He was the son of Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester, and Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I.  The older Gilbert died when his son was only four years old, and the younger Gilbert was invested with his earldoms at the young age of sixteen.

He was one of the Lords Ordainers who ordered the expulsion of the king's favourite Piers Gaveston in 1311.  When Gaveston was killed on his return in 1312, Gloucester helped negotiate a settlement between the perpetrators and the king.
