Family history Duke of Clarence

Duke of Clarence – The History of the House of Clarence

The name Clarence is one of the most traditional titles in England. Its history began in 1362 when King Edward III elevated his son Lionel of Antwerp to the title of Duke of Clarence. The name derived from the Honour of Clare, a large estate complex that Lionel had inherited through his marriage to Elizabeth de Burgh. As a royal governor in Ireland, he combined noble status with practical government experience. His only daughter, Philippa, married Edmund Mortimer; through this connection, Lionel's lineage later became significant for the claim to the throne of the House of York.

Im 15. Jahrhundert verlieh Heinrich IV. den Titel seinem Sohn Thomas of Lancaster. Thomas begleitete seinen Bruder Heinrich V. auf dessen Feldzügen in Frankreich, führte zeitweise die englischen Truppen und galt als tatkräftiger Vertreter der lancastrischen Königsfamilie. Nach seiner letzten Schlacht bei Baugé 1421 kehrte der Titel an die Krone zurück.

Eine besonders farbenreiche Episode begann 1461 mit George Plantagenet, dem jüngeren Bruder Eduards IV. Durch seine Ehe mit Isabel Neville, der Tochter des mächtigen Earl of Warwick, stand Clarence mitten im politischen Schauspiel der Rosenkriege. Ehrgeiz, wechselnde Bündnisse und höfische Rivalitäten machten ihn zu einer der bekanntesten Gestalten seiner Zeit. Seine Kinder Margaret Pole und Edward of Warwick bewahrten die Clarence-Abstammung in der nächsten Generation.

Später erschien der Titel erneut im Haus Hannover. König Georg III. verlieh ihn 1789 seinem Sohn William. Der frühere Marineoffizier ließ Clarence House errichten und bestieg 1830 als Wilhelm IV. den britischen Thron. Mit seinem Regierungsantritt ging die Herzogswürde in der Krone auf. Damit schließt sich ein weiter Bogen: von den Plantagenets über Lancaster und York bis zu einem König des 19. Jahrhunderts. Clarence blieb als Name für königlichen Dienst, dynastische Verbindungen und große Wendepunkte der englischen Geschichte lebendig.
