We study various kinds of Grassmannians or Lagrangian Grassmannians over ℝ, ℂ or ℍ, all of which can be expressed as \mathbbG/ℙ where \mathbbG is a classical group and ℙ is a parabolic subgroup of \mathbbG with abelian unipotent radical. The same Grassmannians can also be realized as (classical) compact symmetric spaces G/K. We give explicit generators and relations for the de Rham cohomology rings of \mathbbG/ℙ≅ G/K. At the same time we describe certain filtered deformations of these rings, related to Clifford algebras and spin modules. While the cohomology rings are of our primary interest, the filtered setting of K-invariants in the Clifford algebra actually provides a more conceptual framework for the results we obtain.
