Hever Castle in Kent, father of Queen Anne Boleyn, and Clement's career suffered after the queen's execution in 1536 and the downfall of her family. Imprisoned in Fleet In 1534, following conviction in the Star Chamber, he was imprisoned in the Fleet for having used force, in his capacity as a justice of the peace for Kent, during a property dispute in Shipbourne between the rector and Robert Brenner of Hadlow, a servant of Sir Edward Guildford (father-in-law of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland). Clement had expelled Brenner with the assistance of a force of 200 men he had raised for the purpose, but the Star Chamber found that he was at fault for not having enquired sufficiently into the case before resorting to force. Clement appears to have been acting against the Guildford faction, formerly the pre-eminent family in Kent until replaced by the Boleyns. Marriages & issue He married twice, but had no legitimate issue: Firstly, at some time before 1510, to Anne Catesby (d.1528), a daughter of Sir William Catesby of Ashby St Ledgers in Northamptonshire and a sister of Sir William Catesby (1450-1485) (one of King Richard III's principal councillors, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Speaker of the House of Commons) and widow of Robert Whittlebury of Milton in Northamptonshire; without issue; Secondly, before 1530, he married Anne Barley (or Barlee) (died 1557/8), widow successively of Sir Robert Sheffield of Butterwick, Lincolnshire, Speaker of the House of Commons and then (as his second wife) of Sir John Grey (will dated 1523) (a younger son of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and a brother of Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset (d.1530), a favourite of King Henry VIII), whose first wife had been Elizabeth Catesby (sister of Anne Catesby, Clement's first wife), widow of Roger Wake (d.1504) of Blisworth, Northamptonshire, and a daughter of Sir William Catesby of Ashby St Ledgers in Northamptonshire. Without issue. Illegitimate daughters He had three illegitimate daughters: Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Lovelace of Kingsdown; Anne, wife of Ralph Bosville of Bradbourne; Margaret, wife of Nicholas Edwards of Withyham in Sussex. Death & burial He died in 1538, between 28 October and 2 December, and was buried in Ightham Church, where survives the upper fragment of his monumental brass, which shows his coat of arms upright in an inverted shield, to indicate his death, an unusual depiction.
