Godfrey Gamage of Monmouth, Wales is "said to have married Joan, daughter of Richard de Clare (Strongbow)".[2]
This G2G post notes only four known children of Richard "Strongbow" - none named Joan. This profile was detached in April 2015 from the profiles for Richard "Strongbow" de Clare (abt.1130-abt.1176) and Aoife (MacMurrough) de Clare (abt.1145-aft.1187).
Detached Profiles: Prior to 26 May 2023, this profile was attached as wife of Godfrey (Gamage) de Gamaches (1176-1253) - a conflated profile that has since been corrected - and mother of Godfrey de Gamage (abt.1196-1253) and Payne de Gamage (1211-). These profiles have all been detached.
