Biography
Isabel (Vipont) de Clifford was a member of aristocracy in the British Isles.
Name
Isabel de Vipont,[1] also de Veteripont[2] and de Vieuxpont[3]
Isabel's date of birth is unknown, but she was said on 15 June 1269 to be of age (though the meaning of that in the case of girls is unclear). Citing this date, Richardson uses 18 as "of age", giving her birth year as "say 1251." [4]
Family
Parents: Isabel de Vipont's father was Robert de Vipont of Appleby and her mother was Isabel, daughter of John fitz Geoffrey (often called "Isabel FitzJohn") married after 19 November 1242. [5]
Isabel had one sister, Idoine, wife of Roger de Leyburn and of Sir John de Cromwell; dsp.
Inheritance
Isabel became sole heiress (in her issue) when her sister died s.p.
1265 Marriage to Roger de Clifford
Roger de Clifford, son and heir apparent (but dvp[6]) of Sir Roger de Clifford of Tenbury, Worcs, by his 1st wife Maud; married shortly after 28 June 1265[7] Roger de Clifford had previously been married to Maud, widow of Hugh de Gournay. [4]
1277 Assize
In 1277-78 Roger de Clifford, his wife Isabel, and Roger de Leyburn and Idione his wife arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against Richard de la Vache touching a messuage and land in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire. [4]
Deaths
Roger de Clifford was drowned while crossing a bridge of boats near the Menai Straits in Wales 6 Nov 1282. His widow, Isabel, died testate shortly before 14 May 1292.[4]
Burial: Shap Abbey (Abbey of St. Mary Magdalene), Shap, Cumbria (Westmorland), England
Disputed Marriage to Richard Whitfield
While Richardson[4] has no mention of a second husband for Isabel, another source does. [8] . A second marriage is not contradicted by the facts. There is a ten year window between the death of Roger de Clifford and the death of Isabel during which a second marriage could have taken place, and Threlfall's assertion is that such a marriage did indeed take place between Isabel and Richard Whitfield. [8]
Threlfall asserts that Isable and Richard Whitfield had a child, Robert Whitfield[8]
Adding credibility to this assertion is that about 1307 Robert Whitfield was joint signatory with his brother granting lands in Alston, Cumberland to Ivo de Veteriponte (Vipont), and Richard was Lord of Whitfield in 1352.[8]
Since Isabel died with a will, an examination of the will should clarify whether at the time of her death she was wife of Roger de Clifford or Richard Whitfield.
Inquisition after the Death of Roger de Clifford
After Robert de Veteripont died from his wounds received in battle, 1264?[5,] fighting on behalf of the earl of Leicester and the barons against Henry III, the king seized his vast possessions, but, on the intercession of Edward his son, he restored them to Robert's two heiresses? Isabella a girl of ten years and Idonea of six or seven years of age. The king, however, by reason of their youth, committed them to the custody of his two influential friends ?Roger de Clifford of Clifford Castle in Herefordshire and Roger de Leyburn of the county of Kent. And with heiresses in their wardship, holding such vast possessions, it was only natural that marriages to their respective heirs would be arranged quickly. [9]
In the meantime the two guardians endeavoured to come to an agreement as to the division of the estates between the two girls, an agreement that was confirmed when Roger de Clifford, the younger, married Isabella. They were to have the manor of Brougham; a moiety of the manors of Marton, Appleby, Winton and Brough; a moiety of the forests of Whinfell and Mallerstang; three parts of the manor of Meaburn Regis and a moiety of the profits of the Sheriffwick. [9]
On the other hand Idonea was to have the castle of Brough; a moiety of the four manors as above; the manor of Kirkby Stephen; the castle of Mallerstang; a fourth part of the manor of Meaburn Regis, a moiety of the two forests as above; and a moiety of the profits of the Sheriffwick. That Idonea was to have the two castles of Brough and Mallerstang seems to imply that Isabella was to have the two castles of Appleby and Brougham. [9]
Unfortunately both young husbands died within a year of one another, in 1282 and 1283, and the following is the Inquisition taken after the death of Roger de Clifford. [9]

Appendix: Detail of Inquisition Post Mortem
The following is the Inquisition taken after the death of Roger de Clifford. [9]
Inquisition taken at Appleby before the King's Escheator, Thomas de Normanvill, on Saturday after Hilary, 11 Edward 1, 1282, by John de Halton and others as jurors, as to what lands Roger de Clifford, junior, held of his proper heritage and what of the heritage of Isabella his wife.
They say that he held of the heritage of the said Isabella by the service of two knights:?
The manor of Brougham, worth yearly ¹15. 11. 7.
the moiety of the manor of Marton, worth yearly ¹13. 3. 5¼
the moiety of the manor of Appleby, worth yearly ¹27. 5. 3¼
three parts of the manor of Meaburn Regis, worth yearly ¹37. 14. 8¼
the moiety of the manor of Winton, worth yearly ¹24. 2. 3¼
the moiety of the manor of Brough with the herbage of Stainmoor, worth yearly ¹70. 13. 0;
the moiety of the forest of Quinfell as well in herbage as agistment, wood sold and other issues, worth yearly ¹23. 3. 3½
the moiety of the forest of Mallerstang worth yearly ¹22. 3. 9;
a service called cornage received as well from knights as other free tenants, worth yearly ¹13. 11. 4, rents from the same, worth yearly ¹2. 15. 7¾, and the shrievalty of the county worth yearly ¹3. 6. 8.
A total of ¹253 10. 11¼.
His first born son Robert is his heir aged nine years at Easter.
Of the fees of knights and free tenants and advowsons of churches, which he held of the inheritance of Isabella, the jurors say nothing, for they have not been divided between her and her sister Idonea wife of Roger de Leyburn, the coheiress of Robert de Veteripont.
(Chanc. Inq. p. mortem, 11 Edw. I, file 35, n. 5.)
His widow, Isabella, survived her husband about eight years, and sat personally in court and executed the office of Sheriff. She died however in 1291 at the age of 37 years. Idonea lived many years after and married a second husband but died without issue, so that the whole Veteripont inheritance became vested in the heirs of Isabella and Roger de Clifford.
Inquest taken after the death of Isabel de Clifford, one of the daughters and heirs of Robert de Veteripont, taken at Appleby on Friday after St. Barnabas the Apostle, 20 Edw. I, 1291, before the King's Escheator beyond the Trent, as to what the said Isabel held of the king in chief and what of others, in co. Westmorland the day that she died. The jurors say on oath that the said Isabel held the castle of Appleby with a moiety of the profits of the county of the king in chief, whose issues are not sufficient to sustain the castle, sheriff, his clerks, the constable, porter and other ministers of the same, also in the same vill of Appleby certain land worth yearly 117 shillings.
