The House of Clifford by Hugh Clifford PDF Summary

Book Description: "Cliffords throughout the world will welcome the appearance of this authoritative volume, whose compilation, as the author makes clear in his introduction, has involved many distinguished contributors as well as himself. The book begins by tracing the medieval barons of Clifford from before the Conquest, and the generations who became masters first of the barony of Clifford and then of extensive estates in Westmorland and elsewhere. The Clifford lords played a central role in national and local history, a tradition which was continued into the Tudor and Stuart periods. The story of Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke and Montgomery, was a particularly fascinating episode. The history of the author's own line, the Cliffords of Chudleigh, is also traced in detail: the account of the secret negotations between Charles II and King Louis XIV will perhaps be of particular interest"--Front flyleaf. Some descendants and relatives immigrated to Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and else- where. Includes some ancestry in pre-Conquest Normandy and elsewhere in Europe.
