Elizabeth de Clare, 11th Lady of Clare (16 September 1295 – 4 November 1360) was the heiress to the lordships of Clare, Suffolk, in England and Usk in Wales.[5] She was the youngest of the three daughters of Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford and Joan of Acre,[6] and sister of Gilbert de Clare, who later succeeded as the 7th Earl.[7] She is often referred to as Elizabeth de Burgh (English: /dəˈbɜːr/ də-BUR), due to her first marriage to John de Burgh. Her two successive husbands were Theobald II de Verdun (of the Butler-de Verdun family) and Roger d'Amory.[3][4][2][1]
