Research notes
✓ DOCUMENTED (web-confirmed 24 Aug 2026, standard accounts): m. (1) Maud de Clifford - Eleanor was hers. ⚠ Do NOT confuse GIFFARD OF BRIMPSFIELD (this baronial house) with Giffard/Gifford of ITCHELL, Hants (the gentry family whose 'door' was closed as a graft-trap 8 Aug 2026) - different families entirely. His Giffard ascent (Elias Giffard line of Brimpsfield) left a floor. Added 24 Aug 2026.
