a) ARNULF ([Gent] [950/55]-killed in battle Winkel, West-Friesland 18 Sep 993, bur Egmond). The Annales Egmundani name "Arnulfus filius eius [=Theoderici II comitis]" when recording that he succeeded his father[261]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Arnulfum comitem, Egbertum Treverensem archiepiscopum ac Arlindam puellam" as the children of Count Dirk II & his wife[262]. "Arnulfi comitum" subscribed a charter dated 29 Jun [955/64], signing directly after "Theoderici comitis"[263]. "Theoderico comite et Arnulfo filio eius, Folberto advocato…Ingelberto advocato…" signed the charter dated 26 Oct 970 under which "Mathelgodus et uxor sua Ingelswindis" donated "hereditatem sue possessionis in loco…Wessingim…Siringim…in pago Bracbantensi" to Saint-Pierre de Gand[264]. "…Hecberto et Arnulfo filiis ipsius Theoderici…" signed the charter dated 2 Oct 974 under which "Theodericus comes et uxor sua Hildegardis" donated "in villa Haleftra in pago Mempesco sita" to Saint-Pierre de Gand[265]. "Arnulpho filio Theoderici comitis" is named in a charter dated 30 Sep 975, subscribed by "Arnulfi filii eorum [Theoderici et Hildegardis]"[266]. "Theodericus comes et uxor sua Hildegardis" and "Hecberto et Arnulfo filiis ipsius Theoderici" are named in a charter dated Oct [967/79][267]. "Arnulfus filius Theoderici comitis et Arnulfus filius Hildwini" donated "in pago Taruennensis…in Rumingehim et in Keremberg, in pago Flandrensi…in Uckesham et super Gersta" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, at the request of "Everardi et filii eius Baldwini nepotis sui", by charter dated 4 Mar 981, signed by "Arnulfi junioris…marchysi, Theoderici comitis…Ingelberti advocati…"[268]. "…Theoderico comite, Arnulfo comite…" signed the charter dated 1 Apr 988 under which "Baldwinus marchysus cum matre sua Susanna" donated "villam Aflingehem…jacentem in pago Tornacinse" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, after the death of "Arnulfi marchysi"[269]. He succeeded his father in 988 as ARNULF Count of Holland. "Arnulfi comitum" subscribed a charter dated 20 May 988[270], the first charter included in the compilation which he signed without his father. He was killed in battle against the Frisians[271], although this is doubted by de Boer & Cordfunke who suggest that he was killed at the mouth of the river Rhine as the quarrels with the West Frisians started much later[272]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the death in battle "Winckel apud pagum Westfrisie…993 XIV Kal Oct" of "Arnulfus comes" and his burial at Egmond[273]. m (Betrothed 980) LIUTGARD de Luxembourg, daughter of SIEGFRIED Count [of Luxembourg] & his wife Hedwig --- ([965/70]-14 May, after 1005, bur Egmond). The Annales Egmundani name "Lutgarda comitissa" as wife of "Arnulphus comes tertius [Hollandensium]" but do not give her origin, specifying in a later passage that they were "legally" betrothed in 980 at "coram rege Ottone"[274]. Her origin is indicated by Thietmar who names "the queen's sister Liudgard", recording that "the king attacked the Frisians with a fleet…to placate [her] fury", dated to [May/Jun] 1005 from the context of the text[275]. Her origin is confirmed by the necrology of Ranshofen which records the death "III Id May" of "Liukart com soror Chunigundis imperatricis"[276]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records that the wife of "Arnulfus tercius comes Hollandie" was "Lutgardim, filiam Theophani…imperatoris Grecorum et sororum Theophane imperatoris"[277], but this is clearly inconsistent with all other primary sources consulted. "Theodericus comes cum matre sua Lietgarda" donated "alodum suum situm secus fluvium Scaldum in pago Gandensi seu Tornacensi in vulla Rucga" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for the soul of "patris sui Arnulfi", by charter dated 20 Sep 995[278]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the death "II Id Mai" of "Lutgardis…sua collateralis" and her burial at Egmond[279]. Beke's Egmondsch Necrologium records the death "pridie Id Mai" of "Lutgairdis uxor eius [Arnulfi comitis] filia regis Grecorum"[280]. According to the Preface of Vitæ Heinrici et Cunegundis Imperatores, "Liukart comitissa, soror Chunigundis imperatricis, obiit II Non Iulii"[281], but this date is inconsistent with other primary sources. Count Arnulf & his wife had [three] childrenArnulf married Luxembourg, Liutgard of in May 980. Liutgard (daughter of of Luxemburg, Siegfried I and of Nordgau, Hedwig) was born in 955 in Cleves, Kleve, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany; died on 14 May 1005 in Egmond-Binnen, Egmond, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.

“JUDITH OF LENS, born about 1054. She married after January 1070 WALTHEOF, Earl of Northumberland, lord of Potton, Bedfordshire, Waltharnstow, Essex, Conington, Leighton Bromswold, Little Catford, and Sawtry, Huntingdonshire, Barnack, East Farndon, Fotheringay, Harringworth, and Lilford, Northamptonshire, etc., son and heir of Siward, Earl of Northumberland, by Ælfflaed, daughter of Earl Ealdred. They had two daughters, Maud [Queen of Scotland] and Alice. He was still young at the death of his father in 1055. He was active against the Norman in the northern counties and especially at York in 1069. In 1070 he made his peace with King William the Conqueror. He occurs as one of the witnesses to King William's charter to Wells dated 1068. He was present at the marriage of Ralph de Wader at Exning, Cambridgeshire, where the guests entered into a conspiracy against the king. In this he was to some slight extent implicated, but acting on the advise of Archbishop Lanfranc, he crossed over to Normandy to the king, and disclosed the matter to him. The conspiracy having been crushed, the king kept Waltheof with him. But he was accused by his wife, Judith, of more than a mere knowledge of the plot. After a year's deliberation, during which he was imprisoned at Winchester, Waltheof was executed at Winchester, Hampshire 31 May 1075 (or 1076). Two weeks afterwards the king allowed his body to be removed to Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, where the abbot buried him in the chapterhouse; his remains were subsequently translated into the church near the altar. At an unknown date, Judith was granted the manor of Elstow, Bedfordshire by her uncle, King William the Conqueror. Sometime prior to 1086, she founded a nunnery at Elstow and endowed it with the vill. She was living in 1086, and presumably died about 1090.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Judith was a niece of William the Conqueror. She was a daughter of his sister Adelaide of Normandy, Countess of Aumale and Lambert II, Count of Lens.
In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children. Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.
In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Judith betrayed Waltheof to her uncle, who had Waltheof beheaded on 31 May 1076. After Waltheof's execution Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. Judith refused to marry Simon and she fled the country to avoid William's anger. William then temporarily confiscated all of Judith's English estates. Simon, later, married, as his second wife, Judith's daughter, Maud, as her first husband.
Judith founded Elstow Abbey in Bedfordshire around 1078. She also founded churches at Kempston and Hitchin.
She had land-holdings in 10 counties in the Midlands and East Anglia. Her holdings included land at:
• Earls Barton, Northamptonshire
• Great Doddington, Northamptonshire
• Grendon, Northamptonshire
• Merton, Oxfordshire
• Piddington, Oxfordshire
• Potton, Bedfordshire

. In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children - Maud de Lens aka Matilda (1074-1130), Judith (1075-1137) and Adelese aka Alice (c1075/6-1126). Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.
In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Some sources claim that Judith betrayed Waltheof to the bishop of Winchester, who informed her uncle, the king. Other sources say that Waltheof was innocent and that it was he who notified the bishop and king of the plot. Waltheof was beheaded on 31 May 1076 at St. Giles Hill, near Winchester.
After Waltheof's execution, Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton by her uncle, William. Judith refused to marry Simon and fled the country to avoid William's anger. He then (temporarily) confiscated all Judith's English estates. Simon married Judith's daughter, Maud, in or before 1090.

Notes:
Maud, or Matilda, was the queen consort of King David I of Scotland. She was the great-niece of William the Conqueror and the granddaughter of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. Her parents were Waltheof, the Anglo-Saxon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and his Norman wife Judith of Lens. Her father was the last of the major Anglo-Saxon earls to remain powerful after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Her mother was William the Conqueror's niece. Through her ancestors, the Counts of Boulogne, Maud also was a descendant of Alfred the Great and Charles the Bald, and a cousin of Godfrey of Bouillon.
Maud married Simon de Senlis (or St Liz) in about 1090. Earlier, her great-uncle William the Conqueror had tried to get Maud's mother, Judith, to marry Simon. Simon received the honour of Huntingdon (whose lands stretched across much of eastern England) probably in right of his wife from William Rufus before the end of the year 1090. Maud and Simon had three known children: Matilda of St Liz (Maud), who married first, Robert Fitz Richard of Tonbridge, and second, Saer De Quincy; Simon of St Liz; and Saint Waltheof of Melrose.
Maud's first husband Simon died sometime after 1111, and Maud next married David, the brother-in-law of Henry I of England, in 1113. Through this marriage, David gained control over Maud's vast estates in England to add to his own lands in Cumbria and Strathclyde. David and Maud had four children (two sons and two daughters): Malcolm, who died young; Henry; Claricia, who never married; and Hodierna, who also never married.
In 1124, David became King of Scots. Maud's two sons by different fathers, Simon and Henry, would later vie for the Earldom of Huntingdon.
Maud died in 1130 or 1131 and was buried at Scone Abbey in Perthshire, but she appears in a charter of dubious origin dated 1147.
Maud of Huntingdon appears as a character in Elizabeth Chadwick's novel "The Winter Mantle" (2003), as well as Alan Moore's novel "Voice of the Fire" (1995) and Nigel Tranter's novel "David the Prince" (1980).Matilda married of Scotland, King David I in 1113 in Scotland. David (son of of Scotland, Malcolm III and Aetheling, Queen of Scotland and Saint Margaret) was born on 31 Dec 1080 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; was christened in 1124 in Scotland; died on 24 May 1153 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England; was buried on 24 May 1153 in Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

His widow, Maud, married (2rid) between 1137 and 1140 (as his 1st wife) SAHER DE QUINCY (or QUENCY), of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire and Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, and, in right of his 1st wife, of East Bradenham, Norfolk and Daventry, Northamptonshire; and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. They had two sons, Robert and Saher, and one daughter, Alice.
Sometime before 1176 Maud granted the church of East Bradenham, Norfolk to Norwich Cathedral with the consent of her son, Walter Fitz Robert. At an unknown date, with consent of Walter her son, she granted to Maurice Fitz Geoffrey all her dower lands in Essex and London, which William Fitz Walcher formerly held. He witnessed a charter of Simon son of Simon Earl of Northampton in 1153-7. His wife, Maud, was living in 1158. In 1158 he was pardoned 25s. danegeld in Northamptonshire. Sometime after 1163 he granted Sibton Abbey 20 acres of land from his demesne and 30 acres of broken heath in the village of Tuddenham, Suffolk. At an unknown date, Saher granted the canons of Dunmow, Essex a yearly rent of 10s. issuing out of the lordship of East Bradenham, Norfolk. Saher married (2nd) after 1165 ASCELINE PEVEREL, widow of Geoffrey de Waterville (occurs c.1138-61, dead in 1162), of Ailsworth and Upton (in Castor), Northamptonshire, and daughter of Robert Peverel, by his wife, Adelicia. They had no issue. She was co-heiress in 1148 to her brother, William Peverel, of Dover, by which she inherited a one-quarter share of the barony of Bourn, Cambridgeshire. Sometime between 1161 and 1172, she and her son, Ralph de Waterville, conceded to Shrewsbury Abbey a third of Crugelton and Slepe, Shropshire, as given previously by her uncle, Hamon Peverel. Sometime in the 1170s Saher confirmed William [de Belvoir] and his son, Reynold [de Oakley], in their possession of the manor of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. SAHER DE QUINCY died in 1190 (or about 1193).

“ALICE DE SENLIS, married ROGER [FITZ WILLIAM] DE HUNTINGFIELD, of Huntingfield, Linstead, and Mendham, Suffolk, Frampton, Huttoft, and Southorpe, Lincolnshire, East Bradenham, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of William Fitz Roger de Huntingfield, by Sibyl, daughter of Roger de Gigny. He was born before 1145. They had four sons, William, Roger, Thomas, and John. About 1180-83, by permission of her husband, Roger, Alice gave land and pasture which she held in Tytton (in Wyberton), Lincolnshire to Stixwould Priory. In 1183 Maurice de Craon acknowledged his rights to various manors in Lincolnshire, in exchange for the manor of Warneborne. In 1189 he had a dispute with the Prior of Longeville concerning the advowson of Harleton, Cambridgeshire. He subsequently took the case to the king's court, and a decision reached at Westminster in 1196 in the presence of Hubert Walter. In 1196 the Longeville monks agreed that the lord. of the manor shall nominate to the rectory, in return for a pension from the church; he in turn promised that if the Bishop will not increase the pension of the monks from 20s. to 40s., he will himself pay the money. In the period, 1198-1204, he gave Mendham Priory a pasture in Mendham, Suffolk and a water mill called `Kingesholme.' In 1199 he gave 200 marks for 15 librates of land of the honour of Lancaster in Norfolk and Suffolk. In 1200 Roger de Huntingfield was present when William the Lion, King of Scots, paid homage to King John at Lincoln. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his wife's brother, Saher de Quincy, to Sibton Abbey. At an unknown date, he confirmed a gift of Thomas de Multon to Spalding Abbey. ROGER DE HUNTINGFIELD died in 1204. His wife, Alice, died the same year.

[Note: Evidence of the maiden name of Alice de Senlis (died 1204), mother of William de Huntingfield, the Magna Carta baron, is provided by her own charter to Stixwould Priory dated c.1180-3 [see Hallam Settlement & Society (1965): 51; Wilkinson Women in 13th Cent. Lincolnshire (2007): 174-175]. Alice has been identified by one recent historian as "perhaps" the daughter of Maud de Senlis, wife successively of Robert Fitz Richard (de Clare) (died 1136) and Saber de Quincy I [see Wilkinson Women in 13th Cent. Lincolnshire (2007): 175; Franklin Cartulary of Darentry Priory (Pubs. of Northamptonshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1988): xx-xxi, 2-4]. Another historian states Alice "was probably related to the [Senlis] earls of Northampton" [see Hatton Book of Seals (1950): 201]. Surviving charters indicate that Alice de Senlis' husband, Roger de Huntingfield, witnessed charters for both of Maud de Senlis' sons, Walter Fitz Robert and Saber de Quincy II [see Hatton Book of Seals (1950): 194, 201]. Roger de Huntingfield likewise held property at East Bradenham, Norfolk, the chief manor of which was previously held by Maud de Senlis, who gave the church there sometime before 1176 to Norwich Cathedral [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 6 (1807): 134-138; Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 56, 58; Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 6(1) (1830): 148-149; Dodwell Charters of the Norwich Cathedral Priory 1 (Pubs. Pipe Roll Soc. n.s. 40) (1974): 180-183; Ward Women of the English Nobility & Gentry 1066-1500 (1995): 49-50]. In 1200 Roger de Huntingfield was present when William the Lion, King of Scots, paid homage to King John at Lincoln [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Honedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51(4)) (1871): 141-142]. Also present on this occasion were Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, Saber de Quincy IV, William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, Robert de Roos, and William de Vescy, all of whom were near kinsfolk or related by marriage to King William the Lion. If Alice de Senlis, wife of Roger de Huntingfield, was the daughter of Maud de Senlis, it would make Alice a first cousin of King William the Lion. Given the chronology, passage of lands, naming patterns, etc., it seems virtually certain that Alice de Senlis was the daughter of Maud de Senlis and her 2nd husband, Saber de Quincy I, and that Alice's maritagium included Senlis family property at East Bradenham, Norfolk].”Family/Spouse: de Huntingfield, Sir Roger.

“WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD, Knt., of Huntingfield and Mendham, Suffolk, Harlton, Cambridgeshire, Frampton, Fishtoft, and Southorpe, Lincolnshire, etc., Constable of Dover Castle, 1203-4, Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1209-11, justice itinerant in Lincolnshire, and, in right of his wife, patron of Castleacre Priory, son and heir of Roger [Fitz William] de Huntingfield, of Huntingfield, Linstead, and Mendham, Suffolk, Frampton, Huttoft, Southorpe, and Tytton (in Wyberton), Lincolnshire, East Bradenham, Norfolk, etc., by Alice de Senlis, daughter of Saher de Quincy, of Long Buckby and Daventry, Northamptonshire. He was born about 1160. He married before 1194 ISABEL FITZ WILLIAM (otherwise DE GRESSENHALL), widow successively of Berenger de Cressy, and Osmond de Stuteville, of Weston Colville, Cambridgeshire (died in Palestine, probably during the Siege of Joppa about 1187), and daughter and heiress of William Fitz Roger, of Gressenhall and Castleacre, Norfolk, by his wife, Aeliva. They had two sons, Roger, Knt., and presumably Saher, and four daughters, Alice, Isabel, Sarah, and Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he disputed with his wife's son, William de Stuteville, concerning his wife's dower. In 1195 the Abbot of St. Edmunds granted the whole vill of Wendling, Norfolk to William de Huntingfield and his wife, Isabel, and her heirs for 50s. a year. Sometime c.1204-12, he witnessed a charter of Alexander, Abbot of Sibton to Thomas son of Roger de Huntingfield, presumably his brother. In 1205 he was granted the manor of Clafford, Hampshire. In the period, 1204-17, he witnessed a charter of Ralph the chaplain of Heveningham to John Fitz Robert, lord of Ubbeston. His wife, Isabel, died in 1207. In 1208 he had custody of the lands of his brother, Roger, which had been seized in consequence of the interdict. From 1208 to 1210 he was one of the justices before whom fines were levied. In the period, 1210-18, he witnessed a charter of his kinsman, Saher de Quincy, Earl of Winchester. In 1211 he gave the king six fair Norway goshawks for license to marry his daughter, Alice, then widow of Richard de Solers, and to have assignation of her dowry out of the lands of her late husband. In 1213 he held the office of accountant with Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, for the customs of Norfolk and Suffolk. In 1215 he joined the confederate barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons appointed to secure the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. He served as a witness to the charter granting freedom of elections to the abbeys. He was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III in late 1215, and his lands were taken into the king's hands. He reduced Essex and Suffolk for Prince Louis of France, and in retaliation John plundered his estates in Norfolk and Suffolk. In Nov. 1216 he was granted the vill of Grimsby, Lincolnshire with all liberties and free customs by Prince Louis of France. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217, where he was taken prisoner by the king's forces. On 23 June 1217 all his lands in Lincolnshire were granted to John Marshal. On conclusion of peace, he made peace with King Henry III 6 Oct. 1217, and had restitution of his estates. In 1218 he sued Nichole de la Haye for the recovery of chattels worth £273, which she seized from him in Lincolnshire when he was at arms against the king; a compromise was reached whereby Nichole gave William 30 silver marks in return for which he quitclaimed to her "all the right and claim that he had against her." In 1219 he had leave to go to the Holy Land on crusade; he appointed Thomas his brother to act on his behalf during his absence. SIR WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD died on crusade, possibly in the Holy Land, before 25 Jan. 1220/1.

Notes:
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.

Notes:
Anesty is a village and civil parish in the East Hertfordshire district of Hertfordshire. Little Hormead is a hamlet in Hertfordshire.
Dionisie de Anesty died between 1293 and 1304. She was the second wife of the wealthy landowner Warin de Munchensi, stepmother to the great heiress Joan de Munchensi (King Henry III's sister in law). Dionsie de Anesty (her forename is sometimes modernized to Denise) was the daughter and only child of Nicholas de Anesty, a farmer living at Anstey Castle in Hertfordshire. She inherited land from her mother, a descendant of Hamon Peche, sheriff of Cambridgeshire 1155-1165. Dionisie first married Walter Langton. (This is thought to have been the Walter who was brother of the archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, and fought in the Albigensian Crusade: he would have been about 70 by the time of the marriage.) There were no children of the marriage and Walter was dead by 1234. In that year Dionisie married Warrin de Munchensi, lord of Swanscombe, Painwick and other estates. Warin's first wife, Joan, daughter of William Marshal, had just died leaving two small children, John and Joan. Dionisie was stepmother to these; in 1236 she bore Warin a son, William. Warin died in 1255. Dionisie married 3rd Robert Butyller. There were no children of that marriage. She outlived her son William, a turbulent politician who died in 1287. She acted as his executrix and as guardian of her granddaughter, named Dionisie after her, who was still a child when William died. In 1293 Dionisie endowed a nunnery in the order of Poor Clares at Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire. Walter de Bibbesworth's Treatise, addressed to Madame Dyonise de Mountechensi is preceded in some manuscripts by a letter of dedication in which he explains, "you have asked me to put in writing for your children a phrase book to teach them French."
