who attended his funeral, and Matthew Paris tells us, that when the king saw the dead body covered with the mournful pall, he heaved a deep sigh, and was greatly affected.* The manors, castles, estates, and possessions of this powerful nobleman in England, Wales, Ireland, and Normandy, were immense. He gave extensive forest lands to the monks of Tinterne in Wales ; he founded the monastery of ïriars preachers in Dublin, and to the Templars he gave the church of Westone with all its appurtenances, and granted and confirmed to them the borough of Baudac, the estate of Langenache, with various lauds, windmills, and villeins of the soil.f GILHERT MABsnALL, EARL OF PEMBHOKE, brother to the above, and third son of the Protector, succeeded to the earldo.n and the vast estates of his ancestors on the melancholy murder in Ireland of his gallant brother Richard, " the flower of the chivalry of that time," (A. D. 1234.) The year after his accession to the title he married Margaret, the daughter of the king of Scotland, who is desribed by Matthew Paris as " a most elegant girl,"J and received with her a splendid dowry. In the year 1236 he assumed the cross, and joined the king's brother, the earl of Cornwall, in the promotion of a Crusade to the Holy Land. Matthew Paris gives a long account of an absurd quarrel which broke out between this earl of Pembroke and king Henry • EodetTj tempore, A.
