1 " The name Eure comes from the manor of Iver, Bucks which manor had been granted to his grandfather Robert FitzRoger" b .
2 IVER: Evreham (xi cent.); Eure, Evere (xii–xvi
cent.).
The manor then passed into the hands of the Claverings, being granted in
1199–1200 to Robert son of Roger, the first of this family to hold it.
On his death c. 1216 it descended to his son John, who in 1230
leased the manor for five years. It was held by his widow Ada in
1241. Their son Roger died in 1249, leaving a son Robert,
who held the manor until his death in 1310, when he was succeeded
by his son John, who took the surname of Clavering after the family's
chief seat in Essex. John Clavering had no direct male heir, and
so in 1311 settled Iver on himself and his wife Hawise for life with
reversion to the king. John Clavering lived until about 1332, and
his wife Hawise survived him.
