Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Geoffrey de Clinton (d. c. 1134) was an Anglo-Norman noble, chamberlain and treasurer to King Henry I of England. He was foremost amongst the men king Henry "raised from the dust". He married Lescelina Clinton''s family origins are a little obscure. The surname probably derives from the village of Glympton in Oxfordshire. though the family ultimately derived from Saint-Pierre-de-Semilly (Manche, arr. St. Lô, canton St.-Clair) in western Normandy. It appears that Clinton spent some years as a minor official of the king''s, until the 1118 fall of the treasurer Herbert camerarius, who was accused of plotting against the king. By 1120 Clinton had taken his place. Not too long afterwards Clinton was appointed sheriff of Warwickshire (by 1121), to act as counterweight to the Earl of Warwick, Roger de Beaumont, who Henry I did not trust. The 1122 rebellion of Roger''s cousin Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester increased the king''s suspicions still further, and he compelled Roger to grant Clinton a substantial part of his Warwickshire domains.
