| 6751 | Richard Wright has been claimed to be the son of son of William Wright & Priscilla Carpenter, but this is almost certainly a bogus claim. He was born about 1608 per his age at the time of his death. William Wright came to Plymouth on the Fortune in 1621 as a single man, and was identified as such as late as 1627. William left a will when he died in 1633 and mentioned his wife Priscilla, but no children. Priscilla was baptized in 1598 suggesting a birth about then, which makes her far too young to be the mother of Richard Wright. Richard Wright was married about 1644 to Hester Cooke in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, British Colonial America. She probably died before he did. In his will he named his wife as Mary. He died 9 June 1691 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay British Colonial America. probably buried on Burial Hill, Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay British Colonial America.

| 6752 | Richard, Duke of Burgundy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Richard Duke of Burgundy Born 858 Died 921 Noble family Bivinids Spouse(s) Adelaide of Auxerre Issue Rudolph of France Hugh the Black Boso Ermengard of Burgundy Adelaide of Burgundy Richilde of Burgundy Father Bivin of Gorze Mother Richildis (?) Richard, Duke of Burgundy (858–921), also known as Richard of Autun or Richard the Justiciar, was Count of Autun from 880 and the first Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. He eventually attained suzerainty over all the counties of Burgundy save Mâcon and by 890 he was referred to as dux (duke) and by 900 as marchio (margrave). By 918 he was being called dux Burgundionem or dux Burgundiae, which probably signified less the existence of a unified Burgundian dukedom than feudal suzerainty over a multiplicity of counties in a specific region. Life Richard was a Bosonid, the son of Bivin of Gorze and Richildis. His elder brother was Boso of Provence and his younger sister was Richildis, second wife of Charles the Bald. In 875, after the death of the Emperor Louis II, Richard and Boso accompanied Charles to Italy for his imperial coronation. In February 876, in Pavia, while preparing for his return journey, Charles nominated Boso "Duke and Viceroy of Italy and Duke of Provence". In 877, on Charles' death, Boso returned to France and confided the realm of Italy and the duchy of Provence to Richard and Hugh the Abbot as missi dominici. In 879, Boso declared himself "King of Provence" following the death of Louis the Stammerer, but Richard defected from Boso and took Boso's county of Autun, which Carloman II confirmed to him in 880. The two joined battle on the Saône and Richard captured Mâcon and garrisoned it in the name of Carloman and Louis III under the command of Bernard Plantapilosa, a relative of the hereditary Counts of Mâcon. After taking Lyon, he besieged his brother's capital of Vienne, where he was joined by Louis, Carloman, and the emperor Charles the Fat. Richard eventually drove Boso out in 882 and captured his wife Ermengard and children Engelberga and Louis, sending them as prisoners to Autun. Boso went into hiding in Provence. After the death of Charles the Fat in 888, Richard supported the claim of Duke Rudolph to be King of Upper Burgundy and married his sister Adelaide, daughter of Conrad II of Auxerre. Richard also supported the coronation of his nephew Louis as King of Provence in 890. Richard died and was buried at Sens. He was exhorted by a bishop at his deathbed to beg a pardon for shedding so much blood in his life. He responded:[citation needed] When I have killed a brigand, I have saved the life of honest men, the death of one helping prevent his accomplices from making more evil. Family By his wife Adelaide (married 888),[1] daughter of Conrad II, Count of Auxerre, and Waldrada of Worms, he had several sons and daughters: Rudolph, successor and later King of Francia[2] Hugh the Black, later Duke of Burgundy[3] Boso,[4] married Bertha, daughter of Boso, Margrave of Tuscany Ermengard, married Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy Adelaide, married Reginar II, Count of Hainaut Richilda, married Litaud I, Count of Mâcon | de Bourgogne, Duke Richard (I32284)

| 6763 | Robert ("Grandboelle") d'Estouteville, Sire d'Estouteville, Normandy, a companion of William I (The Conqueror). [Burke's Peerage] The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 7 Sep 2002, by Rosie Bevan: From: "Rosie Bevan" (rbevan AT paradise.net.nz) Subject: Stuteville of Cottingham Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-09-07 03:43:36 PST The posts on the Stutevilles have generated a few private queries about the main English line. So for those interested, here is what is known of the Stutevilles of Cottingham, derived mainly from C.T.Clay, Early Yorkshire Charters, v.9. In 1276 and 1282 surveys compiled of the Cottingham estate revealed that it consisted of a capital messuage of a manor, with a double ditch around the court, surrounded by a wall, with a garden, dovecote, fishery, 1455 acres of arable land, 433 acres of meadow, 364 acres of pastures, a park with a circuit of 4 leagues, in which the game were estimated at 500 wild beasts, four woods, three water mills and one wind mill. In addition there were 74 free tenants paying rent, 92 bondsmen and 137 cottars. Three advowsons belonged to the manor - the church of Cottingham worth 200 marcs p.a, the church of Roule worth 100 marcs and the church of Etton at 50 marcs p.a. The total value per annum of the estate was estimated at L435 2s 3d. 1. ROBERT I de Stuteville of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorks. He was amongst those granted the lands forfeited by Hugh fitz Baldric in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire soon after 1087 but lost them owing to his support of Robert Curthose, and was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life. The lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray, but partially recovered by Robert I's grandson, Robert III de Stuteville. He was a benefactor of Durham and an entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert, Gradulf and William. In a claim made by his great grandson William, he was described as Robert Grandboeuf. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz Hugh de Grandmesnil whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae. Benefactor of St Mary's abbey, York, Durham priory and the church at Lincoln. Issue: - Robert II. See below - Gradulf - William - Emma. Married to Robert Grandmesnil.

| 6767 | Robert Dale Gerling (1951-2020) passed away Sunday night Nov. 1, 2020 at his home in Blackwater, MO. A celebration of life will be held at SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church Saturday Nov 7, 2020 at 1 p.m. with rosary at 11:30 a.m. followed by visitation. Burial will follow service at St. Martin's Cemetery. Robert was born March 19, 1951 in Boonville, MO, son of John and Bertha Gerling. He married Connie Gerling, daughter of Paul and Dora Schulz, on May 27, 1988. Robert loved his family, especially his seven grandchildren. Every year family gatherings were held that always meant fishing, swimming, BBQ, and board games with Bush Light with the kids after the grandkids went to bed. Holidays were big. Once a farmer, always a farmer. He loved the land and knew who created it. He helped neighbors and neighbors helped him. He collected things: arrowheads, fishing hooks and jigs, and coins from his pocket. He loved 4-point pitch always with women vs. men. As Robert's disease progressed, he started giving his billfold cash away to his grandkids and later the coins from his pocket. He always showed his rosary to people he saw. He had a routine: coffee, weather on TV, of course Gunsmoke and other TV westerns, road trips, the garden, sitting under the lean to, rides on the 4-wheeler. And when looking for Robert, he was often with the chickens or walking to the mailbox. He lived his life always wanting to do the right thing. Robert liked church activities, always helping as needed. Yet the most important church ministry he enjoyed was the youth of the parish. Robert helped Connie for years with Vacation Bible School, youth groups, and confirmation. Again, as the disease progressed, he and Connie started visiting the sick, nursing homes and shut-ins with Legion of Mary ministries. His humility, kindness, and interest in others inspired many. Robert is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Jack Gerling, his nephew Greg Gerling, uncles, aunts, and cousins Kyle and Aaron. He is survived by his wife Connie Gerling and children Ryan (Sarah) Gerling, Michael (Jen) Gerling, Paul (Cassie) Bryant, and Jill (Ryan) Kovacs. Robert accepted his cross from the very beginning and in the end offered his brain to Mayo Clinic Research Center for the diagnosis and treatment of dementia. He joked that the only time he wanted to wear his wedding suit was when he was buried and that happened. Our family is thankful for the prayers, our relatives and friends, caregivers, Hospice, and those that talked to him and came by the farm showing dignity for his life. We are thankful to Rev. Bill Peckman and Rev Phil Kane for their spiritual support, especially at mass. | Gerling, Robert Dale (I21202)

| 6768 | Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester (1104 – 5 April 1168) was Justiciar of England 1155–1168. The surname "de Beaumont" is given him by genealogists. The only known contemporary surname applied to him is "Robert son of Count Robert". Henry Knighton, the fourteenth-century chronicler notes him as Robert "Le Bossu" (meaning "Robert the Hunchback" in French). The manuscript Genelogies of the Erles of Lecestre and Chester states that he was "surnamed Boissu", and refers to him by the names Robert Boissu, Robert Beamond and Robert Beaumonde. Robert was an English nobleman of Norman-French ancestry. He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan and 1st Earl of Leicester, and Elizabeth de Vermandois, and the twin brother of Waleran de Beaumont. It is not known whether they were identical or fraternal twins, but the fact that they are remarked on by contemporaries as twins indicates that they were probably identical. The two brothers, Robert and Waleran, were adopted into the royal household shortly after their father's death in June 1118 (upon which Robert inherited his father's second titles of Earl of Leicester). Their lands on either side of the Channel were committed to a group of guardians, led by their stepfather, William, Earl of Warenne or Surrey. They accompanied King Henry I to Normandy, to meet with Pope Callixtus II in 1119, when the king incited them to debate philosophy with the cardinals. Both twins were literate, and Abingdon Abbey later claimed to have been Robert's school, but though this is possible, its account is not entirely trustworthy. A surviving treatise on astronomy (British Library ms Royal E xxv) carries a dedication "to Earl Robert of Leicester, that man of affairs and profound learning, most accomplished in matters of law" who can only be this Robert. On his death he left his own psalter to the abbey he founded at Leicester, which was still in its library in the late fifteenth century. The existence of this indicates that like many noblemen of his day, Robert followed the canonical hours in his chapel. Career at the Norman court In 1120 Robert was declared of age and inherited most of his father's lands in England, while his twin brother took the French lands. However, in 1121, royal favour brought Robert the great Norman honors of Breteuil and Pacy-sur-Eure, with his marriage to Amice de Gael, daughter of a Breton intruder the king had forced on the honor after the forfeiture of the Breteuil family in 1119. Robert spent a good deal of his time and resources over the next decade integrating the troublesome and independent barons of Breteuil into the greater complex of his estates. He did not join in his brother's great Norman rebellion against King Henry I in 1123–24. He appears fitfully at the royal court despite his brother's imprisonment until 1129. Thereafter the twins were frequently to be found together at Henry I's court. Robert held lands throughout the country. In the 1120s and 1130s he tried to rationalise his estates in Leicestershire. Leicestershire estates of the See of Lincoln and the Earl of Chester were seized by force. This enhanced the integrity of Robert's block of estates in the central midlands, bounded by Nuneaton, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. In 1135, the twins were present at King Henry's deathbed. Robert's actions in the succession period are unknown, but he clearly supported his brother's decision to join the court of the new king Stephen before Easter 1136. During the first two years of the reign Robert is found in Normandy fighting rival claimants for his honor of Breteuil. Military action allowed him to add the castle of Pont St-Pierre to his Norman estates in June 1136 at the expense of one of his rivals. From the end of 1137 Robert and his brother were increasingly caught up in the politics of the court of King Stephen in England, where Waleran secured an ascendancy which lasted till the beginning of 1141. Robert participated in his brother's political coup against the king's justiciar, Roger of Salisbury (the Bishop of Salisbury). Civil war in England The outbreak of civil war in England in September 1139 brought Robert into conflict with Earl Robert of Gloucester, the bastard son of Henry I and principal sponsor of the Empress Matilda. His port of Wareham and estates in Dorset were seized by Gloucester in the first campaign of the war. In that campaign the king awarded Robert the city and castle of Hereford as a bid to establish the earl as his lieutenant in Herefordshire, which was in revolt. It is disputed by scholars whether this was an award of a second county to Earl Robert. Probably in late 1139, Earl Robert refounded his father's collegiate church of St Mary de Castro in Leicester as a major Augustinian abbey on the meadows outside the town's north gate, annexing the college's considerable endowment to the abbey. The battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141 saw the capture and imprisonment of King Stephen. Although Count Waleran valiantly continued the royalist fight in England into the summer, he eventually capitulated to the Empress and crossed back to Normandy to make his peace with the Empress's husband, Geoffrey of Anjou. Earl Robert had been in Normandy since 1140 attempting to stem the Angevin invasion, and negotiated the terms of his brother's surrender. He quit Normandy soon after and his Norman estates were confiscated and used to reward Norman followers of the Empress. Earl Robert remained on his estates in England for the remainder of King Stephen's reign. Although he was a nominal supporter of the king, there seems to have been little contact between him and Stephen, who did not confirm the foundation of Leicester Abbey till 1153. Earl Robert's principal activity between 1141 and 1149 was his private war with Ranulf II, Earl of Chester. Though details are obscure it seems clear enough that he waged a dogged war with his rival that in the end secured him control of northern Leicestershire and the strategic Chester castle of Mountsorrel. When Earl Robert of Gloucester died in 1147, Robert of Leicester led the movement among the greater earls of England to negotiate private treaties to establish peace in their areas, a process hastened by the Empress's departure to Normandy, and complete by 1149. During this time the earl also exercised supervision over his twin brother's earldom of Worcester, and in 1151 he intervened to frustrate the king's attempts to seize the city. Earl Robert and Henry Plantagenet The arrival in England of Duke Henry, son of the Empress Matilda, in January 1153 was a great opportunity for Earl Robert. He was probably in negotiation with Henry in that spring and reached an agreement by which he would defect to him by May 1153, when the duke restored his Norman estates to the earl. The duke celebrated his Pentecost court at Leicester in June 1153, and he and the earl were constantly in company till the peace settlement between the duke and the king at Winchester in November 1153. Earl Robert crossed with the duke to Normandy in January 1154 and resumed his Norman castles and honors. As part of the settlement his claim to be chief steward of England and Normandy was recognised by Henry. Earl Robert began his career as chief justiciar of England probably as soon as Duke Henry succeeded as King Henry II in October 1154. The office gave the earl supervision of the administration and legal process in England whether the king was present or absent in the realm. He appears in that capacity in numerous administrative acts, and had a junior colleague in the post in Richard de Luci, another former servant of King Stephen. The earl filled the office for nearly fourteen years until his death, and earned the respect of the emerging Angevin bureaucracy in England. His opinion was quoted by learned clerics, and his own learning was highly commended. He died on 5 April 1168, probably at his Northamptonshire castle of Brackley, for his entrails were buried at the hospital in the town. He was received as a canon of Leicester on his deathbed, and buried to the north of the high altar of the great abbey he had founded and built. He left a written testament of which his son the third earl was an executor, as we learn in a reference dating to 1174. He married after 1120 Amice de Montfort, daughter of Raoul II de Montfort, himself a son of Ralph de Gael, Earl of East Anglia. Both families had lost their English inheritances through rebellion in 1075. They had four children: 1. Hawise de Beaumont, who married William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester and had descendants. 2. Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester who married Petronilla de Grandmesnil and had descendants. 3. Isabel, who married Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and had descendants. 4. Margaret, who married Ralph IV de Toeni and had descendants through their daughter, Ida de Tosny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Beaumont,_2nd_Earl_of_Leicester | de Beaumont, Robert (I35505)

| 6769 | Robert De Greidley and his sisters were under age at the time of their father's death and so they were all under the guardianship of their uncle Gilbert Bassett in 1191. Robert came of age in 1196 when he had scutage of his tenants and attended the King into Normandy. After marrying his wife Margaret, he acquired the lands of Werlingham and Weston in Suffolk. Between 1195 and 1203 he and his knights were almost every year engaged in military service. In 1203 he, along with other men were requested by the king as a favour to give him the aid of their men in the work then being done upon the ditches of Lancaster castle. He was made Baron of Manchester on 25 June 1204. De Greidley was one of the barons who were prominent in extorting the Charter of Liberties from King John, along with other barons taking up arms against him, for which cause as a "Christmas gift", a papal bull dated 16 December 1215 for a crime against The Church as well as King John thirty-one barons along with twenty-nine other barons who were considered to be "aiders and abettors" underwent the sentence of excommunication by the Pope. De Greidley, one of the aiders and abettors had his estates seized by the King John, who gave his Periton to Ralph Gernon and placed Adam de Yealand in charge of the castle of Manchester and the lands dependent upon it. De Greidley was present at the signing of the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 at Runymede, and on 20 June 1215, he was at Runymede in King John's company. In 1217-18 Henry III restored to Robert his estates in Oxford, Lincoln and Rutland. Those in Lancaster had been previously restores. In the same year he was summoned to Parliament at Nottingham held that year to raise money. Also in 1217 he was taken prisoner in the Battle of Lincoln. The Magna Carta resulted from an uprising of the Barons against the king in a struggle to reduce the king's absolute power and to produce laws protecting the rights of individuals and communities which the king should be bound to observe. This was the beginning of a struggle throughout the 14th century between kings and barons, resulting ultimately in the beginnings of the development of constitutional law. In 1218 Robert was with the king's forces at the siege of Neward, and in 1221 at the siege of Bytham Castle. The same years he De Greidley was appointed with three others to pursue and arrest the rebel Richard Siward with his adherents for opposing the king in the siege of Bytham Castle. In 1224 he was with the king's forces at the siege of Bedford, and in 1225 witnessed the reissue of the Magna Carta. De Greidley was appointed with Richard de Copeland a justice of the forest in Lancaster for the perambulation and disafforesting of those places so to be dealt with according to the "carte de foresta." In 1222 he paid to have a fair yearly at his manor of Manchester on the eve of the feast of St. Matthew the Apostle, and in 1227, when the king attained his majority, obtained a charter of this privilege. He also obtained a charter to hold fairs at Swineshead in Lincoln. Robert De Greidley died in 1230 after returning to England from an expedition to Poicton, where he was serving the King at Nantes and where his health had been undermined by exposure and improper food. The inquest of service of 1212 listed among his properties: in Lincoln - Bloxholme, Swineshead, Sixhills, Hainton, Bracebridge, Canwick; in Norfolk - Tunstead; in Suffolk - Risby and Willisham.

| 6770 | Robert de Vere (after c. 1165 – before 25 October 1221), hereditary Master Chamberlain of England, was son of Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford, and Agnes of Essex. He succeeded his brother as the third Earl of Oxford, and was one of the twenty-five guarantors of Magna Carta. Robert de Vere was the second surviving son of Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford, and his third wife, Agnes of Essex. The date of his birth is not known, but he was likely born after 1164. Almost nothing is known of his life until 1207, when he married Isabel de Bolebec, the widow of Henry de Nonant (d.1206) of Totnes, Devon. In 1206-7 Isabel and her sister Constance were co-heiresses of their niece, another Isabel de Bolebec, the countess of Oxford by her marriage to Robert's brother, Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford. They divided the barony of Whitchurch. The fact that aunt and niece had identical names, Isabel de Bolbec, and were successively countesses of Oxford and heiresses of Whitchurch has led to confusion between the two women. When Robert's brother, Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford, died in the latter half of 1214, Robert succeeded to his title and estates and the hereditary office of Master Chamberlain of England. The dower of Earl Aubrey's second wife, Alice (possibly his cousin, a daughter of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk), had not been formalized. In 1215 Oxford settled his sister-in-law's dower by lot, the earl drawing two knights' fees for every one drawn by Alice. This is the only known instance of dower being settled in this manner. Oxford joined the disaffected barons who met at Stamford and forced King John to issue Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215. The earl was elected one of the barons who were to guarantee the King's adherence to its terms. Together with other Magna Carta barons, he was excommunicated as a rebel by Pope Innocent III on 16 December 1215, and joined them in offering the crown to Prince Louis of France. Oxford took up arms against King John, but pledged loyalty to him after the King had taken Castle Hedingham in March 1216. Later in the same year, however, he did homage to Prince Louis at Rochester. Louis entered London and was proclaimed King. On 14 June 1216, he captured Winchester and soon controlled over half of England. In the midst of this crisis, King John died, prompting many of the barons to desert Louis in favor of John's nine-year-old son, Henry III. In 1217 Prince Louis retook Castle Hedingham and restored it to Oxford, but despite this Oxford transferred his allegiance to the new King in October 1217. Although he did homage to Henry, he was not fully restored in his offices and lands until February 1218. Earl Robert served as a king's justice in 1220-21, and died shortly before 25 October 1221. He was buried at Hatfield Regis Priory, where either his son, Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford, or his grandson, Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford had an effigy erected in which he is depicted in chain mail, cross-legged, pulling his sword from its scabbard and holding a shield displaying his de Vere arms. Robert de Vere and Isabel de Bolebec had a son, Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Vere,_3rd_Earl_of_Oxford ................................... Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford was born after 1164. He was the son of Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford and Agnes de Essex. He married Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Hugh de Bolebec.

| 6771 | Robert Fitz Richard (1064–1136) was an Anglo-Norman feudal baron of Little Dunmow, Essex and constable of Baynard's Castle in the City of London. His feudal barony, the caput of which was at Little Dunmow in Essex, was granted to him by the king after it had been forfeited in 1110 by William Baynard, whose grandfather Ralph Baynard was the first holder and the builder of Baynard's Castle in the City of London.[1][2] Robert was steward under King Henry I (1100–1135)[3] and under King Stephen (1135–1154).[4] Family Robert was the son of Sir Richard Fitz Gilbert, Lord of Clare and Tonbridge (c. 1030–1091) and Rohese Giffard, (b. c. 1034), daughter of Sir Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville, and Agnes Flatel.[a] Robert married (c. 1114), Matilda de St. Liz (Maud), daughter of Sir Simon de St Liz, Earl of Northampton, and Maud de Huntingdon. Children were: - Sir Walter Fitz Robert, (b. c. 1124), married Maud de Lucy. The Magna Carta surety, Robert Fitzwalter, was their son. - Maud Fitz Robert, (b. c. 1132), Essex, who married (c. 1146), William d'Aubigny, son of Sir William d'Aubigny, Lord of Belvoir, and Cecily Bigod.

| 6772 | ROBERT I d'ESTOUTEVILLE of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, France arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorkshire, England. Robert, nicknamed "Grandbois," was included in the list of Knights who accompanied their Duke GUILLAUME to conquer England in 1066. He was a Crusader in 1097. The Estoutevilles were a great seigneurial family whose senior line was based at Vallemont in the Caux district of eastern Normandy. They claimed descent from a legendary Viking ancestor, Stoot (or Estout) the Dane. Robert I d’Estouteville participated in the Norman conquest of England, and his several sons by a second, Saxon, wife produced the English Stutevill families. In 1086, the estates of Hugh fitzBaldric, Domesday lord of Cottingham, were divided after his death and the bulk of his lands in Yorkshire passed to Robert I de Stuteville. However, by 1105, Robert was a supporter of Robert III Duke of Normandy and Robert Curthose. He was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life. Robert I d'Estouteville died in 1066 of starvation in an English prison (exact location unknown). His lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray. His son and heir, Robert II de Stuteville, did not hold lands in England and it was not until the reign of Stephen that Robert III, son and heir of Robert II, recovered Cottingham. He was a benefactor of St Mary's abbey, York, Durham priory and the church at Lincoln. An entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert II, Gradulf and William. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz-Hugh de Grandmesnil, whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae. | d'Estouteville, Robert I (I33785)

| 6773 | Robert I de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby (c. 1068 – 1139) was born in Derbyshire, England, a younger son of Henry de Ferrières and his wife Bertha l'Aigle. His father, born in Ferrières, Normandy, France accompanied William the Conqueror during his invasion of England. The family was rewarded with a grant of Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire and 114 manors in Derbyshire. Robert's elder brother William's main interests were in France. He joined Robert Curthose and was captured at Tinchebrai. His other brother Engenulf died shortly after his father and so Robert succeeded to the estates in 1088. From the beginning, he gave great support to Henry I. As part of his tenure of Duffield Frith in 1129–30, he is on record as having interests in lead mines at Wirksworth. At about this time he granted the church of Potterspury, Northamptonshire, to Bernard the Scribe. It is, however, during his last years that he is most in evidence as a leading supporter of King Stephen. He took a large body of Derbyshire men northwards to assist in repelling an invasion of the Scots under King David I of Scotland, nominally on the behalf of Matilda. Little actual fighting took place, but Thurstan, Archbishop of York, won the Battle of the Standard on Stephen's behalf, fought near Northallerton, on 22, August, 1138. Robert was mainly instrumental in securing the victory for his Sovereign, who for this and other important services created him Earl of Derby, although charters and chronicles during this period refer to him interchangeably as Earl Ferrers, earl of Nottingham or earl of Derby. He died in the following year (1139) and was succeeded in his earldom by his second but eldest surviving son Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby often known as Robert de Ferrars the Younger. As with most Norman lords, the Ferrers brought their Norman underlords to England with them – in this case, the Curzon (of Kedleston), Livet (Levett) and Boscherville (Baskerville) families, who held their fiefs in Normandy from the Ferrers, and who subsequently held their English lands from Ferrers as well. (The undertenant family names derive from Notre-Dame-de-Courson, Livet-en-Ouche and Boscherville, all part of the Ferrers barony in Normandy.) These undertenant retained their ties to the Ferrers after the families had moved to England following the Norman Conquest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Ferrers,_1st_Earl_of_Derby ............................................................................... Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby was born circa 1066 at Derbyshire, England. He was the son of Henry de Ferrieres and Bertha Roberts.

| 6774 | Robert I, Duke of Normandy For Robert I’s ancestor who took the baptismal name “Robert”, see Rollo . Robert the Magnificent (French : le Magni- Family tree fique )[lower-alpha 1] (22 June 1000 – 1–3 July 1035), was the Duke of Normandy from 1027 until his death in 1035. Owing to uncertainty over the numbering of the Dukes of Normandy he is usually called Robert I, but sometimes Robert II with his ancestor Rollo as Robert I. He was the father of William the Conqueror who became in 1066 King of England and founded the House of Normandy. 1 Life Robert was the son of Richard II of Normandy and Judith , daughter of Conan I, Duke of Brittany . He was also grandson of Richard I of Normandy , great-grandson of William I of Normandy and great-great grandson of Rollo , the Viking who founded Normandy. Before he died, Richard II had decided his elder son Richard III would succeed him while his second son Robert would become Count of Hiémois .[1] In August 1026 their father, Richard II, died and Richard III became duke, but very soon afterwards Robert rebelled against his brother, was subsequently defeated and forced to swear fealty to his older brother Richard.[2] 1.1 Early reign When Richard III died a year later, there were suspicions that Robert had something to do with his death. Although nothing could be proved, Robert had the most to gain.[3] The civil war Robert I had brought against his brother Richard III was still causing instability in the duchy.[3] Private wars raged between neighbouring barons. This resulted in a new aristocracy arising in Normandy during Robert’s reign.[3] It was also during this time that many of the lesser nobility left Normandy to seek their fortunes in southern Italy and elsewhere.[3] Soon after assuming the dukedom, possibly in revenge for supporting his brother against him, Robert I assembled an army against his uncle, Robert , Archbishop of Rouen and Count of Évreux. A temporary truce allowed his uncle to leave Normandy in exile but this resulted in an edict excommunicating all of Normandy, which was only lifted when Archbishop Robert was allowed to return and his countship was restored.[4] Robert also attacked another powerful churchman, his cousin Hugo III d'Ivry, Bishop of Bayeux, banishing him from Normandy for an extended period of time.[5] Robert also seized a number of church properties belonging to the Abbey of Fecamp.[6] 1.2 Outside of Normandy Despite his domestic troubles Robert decided to intervene in the civil war in Flanders between Baldwin V, Count of Flanders and his father Baldwin IV whom the younger Baldwin had driven out of Flanders.[7] Baldwin V, supported by king Robert II of France , his father-in-law, was persuaded to make peace with his father in 1030 when Duke Robert promised the elder Baldwin his considerable military support.[7] Robert gave shelter to Henry I of France against his mother, Queen Constance , who favored her younger son Robert to succeed to the French throne after his father Robert II.[8] For his help Henry I rewarded Robert with the French Vexin.[8] In the early 1030s Alan III, Duke of Brittany began expanding his influence from the area of Rennes and appeared to have designs on the area surrounding Mont Saint-Michel[9] After sacking Dol and repelling Alan’s attempts to raid Avranches, Robert mounted a major campaign against his cousin Alan III.[9] However, Alan appealed to their uncle, Archbishop Robert of Rouen, who then brokered a peace between Duke Robert and his vassal Alan III.[9] His cousins, the Athelings Edward and Alfred , sons of his aunt Emma of Normandy and Athelred, King of England 1 2 4 REFERENCES had been living at the Norman Court and at one point Robert, on their behalf, attempted to mount an invasion of England but was prevented in doing so, it was said, by unfavorable winds,[10] that scattered and sank much of the fleet. Robert made a safe landing in Guernsey. Gesta Normannorum Ducum stated that King Cnut sent envoys to Duke Robert offering to settle half the Kingdom of England on Edward and Alfred. After postponing the naval invasion he chose to also postpone the decision until after he returned from Jerusalem.[11] 1.3 The Church and his pilgrimage Robert’s attitude towards the Church had changed noticeably certainly since his reinstating his uncle’s position as Archbishop of Rouen.[12] In his attempt to reconcile his differences with the Church he restored property that he or his vassals had confiscated, and by 1034 had returned all the properties he had earlier taken from the abbey of Fecamp.[13] After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem .[14] According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum he travelled by way of Constantinople , reached Jerusalem, fell seriously ill and died[lower-alpha 2] on the return journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035.[14] His son William, aged about eight, succeeded him.[15] According to the historian William of Malmesbury , decades later his son William sent a mission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing his father’s body back to Normandy for burial.[16] Permission was granted, but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey, the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died.[16] They then decided to reinter Robert’s body in Italy.[16] 2 Issue By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise,[17] he was father of: William the Conqueror (c. 1028–1087).[18] By Herleva or possibly another concubine,[lower-alpha 3][19] he was the father of: Adelaide of Normandy , who married firstly, Enguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu .[20] She married secondly, Lambert II, Count of Lens , and thirdly, Odo II of Champagne .[21] 3 Notes [1] He was also, although erroneously, said to have been called 'Robert the Devil' (French: le Diable). Robert I was never known by the nickname 'the devil' in his lifetime. 'Robert the Devil' was a fictional character who was confused with Robert I, Duke of Normandy sometime near the end of the Middle Ages. See: François Neveux, A Brief History of the Normans, trans. Howard Curtis (Constable & Robinson, Ltd. London, 2008), p. 97 & n. 5. [2] It was reported by William of Malmesbury (Gesta regum Anglorum, Vol. i, pp. 211-12) and Wace (pt. iii, II, 3212– 14) that Robert died of poisoning. William of Malmsebury pointed to a Ralplh Mowin as the instigator. See: The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumièges, Orderic Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni, Ed. & Trans. Elizabeth M.C. Van Houts, Vol. I (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1992), pp. 84–5, n. 2. However it was common in Normandy during the eleventh century to attribute any sudden and unexplained death to poisoning. See: David C. Douglas, William the Conqueror (University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1964), p. 411 [3] The question of who her mother was seems to remain unsettled. Elisabeth Van Houts ['Les femmes dans l'histoire du duché de Normandie', Tabularia « Études », n° 2, 2002, (10 July 2002), p. 23, n. 22] makes the argument that Robert of Torigny in the GND II, p. 272 (one of three mentions in this volume of her being William’s sister) calls her in this instance William’s 'uterine' sister' (soror uterina) and is of the opinion this is a mistake similar to one he made regarding Richard II, Duke of Normandy and his paternal half-brother William, Count of Eu (calling them 'uterine' brothers). Based on this she concludes Adelaide was a daughter of Duke Robert by a different concubine. Kathleen Thompson ["Being the Ducal Sister: The Role of Adelaide of Aumale”, Normandy and Its Neighbors, Brepols, (2011) p. 63] cites the same passage in GND as did Elisabeth Van Houts, specifically GND II, 270–2, but gives a different opinion. She noted that Robert de Torigni stated here she was the uterine sister of Duke William “so we might perhaps conclude that she shared both mother and father with the Conqueror.” But as Torigni wrote a century after Adelaide’s birth and in that same sentence in the GND made a genealogical error, she concludes that the identity of Adelaide’s mother remains an open question. 4 References [1] The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumieges, Orderic Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni, Vol. II, Books VVIII, ed.

| 6783 | Robert of Strathearn (died c. 1244) is the 4th Earl of Strathearn in Scotland. Robert was the fourth son of Gille Brigte of Strathearn and his wife Matilda. He first appears on record in 1199, when he and his brothers were witnesses to their father's charters to the Abbey of Inchaffray. By 1210, all three of his elder brothers had died, and he became heir to the earldom of Strathearn. In 1219 he confirmed as heir-apparent all his father's grants to the abbey, and after his accession as earl around 1223, he made a vow never to disturb the monks in their possessions. Aside from his taking part in the abbey's affairs, he appears in a wider sphere in 1237, when he travelled to York with King Alexander, to negotiate the Treaty of York with Henry III of England. Earl Robert died before April 1244. «b»Marriage and progeny«/b» Earl Robert's wife, named Matilda 1178-1247. They had three sons and two daughters: 1.) Malise II of Strathearn, who succeeded as Earl 2.) Hugh, who became a friar and died c. 1290 3.) Gille Brigte/Gilbert, who acquired the lands of Durie and Belnollo in Fife, become the progenitor of the Duries of that Ilk 4.) Annabella, who married firstly John of Restalrig, and secondly Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine, who was killed at the Battle of Dunbar 5.) Mary, married Sir John Johnstone "Robert of Strathearn, who ruled Strathearn 1223–1245, is the fourth known Mormaer of Strathearn, but of course this is simply a source problem and certainly does not mean that he actually was the fourth. "Robert was the fourth son of Mormaer Gille Brigte and his wife Matilda daughter of William de Aubingy. His three elder brothers appear to be deceased by circa 1210 when Robert was designed son and heir of Gilbert earl of Strathearn when witnessing his father's charter of St Bean of Fowlis to the Priory of Incharrfay. [1] He had witnessed his father's charters with his elder brothers from 1199 to that date.[2] About 1220 Robert son of Gilbert earl of Strathearn confirmed to the canons of Inchaffray all the gifts which his father made to them, namely the lands of Craig, Ardunie, Ardbennie, Dubheads, Williamstone and Bellyclone, three acres of land next to the marsh of Fowlis towards the east, the 'toun' of Rahallo, as much of the marsh of Fowlis adjacent to the Isle of Masses (Insule Missarum) as was surrounded by a trench in the year 1219, a mill on the River Earn at Dunfallin which they built next to the earl's own mill and had been using since 1219; to be held by the canons as the charters of earl Gilbert bear witness. He also confirmed to the convent the churches which his father granted them, namely St Patrick of Strageath, St Serf of Dunning, St Bean of Fowlis St Bean of Kinkell, St Kessog of Auchterarder, St Serf of Monzievaird, St Serf of Tullieden, St Brigit of Kilbride and St Ethernan of Madderty.[3] Robert succeeded to the earldom of Strathearn about 1223 on the death of his father. Robert earl of Strathearn confirmed to his sister Cecilia and her husband Walter son of Alan the grant which earl Gilbert made to them of the land of Coulgask; to be held of earl Robert and his heirs in feu and heritage according to the terms of the charter of earl Gilbert,[4] About 1230 Robert earl of Strathearn witnessed th charter of confirmation made by his brother Fergus regarding the gift their uncle Malise had made to Arbroath Abbey.[5] Sir Robert earl of Strathearn about 1230 granted to the Abbey of Coupar Angus a full bovate of land in the territory of Meikleour (in Strathtay), for the upkeep of the bridge on the River Isla.[6] Earl Robert about 1233 confirmed to the convent of the Abbey of Lindores the gift in alms which his brother Sir Fergus made to them of the 'toun' of Bennie.[7] About 1235 he announced also to the Abbey of Lindores that he held firm the undertaking of his father, earl Gilbert, to make the hosting of the lord king for the land of Exmagirdle (near Bridge of Earn).[8] [9] The lands of Barry belonged to the Abbey of Balmerino but its church with its revenues to Arbroath. This led to complications regarding the gathering of tithes. Arbroath surrendered these to Balmerino and on 25 Dec 1235 Alexander II bestowed four and three quarters davoch of the lands of Tarves to compensate Arbroath Abbey. Robert earl of Strathearn was among the witnesses who were in the king's company that Christmas Day in St Andrews.[10] Not much is known of his reign, but we do know that in 1237 he travelled to York as part of the Scottish delegation who negotiated the Treaty of York. [11][12] It seems he largely confined himself to his comital demesne, which would explain his conspicuous absence from the civil records, despite a relatively long reign. Robert married a daughter of Hugh de Moravia (or Sir Hugh Freskin) by a daughter of Duncan, Earl of Fife (this identification made by Andrew B. W. MacEwen). Her maritagium evidently included lands in Durie, Fife later granted by Reynold le Cheyne to their son Gilbert. Their issue included: Maol Íosa II Hugh Gilbert Annabelle, who married Sir John de Restalrig & Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine Mary mar. Sir John Johnstone. Matilda mar. Alexander earl of Menteith.

| 6787 | Robert Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk, KG (9 August 1298 – 4 November 1369) was an English peer. He was created Earl of Suffolk in 1337. Early life Born 9 August 1298, Robert Ufford was the second but eldest surviving son of Robert Ufford, 1st Baron Ufford (1279–1316), lord of the manor of Ufford, Suffolk, who was summoned to Parliament by writ of the king dated 13 January 1308,[1] by which he is deemed to have become a baron. His mother was Cecily de Valoignes (died 1325), daughter and co-heiress of Sir Robert de Valoignes (died 1281[2]) and Eva (de La Pecche[citation needed]).[3] He had a younger brother, Sir Ralph Ufford (died 1346), Justiciar of Ireland, an energetic and capable but rather unpopular viceroy. His attitude to the Irish is said to have been influenced greatly by his wife, the King's cousin Maud of Lancaster. [4][5] On 19 May 1318 he had livery of his father's Suffolk lands. He was knighted and received some official employments, being occupied, for example, in 1326 in levying ships for the royal use in Suffolk, and serving in November 1327 on a commission of the peace in the eastern counties under the statute of Winchester. In May and June 1329 he attended the young Edward III on his journey to Amiens.[6] He was employed on state affairs down to the end of the rule of Isabella of France and Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, and on 1 May 1330 received a grant for life of Orford Castle in Suffolk, which had been previously held by his father; he also obtained grants of other lands. On 28 July he was appointed to array and command the levies of Norfolk and Suffolk summoned to fight "against the king's rebels". Nevertheless, in October he associated himself with William de Montacute in the attack on Mortimer at Nottingham. He took part in the capture of Mortimer in Nottingham Castle, and was implicated in the deaths of Sir Hugh de Turplington and Richard de Monmouth that occurred during the scuffle; that on 12 February 1331 he received a special pardon for the homicide. He was rewarded by the grant of the manors of Cawston and Fakenham in Norfolk, and also of some houses in Cripplegate that had belonged to Mortimer's associate, John Maltravers, succeeding Maltravers in some posts. He was summoned as a baron to parliament on 27 January 1332. From that time he was one of the most trusted warriors, counsellors, and diplomats in Edward III's service.[6] Earl of Suffolk On 1 November 1335 Ufford was appointed a member of an embassy empowered to treat with the Scots. He then served in a campaign against them, and was made warden of Bothwell Castle. On 14 January 1337 he was made Admiral of the North; Ufford ceased to hold this office later in the year. In March he was created Earl of Suffolk, and was granted lands. During his absence in parliament the Scots retook Bothwell Castle.[6] Hundred Years' War In opening moves of the Edwardian War, Suffolk was sent on 3 October 1337, with Henry Burghersh, the Earl of Northampton, and Sir John Darcy, to treat for peace or a truce with the French. Further powers were given them to deal with Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor and other allies, and on 7 October they were also commissioned to treat with David Bruce, then staying in France, and were accredited to the two cardinals sent by the pope to make an Anglo-French reconciliation. Next year, on 1 July, Suffolk was associated with John de Stratford and others on an embassy to France, and left England along with the two cardinals sent to treat for peace. He attended the king in Brabant, serving in September 1339 in the expedition that besieged Cambrai, and in the army that prepared to fight a major battle at Buironfosse that came to nothing, where he and the Earl of Derby held a joint command. On 15 November of the same year he was appointed joint ambassador to Louis I, Count of Flanders and the Flemish estates, to treat for an alliance.[6] After Edward's return to England, Suffolk stayed behind with Salisbury, in garrison at Ypres. During Lent 1340 they attacked the French near Lille, pursued the enemy into the town, were made prisoners and were sent to Paris. Philip VI of France, it was said, wished to kill them, and they were spared only through the intervention of John of Bohemia. The truce of 25 September 1340 provided for the release of all prisoners, but it was only after a heavy ransom, to which Edward III contributed, that Suffolk was freed. He took part in a tournament at Dunstable in the spring of 1342 and at great jousts in London. He was one of the members of Edward's Round Table at Windsor, which assembled in February 1344, and fought in a tournament at Hertford in September 1344. he was one of the early members of Order of the Garter.[6] Suffolk served through the English intervention in the Breton War of Succession during July 1342, and at the siege of Rennes. In July 1343 he was joint ambassador to Pope Clement VI at Avignon. On 8 May 1344 he was appointed captain and admiral of the northern fleet, and on 3 July accompanied Edward on a short expedition to Flanders. He continued admiral in person or deputy until March 1347, when he was succeeded by Sir John Howard. On 11 July 1346 Suffolk sailed with the king from Portsmouth on the invasion of France which resulted in the battle of Crécy. On the retreat northwards, a day after the passage of the River Seine, Suffolk and Sir Hugh le Despenser defeated a French force. Suffolk was one of those who advised Edward to select the field of Crécy as his battle-ground; in the English victory he fought in on the left wing. Next morning, 27 August, he took part in the Earl of Northampton's reconnaissance that resulted in a sharp fight with the unbroken remnant of the French army.[6] Suffolk's diplomatic activity went on. He was one of the commissioners appointed to treat with France on 25 September 1348, and with Flanders on 11 October. The negotiations were conducted at Calais. On 10 March 1349, and again on 15 May 1350, he had similar commissions. On 29 August 1350 he fought in the naval victory, the Battle of Winchelsea. In May 1351 and in June 1352 he was chief commissioner of array in Norfolk and Suffolk.[6] Poitiers campaign In September 1355 Suffolk sailed with The Black Prince, to Aquitaine. Between October and December he was on the prince's raid through Languedoc to Narbonne, where he commanded the rear-guard, William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, serving with him. After his return he was quartered at Saint-Emilion, his followers being stationed round Libourne. In January 1356 he led another foray, towards Rocamadour. Suffolk also shared in the Black Prince's northern foray of 1356, and in the battle of Poitiers which resulted from it, where he commanded, with Salisbury, the third "battle" or the rearward. The Prince's attempted retreat over the Miausson, threw the brunt of the first fighting on Suffolk and Salisbury. On the march back to Bordeaux he led the vanguard.[6] Last years Now 58 years old, Suffolk took part in the expedition into the County of Champagne in 1359. After that he was employed only in embassies, the last of those on which he served being that commissioned on 8 February 1362 to negotiate the proposed marriage of Edmund of Langley to the daughter of the Count of Flanders.[6] In his declining years Suffolk devoted himself to the removal of Leiston Abbey, near Saxmundham, to a new site somewhat further inland. In 1363 it was transferred to its new home, where some ruins remain.[6] Suffolk died on 4 November 1369.[6] By his will he requested burial beneath the arch between the chapel of St Nicholas and the high altar of the church of Campsey Priory, where his wife was also buried.[7] His monument, much mutilated, is believed to have survived the destruction of the priory and to have been rediscovered in nearby Rendlesham churchyard in 1785 by the Revd. Samuel Henley.[8] Family In 1324[9] he married Margaret de Norwich (died 2 April 1368), daughter of Sir Walter de Norwich (died 1329), Treasurer of the Exchequer, and Katherine de Hedersete, by whom he had a large family, including:[5] Robert Ufford, who predeceased his father without issue.[5] William Ufford, 2nd Earl of Suffolk (died 15 February 1382), second son, who married Joan Montagu (2 February 1349 – before 27 June 1376), daughter of Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu (died 14 July 1361) and Alice of Norfolk, by whom he had four sons and a daughter.[10] Walter Ufford (born 3 October 1343), third son, who married, before February 1359, Elizabeth de Montagu (c. 1344 – before July 1361), daughter of Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu (died 3 July 1461) and Alice of Norfolk, by whom he had no issue.[10] Joan Ufford, eldest daughter, who was contracted to marry her father's ward, John de St Philibert; however the marriage did not take place.[5] Katherine Ufford (born c. 1317,[citation needed] date of death unknown) married Robert de Scales, 3rd Baron Scales.[5][11] Cecily Ufford (born c. 1327 – died before 29 March 1372),[citation needed] who married William, Lord Willoughby of Eresby.[5] Their son Lord Robert and grandson Lord William quartered the arms of Ufford (Q1 and Q4) and Willoughby (Q2 and Q3).[12] Thenceforth the Willoughby family adopted[dubious – discuss] the arms of Ufford in lieu of their own arms.[13] Margaret Ufford (born c. 1330 – died before 25 May 1368),[citation needed] who married Sir William Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Groby.[5] Maud Ufford, who became a nun at the Augustinian priory in Campsea Ashe, Suffolk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ufford,_1st_Earl_of_Suffolk | de Ufford, Robert I (I35521)

| 6790 | Robert, Count of Mortain, 2nd Earl of Cornwall (c. 1031–c. 1095) was a Norman nobleman and the half-brother (on their mother's side) of King William the Conqueror. He was one of the very few proven companions of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings and as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 was one of the greatest landholders in his half-brother's new Kingdom of England. Life Robert was the son of Herluin de Conteville and Herleva of Falaise and brother of Odo of Bayeux. Robert was born c. 1031 in Normandy, a half-brother of William the Conqueror. and was probably not more than a year or so younger than his brother Odo, born c. 1030. About 1035, Herluin, as Vicomte of Conteville, along with his wife Herleva and Robert, founded Grestain Abbey. Count of Mortain Around 1049 his brother Duke William made him Count of Mortain, in place of William Werlenc, who had been banished by Duke William; according to Orderic Vitalis, on a single word. William Werlenc was a grandson of Duke Richard I and therefore a cousin once removed to William, Duke of Normandy. Securing the southern border of Normandy was critical to Duke William and Robert was entrusted with this key county which guarded the borders of Brittany and Bellême. Conquest of England In early 1066, Robert was present at both the first council of Lillebonne, that of William's inner circle, and the second larger council held to discuss the Duke's planned conquest of England. Robert agreed to provide 120 ships to the invasion fleet, which was more than any other of William's magnates. Robert was one of those few known to have been at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He is pictured at a dinner at Pevensey on the Bayeux Tapestry, seated with his brothers William and Odo on the day of the landing in England. When granting the monastery of St Michael's Mount to the Norman monastery on the Mont Saint-Michel Robert recorded that he had fought at the Battle of Hastings under the banner of St Michel (habens in bello Sancti Michaelis vexillum). Lands granted by William the Conqueror Robert's contribution to the success of the invasion was clearly regarded as highly significant by the Conqueror, who awarded him a large share of the spoils; in total 797 manors at the time of Domesday. The greatest concentration of his honours lay in Cornwall where he held virtually all of that county and was considered by some the Earl of Cornwall. While Robert held lands in twenty counties, the majority of his holdings in certain counties was as few as five manors. The overall worth of his estates was £2100. He administered most of his southwestern holdings from Launceston, Cornwall, and Montacute in Somerset. The holding of single greatest importance was the rape of Pevensey (east Sussex) which protected one of the more vulnerable parts of the south coast of England. Later life In 1069, together with Robert of Eu, he led an army against a force of Danes in Lindsey and effected great slaughter against them. After that there is little mention of Robert who appears to have been an absentee landholder spending the majority of his time in Normandy. Along with his brother Odo he participated in a revolt in 1088 against William II but afterwards he was pardoned. Robert died in 1095, possibly on 9 December, and chose to be buried at the Abbey of Grestain, near his father and next to his first wife Matilda. Character He was described by William of Malmesbury in his Gesta Regum as a man of stupid dull disposition (crassi et hebetis ingenii). William the Conqueror considered him one of his greatest supporters and trusted him with the important county of Mortain. Further clues to his character are found in the Vita of Vitalis of Savigny, a very wise monk who Robert sought out as his chaplain. One incident tells of Robert beating his wife and Vital, intervening, threatened to end the marriage if Robert did not repent. In still another entry Vital tells of his leaving Robert's service abruptly and after being escorted back to him, Robert begged for Vital's pardon for his actions. Overall, Robert was proficient in every duty William assigned him, he was a religious man yet ill-tempered enough to beat his wife, but was not known as a man of great wisdom. Family Robert was married to Matilda, daughter of Roger de Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, before 1066 and together they had: 1. William, Count of Mortain, who succeeded him. 2. Agnes who married André de Vitré, seigneur of Vitré. 3. Denise, married in 1078 to Guy, 3rd Sire de La Val. 4. Emma of Mortain, the wife of William IV of Toulouse. Through Emma's daughter Philippa, Countess of Toulouse, Robert was the great-great-grandfather of Eleanor of Aquitaine and hence an ancestor of all English monarchs after Henry II. After Matilda de Montgomery's death c. 1085 Robert secondly married Almodis. The couple had no children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert,_Count_of_Mortain | de Conteville, Earl Robert (I33701)

| 6795 | Roger de Busli (c. 1038-c. 1099) was a Norman baron who participated in the conquest of England in 1066. Roger de Busli was born in or around 1038. His surname comes from the town now known as Bully (near Neufchâtel-en-Bray, mentioned as Buslei ar. 1060, Busli 12th century.) in Normandy, and he was likely born there. Busli was given lands in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Strafforth wapentake of Yorkshire. These had previously belonged to a variety of Anglo-Saxons, including Edwin, Earl of Mercia and Rynold de Wynterwade, patriarch of the Wentworth family. By the time of the Domesday survey de Busli was tenant-in-chief of 86 manors in Nottinghamshire, 46 in Yorkshire, and others in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, plus one in Devon. They became the Honour of Blyth (later renamed the Honour of Tickhill), and within it, de Busli erected numerous castles, at Tickhill, Kimberworth, Laughton-en-le-Morthen and Mexborough. Much of the de Busli's family's leverage came from their familial relationships with the crown through the Counts of Eu. Roger de Busli's wife Muriel was in favour with the queen, to whom she was probably a lady-in-waiting or a kinswoman, evident in the queen's grant to de Busli of the manor of Sandford upon his marriage. The de Buslis had one son, also called Roger, who died as an infant, thus leaving no heirs. Beatrix, probably Roger's daughter (or possibly his sister), married William, Count of Eu. De Busli died in the last years of the 11th century without an heir. His lands were given to Robert de Bellême, but de Bellême lost them in 1102 after he led a rebellion against Henry I. Ernulf de Busli, probably Roger's brother, may then have inherited some of the lands; these were then passed to his son Jordan and grandson Richard de Busli. Richard de Busli was co-founder of Roche Abbey, South Yorkshire with Richard FitzTurgis in 1147. The male line of the de Busli family ran out in 1213, and the de Busli family holdings passed into the family of Vipont through the marriage of Idonea de Busli with Robert de Vipont (Vieuxpont). | de Busli, Roger (I34314)

| 6796 | Roger de Clare, 2nd Earl of Hertford, 5th Lord of Clare, 5th Lord of Tonbridge, 5th Lord of Cardigan (1116–1173) was a powerful Norman noble in 12th-century England. He succeeded to the Earldom of Hertford and Honor of Clare, Tonbridge and Cardigan when his brother Gilbert died without issue. Roger was a son of Richard Fitz Gilbert de Clare and Alice de Gernon. In 1153, he appears with his cousin, Richard Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, as one of the signatories to the Treaty of Wallingford, in which Stephen recognises Henry of Anjou as his successor. Roger is found signing charters at Canterbury and Dover in 1156. Next year, according to Powell, he received from Henry II a grant of whatever lands he could conquer in South Wales. This is probably only an expansion of the statement of the Welsh chronicles that in this year (about 1 June) he entered Cardigan and 'stored' the castles of Humfrey, Aberdyfi, Dineir, and Rhystud. Rhys ap Gruffydd, the prince of South Wales, appears to have complained to Henry II of these encroachments ; but being unable to obtain redress from the king of England sent his nephew Einion ab Anarawd to attack Humfrey and the other Norman fortresses. The 'Annales Cambriæ seem to assign these events to the year 1159 ; and the 'Brut' adds that Prince Rhys burnt all the French castles in Cardigan. In 1158 or 1160, Roger advanced with an army to the relief of Carmarthen Castle, then besieged by Rhys, and pitched his camp at Dinweilir. Not daring to attack the Welsh prince, the English army offered peace and retired home. In 1163, Rhys again invaded the conquests of Clare, who, we learn incidentally, has at some earlier period caused Einion, the capturer of Humfrey Castle, to be murdered by domestic treachery. In 1164 he assisted with the Constitutions of Clarendon. From his munificence to the Church and his numerous acts of piety, Roger was called the "Good Earl of Hertford". He was the founder of Little Marcis Nunnery prior to 1163. A second time all Cardigan was wrested from the Norman hands; and things now wore so threatening an aspect that Henry II led an army into Wales in 1165, although, according to one Welsh account, Rhys had made his peace with the king in 1164, and had even visited him in England. The causes assigned by the Welsh chronicle for this fresh outbreak of hostility are that Henry failed to keep his promises — presumably of restitution — and secondly that Roger, earl of Clare, was honourably receiving Walter, the murderer of Rhys's nephew Einion. For the third time we now read that Cardigan was overrun and the Norman castles burnt; but it is possible that the events assigned by the 'Annales Cambræ' to the year 1165 are the same as those assigned by the 'Brut y Tywysogion' to 1163. In the intervening years, Roger had been abroad, and is found signing charters at Le Mans, probably about Christmas 1160, and again at Rouen in 1161. In July 1163 he was summoned by Thomas Becket to do homage in his capacity of steward to the archbishops of Canterbury for the castle of Tunbridge. In his refusal, which he based on the grounds that he held the castle of the king and not of the archbishop, he was supported by Henry II. Next year he was one of the "recognisers" of the Constitutions of Clarendon. Early in 1170 he was appointed one of a band of commissioners for Kent, Surrey, and other arts of southern England. His last known signature seems to belong to June or July 1171, and is dated abroad from Chevaillée. He appears to have died in 1173, and certainly before July or August 1174, when we find Richard, earl of Clare, his son, coming to the king at Northampton. Family Roger married Maud de St. Hilary, daughter of James de St. Hilary and Aveline. Together they had seven children: 1. Mabel de Clare, d. 1204, m. (c. 1175), Nigel de Mowbray. 2.

He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire.

They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1196, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. | de Clare, Roger (I35771)

| 6797 | Roger de Montgomery (died 1094), also known as Roger the Great de Montgomery, was the first Earl of Shrewsbury, and Earl of Arundel, Sussex. His father was Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of Montgomery, and was a relative, probably a grandnephew, of the Duchess Gunnor, wife of Duke Richard I of Normandy. The elder Roger had large holdings in central Normandy, chiefly in the valley of the Dives, which the younger Roger inherited.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_de_Montgomery Life[edit] Roger was one of William the Conqueror's principal counsellors, playing a major role in the Council of Lillebonne. He may not have fought in the initial invasion of England in 1066, instead staying behind to help govern Normandy. According to Wace's Roman de Rou, however, he commanded the Norman right flank at Hastings, returning to Normandy with King William in 1067.[1] Afterwards he was entrusted with land in two places critical for the defence of England, receiving the Rape of Arundel at the end of 1067 (or in early 1068), and in November 1071 he was created Earl of Shrewsbury; a few historians believe that while he received the Shropshire territories in 1071 he was not created Earl until a few years later. In 1083, he founded Shrewsbury Abbey.[2] Roger was thus one of the half dozen greatest magnates in England during William the Conqueror's reign. William gave Earl Roger nearly all of what is now the county of West Sussex, which at the time of the Domesday Survey was the Rape of Arundel.[3] The Rape of Arundel was eventually split into two rapes, one continuing with the name Rape of Arundel and the other became the Rape of Chichester.[3] Besides the 83 manors in Sussex, his possessions also included seven-eighths of Shropshire which was associated with the earldom of Shrewsbury, he had estates in Surrey (4 manors), Hampshire (9 manors), Wiltshire (3 manors), Middlesex (8 manors), Gloucestershire (1 manor), Worcestershire (2 manors), Cambridgeshire (8 manors), Warwickshire (11 manors), and Staffordshire (30 manors).[4] The income from Roger's estates would amount to about £2,000 per year, in 1086 the landed wealth for England was around £72,000, so it would have represented almost 3% of the nation's GDP.[5][6] After William I's death in 1087, Roger joined with other rebels to overthrow the newly crowned king, William II, in the Rebellion of 1088. However, William was able to convince Roger to abandon the rebellion and side with him. This worked out favourably for Roger, as the rebels were beaten and lost their land holdings in England. Family[edit] Roger married Mabel de Bellême, who was heiress to a large territory straddling the border between Normandy and Maine. The medieval chronicler Orderic Vitalis paints a picture of Mabel of Bellême being a scheming and cruel woman.[7] She was murdered by Hugh Bunel and his brothers who, possibly in December 1077, rode into her castle of Bures-sur-Diveand cut off her head as she lay in bed.[7][8] Their motive for the murder was that Mabel had deprived them of their paternal inheritance.[9] Roger and Mabel had 10 children: · Robert de Bellême, Count of Alençon in 1082, he succeeded his younger brother Hugh as 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury. He married Agnes, Countess of Ponthieu and died in 1131.[10] · Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury, died without issue 1098.[11] · Roger the Poitevin, Vicomte d'Hiemois, married Adelmode de la Marche.[12] · Philip of Montgomery.[13] · Arnulf of Montgomery,[13] married Lafracota daughter of Muirchertach Ua Briain.[14] · Sibyl of Montgomery, she married Robert Fitzhamon, Lord of Creully.[15] · Emma, abbess of Almenêches.[16] · Matilda (Maud) of Montgomery, she married Robert, Count of Mortain and died c. 1085.[17] · Mabel of Montgomery, she married Hugh de Châteauneuf.[13] · Roger of Montgomery, died young. Roger then married Adelaide du Puiset, by whom he had one son, Everard, who entered the Church. After his death, Roger's estates were divided.[18] The eldest surviving son, Robert of Bellême, received the bulk of the Norman estates (as well as his mother's estates); the next son, Hugh, received the bulk of the English estates and the Earldom of Shrewsbury.[18] After Hugh's death, the elder son Robert inherited the earldom.[18] | de Montgomery, Count Roger II (I33703)

Whilst acknowledged as a competent and prodigious fighter, he generally found himself on the losing side in his subsequent engagements. During the anarchic reign of King Stephen he was captured with Stephen at the battle of Lincoln in 1141.[4] Soon after his release, Roger married Alice de Gant (d. c. 1181), daughter of Walter de Gant and widow of Ilbert de Lacy, and by whom he had two sons, Nigel and Robert.[5] Roger also had at least one daughter, donating his lands at Granville to the Abbeye des Dames in Caen when she became a nun there.[4] In 1147, he was one of the few English nobles to join Louis VII of France on the Second Crusade.[2] He gained further acclaim, according to John of Hexham, defeating a Muslim leader in single combat.[5] Career under Henry II Roger supported the Revolt of 1173–74 against Henry II and fought with his sons, Nigel and Robert, but they were defeated at Kinardferry, Kirkby Malzeard and Thirsk.[4] Roger left for the Holy Land again in 1186, but encountered further misfortune being captured at the Battle of Hattin in 1187.[3] His ransom was met by the Templars, but he died soon after and, according to some accounts, was buried at Tyre in Palestine. There is, however, some controversy surrounding his death and burial and final resting-place.[2][6] Legacy Mowbray was a significant benefactor and supporter of several religious institutions in Yorkshire including Fountains Abbey.[3][2] With his mother he sheltered the monks of Calder, fleeing before the Scots in 1138, and supported their establishment at Byland Abbey in 1143. Later, in 1147, he facilitated their relocation to Coxwold. Roger made a generous donation of two carucates of land (c.240 acres), a house and two mills to the Order of Saint Lazarus, headquartered at Burton St Lazarus Hospital in Leicestershire, after his return from the crusades in 1150.[7] His cousin William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel and his wife Adeliza, the widow of King Henry I, had been amongst the earliest patrons of the order and, when combined with Roger's experiences in the Holy Land, may have encouraged his charity.[8] His family continued to support the Order for many generations and the Mowbrays lion rampant coat of arms was adopted by the Hospital of Burton St Lazars alongside their more usual green cross.[1][9] He also supported the Knights Templar and gave them land in Warwickshire where they founded Temple Balsall.[7] In total, Roger is credited with assisting the establishment of thirty-five churches.[2] References 1.
