Semi famous figure in Irish history is half missing from the game. While a Richard De Clare does exist in the history files, his character only seems to exist in any capacity for a few months in 1176 as earl(count) of Ossory, prior to that he's in the court of the earl of Bedford. However his character entry doesn't lead to his wikipedia entry and furthermore, he doesn't seem to own anything prior to that, when in fact he was earl of Pembroke (which most closely corresponds to Dyfed, whose capital ingame is Pembroke) from 1148-1154, afterwhich he was stripped of his title by Henry II, and then had a fortress somewhere in Gwent province. His father, Gilbert de Clare also occupied Pembroke from 1138 to his death in 1148. He was also born in 1130, not 1122 ingame.

"Strongbow" as he is known, is a fairly famous figure (at least in Ireland), it would be good if the circumstances existed in the 1169 to perform the Norman Conquest of Ireland, unfortunately ingame this is not possible because the main norman figure, Strongbow, is not playable due to holding no fiefs, also Diarmait Mac Murchada, whose claim was being enforced, still holds his fief in Leinster, when he should be in exile, and in Strongbow's court. Strongbow is, correctly, married to his daughter though, however part of the agreement he made with Diarmait was that he would be his heir, which is not really represented (though I suppose he could be given a claim on Leinster).

Since he's already defined in the history files (204770,and correctly with a martial bent), it shouldn't be too hard to give him an appropriate role.

I've heard of him and Im english. I think that its as important to have him in it as it is to have William the Conquerer as Strongbow was the whole reason the English were in Ireland in the first place it forced Henry II to take action to become Lord of Ireland and had a great effect on Ireland's history for over 800 years.
