Tuhia tētahi tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I whakaahuatia e Ross ngā whenua o Clifford, e hāngai ana ki Cumberland, Westmorland, Durham me Yorkshire, he mea nui, he mea nui hoki ki te raki. Heoi, kaore ano te 9th Baron kia rite ki etahi o nga whanau tata, penei i nga Darcys. Ko tana whakawhiwhinga i te tau 1461 i aukati i tana tama ki te whiwhi taonga tuku iho, engari i te tau 1470 i peia a Kingi Edward mai i te torona ki te whakarau, a ka hoki a Henry VI ki te torona. Ko te Kawana o Warwick, i hono atu ki te Whare o Lancaster ki a Edward, i te kawenga mo te kawanatanga, a, ko tana tuakana, ko John, Marquess Montagu, i whakawhiwhia ki te kaitiaki o Henry Clifford i a ia e tamariki ana. E kii ana a Summerson he tupono tenei ma Clifford ki te whakahoki mai i tana taonga tuku iho. Heoi, kaore pea he waa ki te tohe i tana kereme, na te mea i mate nga Nevilles e rua i te Pakanga o Barnet
i te 14 o Aperira i te tau e whai ake nei. Ko te wikitoria a Edward IV i Barnet, me te Pakanga o Tewkesbury i etahi wiki i muri mai, i whakangaromia nga toenga o te whakaeke a Lancastrian ka hoki mai a Edward ki te torona. Ahakoa nga hononga a Clifford o Lancastrian, kaore pea ia i raru i tenei wa, i te 16 o Poutu-te-rangi 1472 i whakawhiwhia e Edward ki a ia he murunga kingi. Ahakoa te ngana a te tuakana o Clifford a Thomas ki te whakaara i te whakaekenga pro-Lancastrian i Hartlepool. I whakaaetia a Henry Clifford ki te whiwhi i nga whenua o tana tupuna whaea, a Henry Bromflete, a Lord Vescy - i mate i te tau 1469 - engari kaore ano kia riro i a ia tana taonga tuku iho a Clifford. I tua atu, i te mea e ora tonu ana tona whaea, ko te tuatoru o tana kainga - tona taunaha - i noho ki waho o tana mana tae noa ki tona matenga i te 1493.
