DNB Main notes for Anselm Marshal Earl of Pembroke
Co-subject: Marshal, Anselm, [sixth and last earl of Pembroke and Striguil]
Dates: d. 1245
Active Date: 1225
Gender: Male
Anselm Marshal d. 1245, the fifth son, then succeeded as sixth earl, but before he could receive investiture died at Striguil (or Chepstow) on 23 Dec. 1245, and was buried by his brother. His wife was Maud, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, second earl of Hereford. Thus the five sons of the great marshal had all been earls of one earldom and died without issue, as their mother is said to have prophesied. Another story ascribed the failure of the family to the curse of the Bishop of Ferns (Matt. Paris, iv. 492-3; cf. Sweetman, i. 823, 825).
