A daughter of Richard "Strongbow" Fitz Gilbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, married Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster[1] in 1171. Their daughter, Maud, was born a year or two later.[2][3]
Wikipedia calls her illegitimate and names her Basilia.[5]
Husband: Richardson and Wikipedia list only one husaband for her: Robert de Quincy (Quenci in Wikipedia).[2][5]
It appears that online trees give her additional husbands - her aunt's, who married twice: (1) in 1174 to Raymond Fitz William, who died in 1186; (2) Geoffrey Fitz Robert, as his first wife.[4][6] (WikiTree's profile for her first husband is misnamed, calling him "FitzGerald".)
A Rootsweb entry for "Basile de Clare" is an example:[7]
Robert de Quincy
Raymon FitzWilliam Carew "on AFT 1172"
Geoffrey FitzRobert "on AFT 1188"
Another online tree had similar extra husbands and gives a date for her first marriage:
Robert de Quincy in Leinster, 1169
Raymond Fitzgerald in 1174
Geoffrey Fitzrobert in 1188

↑ 5.05.1 From her father's Wikipedia page. The entry for her (and her sister Aline) cited Cokayne, but the citation does not mention them. Cokayne's information is cited to support that they were illegitimate: "That both she and her unnamed sister were illegitimate is indicated by the fact that neither inherited anything from their father's great holdings. See: Cokayne, CP, X, Appendix H, 103".

Darlene, in this profile Basilia Clare appears as married to Robert Quincy (Quincy-311). But Maud Quincy (Quincy-237) appears as daughter of her with another Robert Quincy (Quincy-78).
c) daughter . Regans "Song of Dermot and the Earl" records that "Richard the renowned earl went to the city of Ferns" and "married his daughter to Robert de Quency"[1478]. m (1171) ROBERT de Quenci Constable of Leinster, son of --- (-killed in battle Offaly 1171 or after).
fmg/MedLands shows Richard Strongbow's SISTER Basilia married Raymond
FitzGerald in 1174 and maybe married (2) Geoffrey FitzRobert (-1211).
Richardson shows Richard's unnamed daughter married Robert de Quincy. (See Richard's profile.)
But the timing does make it seem that it could have been the same woman who married all three. MedLands shows that Robert de Quenci who married Richard's unnamed daughter was "killed in battle Offaly 1171 or later".
Is that correct?
I've detached Raymond FitzGerald. Shall we create a profile for Raymond son of William de Carew?
