Biography

Margaret was the daughter of Sir John Clinton, 3rd Baron Clinton, Constable of Warwick Castle and Idonea de Say.^[1][2][3] Her birth date is uncertain, but her parents probably married in 1350,^[3][4] and so she is likely to have been born after that year.

She married Sir Baldwin de Montfort, son of Sir John de Montfort and Joan de Clinton.^[1][2][5] Their son William was of age in 1396, pointing to his birth date being about 1375,^[1][2] and William had an elder brother called John, so the marriage almost certainly took place before 1374. They had 4 sons & 1 daughter:^[1][2]

• Thomas^[1][2]

Margaret (Clinton) de Montfort appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Thomas Booth to Magna Carta Surety Baron Robert FitzWalter (vol. I, pages 258-261 BOOTH). This trail, set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile, was project-approved/badged in April 2016 by a Magna Carta project member.

Margaret (Clinton) de Montfort is also in a badged trail to FitzWalter from Gateway Ancestor Obadiah Bruen. See the Magna Carta Trails on John Bruen's profile to view the profiles in this trail.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
