Richard de Clare is a cavalry hero found in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. He is based on a Welsh-Norman lord notable for his leading role in the Norman invasion of Ireland.
In-game, he has the appearance of a Light Cavalry. Like other cavalry units, Richard de Clare is affected by all upgrades that affect cavalry as well as any other bonuses that affect them. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health. Apart from hit points, his statistics are very low for a hero unit. He has no armor, which is very rare for a cavalry unit, let alone a cavalry hero.
