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. (fn.
26) On his death c. 1216 it descended to his son John, (fn.
27) who in 1230 leased the manor for five years. (fn.
28) It was held by his widow Ada in 1241. (fn.
29) Their son Roger died in 1249, leaving a son Robert, (fn.
30) who held the manor (fn.
31) until his death in 1310, when he was succeeded by his son John,
(fn.
32) who took the surname of Clavering after the family's chief seat
in Essex. (fn.
33) 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.
(fn.

Roger fitz Richard died, apparently not
long after his father the constable of Chester, in 1178. His heir,
Robert fitz Roger, did not come of age till 1191, and during the reign
of Coeur-de-Lion (from whom he received a grant of the manor of Eure in
Buckinghamshire) resided chiefly in Norfolk, where he possessed large
estates through marrying the heiress of William de Chesney, lord of
Horsford. In Norfolk he founded in 1198 the abbey of St. Mary of
Langley, which he filled with Præmonstratensian canons from Alnwick.
N In July, 1199, King John confirmed to him the castle and
manor of Warkworth for the consideration of 300 marks,
N and he seems about this time to have transferred his
activity to Northumberland, of which he became sheriff in 1203, a very
lucrative post under an administration like that of John. A favourite of
the king, he received grants of the manor of Corbridge in 1204 and of
the manors of Newburn and Rothbury in 1205.
