Biography
Philip de Clanvowe was the son of William ap Hywel ap Meurig.[1] His ancestry is given in a contemporary inquisition regarding unpaid fees for his position as the hereditary reeve in the Mortimer manor of Gladestry.[2] This document does not give the name of his father, but does name his uncle Philip ap Hywel, grandfather Hywel ap Meurig, and great-grandfather Meurig ap Philip. His father as William ap Hywel is given by Bartum. Though clear contemporary evidence seems lacking, his father as William ap Hywel fits very well with the known histories of the sons Hywel ap Meurig. Stephenson in his study of the family concurs with this identification.[3] There are several other constructions for his ancestry beyond Meurig ap Philip in the Welsh genealogies, all of which are chronologically impossible.
His name as Philip de Clanvowe occurs from his earliest records. Why he used this name, and why he did not use the Welsh patronymic system like the rest of his family is not known. There have been a number of suggestions, none of which are convincing.
The earliest notice of Philip de Clanvowe is when he had to be pardon in 1313 for his potential involvement in the death of [[Gaveston-1|Piers de Gaveston].[4][5] It is likely he was in the retinue of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford when Gaveston was killed. In 1321, he was pardoned for actions against the Despensers, though his arrest was ordered in February 1322.[6] Humphrey de Bohun was killed at the Battle of Boroughbridge on the rebel side, however, Philip de Clanvowe appears to have avoided being drawn into the Despenser War as he was a Member of Parliament for Herefordshire in 1322.[7] He received a special summons to parliament in 1337 and was MP in 1339 and 1340.[8]
He married Philippa de Baskerville, the daughter of Richard de Baskerville of Eardisley. She is frequently called Philippa Talbot or Philippa de Bredwardine - please see her profile for why these are wrong. They were married by 14 May 1318 when her father settled the manor of Yazor on Philip and Philippa de Clanvowe for the sum of one rose; this gift was dependent on them having children or the manor would revert back to Richard and his right heirs.[9] These terms are typical for a father giving property to a daughter.
