house of York was as a fury to torment his soul”.

 Richard Fitz Pons (person)@Everything2.com
As a result Richard is sometimes described as the baron or lord of Clifford, which is technically incorrect as Clifford actually belonged to de Tosny, but since Richard's descendants later assumed the lordship of Clifford at the expense of the de Tosny family this is understandable.
Together they had two sons, the elder Simon Fitz Richard who was knighted sometime before the year 1129, and Walter known as Walter de Clifford, the ancestor of the Clifford family and the original line of the Baron de Clifford.
