• Notes

  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.
