590. Earl Roger De Clare III was born in 1115 in Tunbridge Castle, Kent, England. He died in 1173 in Oxfordshire, England. Roger, 3rd Earl of Hertford, also bore the title of Earl of Clare, but Hornby observes that this meant only Earl at Clare, for his Earldom was certainly at Hertford. In 3rd of Henry II this nobleman, having obtained permission from the King to own all the lands in Wales that he could win, marched into Caerdigan and captured and fortified the castles there. This Earl, who, from his munificence to the church and his numerous acts of piety, was called the "Good Earl of Hertford." Earl of Hertford 1153-1173. In 1164 he assisted with the Constitutions of Clarendon. Because of his munificence to the Church and his acts of piety, he was called "good Earl of Hertford."
