Maud de Clare was the eldest daughter of Thomas de Clare, 1st Lord Thomond, 1st Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal, Lord of Bunratty Castle (1245-1287) and Juliana FitzGerald (1236-1290). She married two times. Her first marriage was to Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, 1st Lord of Skipton (1274-1314) on 3 November 1295 by which she had four children. Her second marriage was to Sir Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron de Wells, Constable of Pendragon Castle (1297–1326) on 16 Nov 1315. They had no children.
Maud de Clare had an unfortunate life full of drama and controversy. In 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn both her husband Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, and her nephew Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Gloucester, 7th Earl of Hertford, 10th Lord of Clare, 5th Lord of Glamorgan (1291-1314) were both killed in battle. Her second marriage to Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron Welles was done without royal license and this angered the King of England. She was initially the co-heiress to her nephew's estates along with her sister, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere before the King issued the estates to Lord de Clare's three sisters.
Maud de Clare and her sister Margaret were the next heirs of their father's estate which included the Stewardship of the Forest of Essex, the town and castle at Thomond, and numerous other properties in Ireland.
