⚑ May combine several people — entries span 189 years; separation in progress

“William de Sancto Claro” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 109 entries stay pooled here.

The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1290 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened), yet 38 entries carry later dates — some will be posthumous estate business, the rest another man.

Beyond the rolls: Wikidatalikely
Suggested by name and dates against Wikidata, which carries the Oxford DNB id. A record that conflates same-named kin can match more than one entity, so these are leads to verify, not asserted identities.

Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Sancto Claro (e.g. Warenna/Warenne, Conestable/Constable). They are kept separate on purpose, some look-alikes are genuinely different families (Clare vs Claver). If you are sure two are one family, tell us to merge them.
