Daughter of Sir Gilbert de Clare Earl of Hertford and Lady Isabel Marshall. Granddaughter of Richard de Clare Earl of Hertford and Amice FitzRobert, William Marshall Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare.

Isabel was married to Robert de Brus, the 5th Lord of Annandale on the 12th of May 1240, with a dowry that included the village of Ripe, Sussex. Isabel and Robert had six children:
* Robert, 6th Lord of Annandale & Earl of Carrick

* Richard who died before 1287
* Isabella, wife of Sir John FitzMarmaduke
* Constance, wife of Sir William Scot de Calverly

Isabel's husband was a candidate for the throne of Scotland but his rival, John Balliol, was elected King in 1292. When After Isabel's death in 1264, King John died in 1314, and Isabel's grandson, Robert the Bruce, became King of Scotland. Isabel's husband would marry a second time to Christina de Ireby but have no issue.

Note: Isabel has been left where her memorial originator placed her, but I will continue to search for documentation as to her burial.
