Richard FitzAlan, 1st Earl of Arundel[a] (3 February 1267 – 15 January 1302) was an English nobleman and soldier.
He was the son of John fitzAlan III and Isabella Mortimer, daughter of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore and Maud de Braose. His paternal grandparents were John fitzAlan II [4] and Maud de Verdun.
Richard was feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry in the Welsh Marches. In 1289 he was created Earl of Arundel. He was knighted by King Edward I of England in 1289.
Fought in Wales, Gascony & Scotland. He fought in the Welsh wars, 1288 to 1294, when the Welsh castle of Castell y Bere (near modern-day Towyn) was besieged by Madog ap Llywelyn. He commanded the force sent to relieve the siege and he also took part in many other campaigns in Wales; also, in Gascony 1295-97; and furthermore, in the Scottish wars, 1298-1300.
Marriage and children
He married sometime before 1285, Alice di Saluzzo (also known as Alesia di Saluzzo), daughter of Thomas I of Saluzzo in Italy.

- Edmund Fitzalan, 2nd Earl of Arundel.
- John, a priest.
- Alice Fitzalan, married Stephen de Segrave, 3rd Lord Segrave.
- Margaret Fitzalan, married William le Boteler (or Butler).
- Eleanor FitzAlan, married Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy.[b]
Burial
Richard and his mother are buried together in the sanctuary of Haughmond Abbey, long closely associated with the FitzAlan family.
Richard Goode the eight times grandson of the first Richard, married Isabel Penkeville, an eight times removed granddaughter of Lord John Penkeville who was given his estate in 1322 by King Edward II. They were married in Cornwall in 1558. The Goode surname has a long history with history with the region. In the Visitation of Cornwall of 1620 Richard Goode of Wheaton was recorded as having had a coat of arms registered to him and his family. As described it is, Gules (red) on a chevron. between. three lions rampant, or (gold), as many cinquefoils of the first. Crest-A Talbot's head erased Gules (red.) Ducally crowned or (gold.)
Richard I, called Coeur de Lion or Lion-Hearted (1157-1199), king of England (1189-1199), third son of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, born in Oxford. When he was an infant, Richard was betrothed to a daughter of the French king Louis VII, and in 1172 he was given the duchy of Aquitaine in France, his mother's inheritance. His early years were spent in warring against his father to protect his own interests; he emerged a brilliant soldier. In 1189 he became king of England and shortly thereafter set out on the Third Crusade. He was accompanied by the young Philip II, king of France, son of Louis VII. The Crusade proved a failure almost from the start, mainly because of the lack of harmony between the two kings. In Sicily Richard quarreled with Philip and refused to marry Philip's sister as planned. Instead he married Berengaria of Navarre on Cyprus, which he conquered in 1191. After capturing Acre (now 'Akko) from the Saracens that same year, Richard executed 2700 Muslim prisoners of war. It was Richard's personal valor in the Holy Land, however, rather than his ruthlessness, that made his name famous in legend. Conflict over policy in the Holy Land resulted in a break between the two, and Philip returned to France alone. Richard spent months in indecisive contests against Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, before making a truce by which Jerusalem was left in Saladin's hands. Captured en route to England by Leopold V, duke of Austria, Richard was handed over to Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. He was released in 1194 only after paying a heavy ransom. Richard returned to England and there made peace with his brother, John, later king of England, who in his absence had been conspiring with Philip to usurp the English throne. Leaving the government of England to the care of the able administrator Hubert Walter, archbishop of Canterbury, Richard went to France in 1194 to wage war against the French king. Campaigns in defense of his European lands continued for five years. Victor in most of the warfare in which he engaged, Richard was fatally wounded by an arrow during an insignificant skirmish in 1199. As king, Richard had chosen able ministers, to whom he left most matters of administration. Under his rule, however, England suffered heavy taxation, levied to support his expeditions. Sometimes cruel, sometimes magnanimous, and always courageous, Richard was well versed in the knightly accomplishments of his age and was also a poet. He was to become the hero of many legendary tales.
Richard II (1367-1400), king of England (1377-1399), whose reign was marked by national disunity and civil strife. A younger son of Edward, Prince of Wales (the Black Prince), and Joan, called the Fair Maid of Kent, Richard was born January 6, 1367, in Bordeaux, France. He was created Prince of Wales in 1376, the year of his father's death, and was placed in the care of his uncle John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. In 1377, on the death of his grandfather, King Edward III, Richard became ruler of England, then a country devastated by plague and oppressed by heavy taxes, the result of a war with France. Parliament, which had obtained greater power in the last years of Edward III's reign, now sought to secure control of the government, but was opposed by John of Gaunt and his followers. The speedy suppression of Tyler's Rebellion in 1381 was largely the result of Richard's courage and daring. A year later, at the age of 15, Richard married Anne of Bohemia, daughter of the Holy Roman emperor Charles IV, and began to seek the downfall of the great nobles who controlled Parliament and prevented him from acting independently. Led by Richard's uncle Thomas of Woodstock, duke of Gloucester, in 1388 a coterie of noblemen known in history as the lords appellant "appealed" or accused Richard's adherents of treason, banishing some and having others executed. The following year Richard, with the help of John of Gaunt, succeeded in asserting his authority. Trying to reestablish English authority in Ireland, Richard led an expedition to the country in 1394; that same year his queen died. In 1396 a marriage treaty was concluded between Richard and a French princess, Isabella. In 1397 Richard had Gloucester arrested and imprisoned at Calais, where he died, perhaps murdered. He also exiled John of Gaunt's son, Henry Bolingbroke, duke of Hereford, who later became Richard's successor as Henry IV, and executed or banished others of the lords appellant. On his return from a second military expedition to Ireland in 1399 Richard found that Bolingbroke had returned from exile and placed himself at the head of a formidable army. Richard was captured by Bolingbroke in Wales and brought captive to London, where on September 30, 1399, he formally resigned his crown. On the following day his abdication was ratified by Parliament, which then confirmed Bolingbroke as King Henry IV. Richard was secretly confined in Pontefract Castle, where he either died of starvation or was murdered in February 1400.
Richard Lestrange, 7th Lord (Baron) Strange (of Knockyn) and through his mother 3rd Lord (Baron) Mohun according to later doctrine, he having succeeded to that title on the death sp 1431 of his mother's sister Philippe (married 1st Sir Walter FitzWalter, 4th Lord (Baron) FitzWalter; married 2nd Sir John Golafre; married 3rd Edward, 1st Earl of Rutland of the 1390 creation and 2nd Duke of York, grandson of Edward III), last surviving daughter of his maternal grandfather 2nd Lord (Baron) Mohun, when the notional abeyance (according to later doctrine) in the Barony of Mohun was terminated; born 1 Aug 1381; married 1st after 9 Oct 1408 Joan or Constance (dsp on or after 28 March 1438), allegedly daughter of Lord de Grey (of Ruthin?); married 2nd by 26 Aug 1439 Elizabeth (died by 17 March 1453/4), allegedly eldest daughter of Sir Reynold or Reginald (de) Cobham, putative 3rd (Baron) Lord Cobham of Streborough Castle, Kent, and died 9 Aug 1449.

(date of deed in Culpeper County, VA. from Richard Parker and Grissel his wife) (Grissel (Grezzell) is the Welch word for Grace) [18] The 1782 Culpeper Co. VA tax record lists Richard Parker (in Kentucky), so Richard Parker migrated by/before 1782 to Kentucky. Richard Parker on 21 May 1788 received a 93 1/2 acre land grant on Beech Fork at the mouth of Cartrights Creek in Nelson County, Virginia (now Kentucky)..[25] Also see National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form.

VA. about the time of the above Frederick Co., VA. law suit. This deed is followed in sequence on page 15 by a 1765 land indenture between John Nalle and Elizabeth (Parker) his wife selling land in Culpeper Co. VA. to Benjamin Rowe.

Before his usurpation, Richard III (reigned 1483-85) had a strong power base in the north, and his reliance on northerners during his reign was to increase resentment in the south. Richard concluded a truce with Scotland to reduce his commitments in the north; he attempted genuine reconciliation by showing consideration to Lancastrians purged from office by Edward IV, and moved Henry VI's body to St George's Chapel at Windsor; the first laws written entirely in English were passed during his reign. In 1484, Richard's only legitimate son Edward predeceased him.
Resentment against Richard grew. On 7 August 1485, Henry Tudor (a direct descendant through his mother Margaret Beaufort, of John of Gaunt, one of Edward III's younger sons) landed at Milford Haven in Wales to claim the throne. On 22 August in a two-hour battle at Bosworth, Henry's forces (assisted by Lord Stanley's private army of around 7,000 which was deliberately posted so that he could join the winning side) defeated Richard's larger army and Richard was killed. Buried without a monument in Leicester, Richard's bones were scattered during the English Reformation.
Richard Walser in his book, "Jeremiah Adderton and Some of His Descendants" tells the story of a teenaged Rebecca Travers who leaves Charles County, Maryland and runs off with Jere Adderton, a widower with 5 children. Jere first married Ann Price (ca 1747) and had the 5 children mentioned above. He decides to move south and Rebecca is determined to leave with him. They traveled down the Potomac River to Virginia and then to Orange County, North Carolina and on to the banks of the Yadkin River in lower Rowan County, North Carolina.
If Rebecca Travers was born in 1758, was she the mother of Jeremiah (b. 1767): John (b. 1770) and William (b. 1772)? Was Ann Price the mother of these sons?
Rebecca remarried in 5 April 1779 to James Daniels (who died 11 Feb 1817, Rowan, NC). They had 9 more children. Children by Daniels are: Travis Daniel, Woodson, Elizabeth, James, Mary Polly, Rebecca, Nancy, Jayhus and Poindexter?

Please note the conflicting dates of 1620 and 1621. If the ship left Sept 1620, it would have had to have landed Jan 1621,
yet so many documents have the ship listed as arriving in the colonies in January of 1620.

Please note the conflicting dates of 1620 and 1621. If the ship left Sept 1620, it would have had to have landed Jan 1621,
yet so many documents have the ship listed as arriving in the colonies in January of 1620.

Rigunth was the daughter of King Chilperic of Soissons and QueenFredegund who was promised to King Recared I of the Visigoths. She wasnever married to him, however, and was sent to exil in Spain. In 584, hermother, now in control of Soissons, called her back and she lived therest of her life in the court there. The fights between her and hermother are said to have often gotten near fatal (Gregory of Tours tellsof a time when Fredegund nearly choked her to death after shutting herhead in the lid of a chest and sitting on it with all her might!).
Robert (Rollo)1 Rognavaldsson, son of Rognvald the Wolf and Ragnhilda, was born in Maer, Nord-Trondelag, Norway abt 854-870. Robert died abt 927-932 in Notre Dame, Rouen, France. His body was interred in Notre Dame, Rouen, France. He married twice. He married Poppa de Valois Duchess of Normany 886-891. He married Gisele, Duchess of Normandy France, 912. Rollo Ganger-Hrolf was conqueror of Normandy from whom are descended the Earls of Rouen, the Dukes of Normandy, and the Kings of England. Rollo was one of the most famous Vikings of his age and had learned well the battle tactics taught by his father Rognvald The Wolf. On account of Rollo's great stature, he was known as "Ganger Hrolf" or "Walking Rollo". His Danish name was Hrolfr or Rolf in various spellings. The Normans were Scandinavian invaders who settled Normandy from about 820. Raids by these Northmen or Norsemen up the Seine River began before the middle of the ninth century. They gradually established themselves at the mouths of the Seine and other rivers in northern France. In 911 the Frankish king, Charles the Simple, granted Rollo and his band of Northmen the district about Rouen, to which additional territory was added a few years later. Scandinavian immigrants arrived in great numbers to colonize the land, and the area became known as Normandy. In 912 Rollo, became the first Duke of Normandy. As was the custom at the time, men could have more than one wife. Rollo had a pagan wife, Poppa and two children. Even so, a priest married him to the daughter of the French King Charles The Simple (Gisela de France) in a christian ceremony. There were no children of this marriage. In 918, Rollo married his wife Poppa in a Christian ceremony and thus legitimised his son Guilliamme and daughter Gerloc (baptised Adele). Poppa and Rollo had to send Guilliame to be raised by clerics to guarantee his right to succede his father as Duke of Normandy. Guilliame was later known as William Longsword. Rollo is buried in a tomb in Notre Dame Cathedral at Rouen, France.
Robert (Sir), of Letheringham; knighted 1426, MP Suffolk 1428/9; married Elizabeth (married 2nd 1431 William de Hardwicke, of Hardwicke Hall, Derbys), daughter and coheir of Sir Robert Goushill, of Heveringham, Notts, by Lady Elizabeth FitzAlan, daughter of 11th/14th Earl of Arundel and widow of Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk of the 1397 creation, and died 1431. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: The death date 1431/1451 disagreement between Burke's and MCS doesn't seem to be just a misprint. Burke's has another marriage by his widow Elizabeth in 1431 and MCS has other children born after 1431 to Robert, such as Sir Henry Wingfield, born c1433/4 (line 21-10).

Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale, Earl of Carrick, Lord of Hartness, Writtle and Hatfield Broad Oak, was born in July 1243, the son and heir of Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale and Lady Isabella de Clare, daughter of the Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. The Bruce family held estates in both Scotland and England, and it is believed Robert was born at the family estate at Writtle, Essex, England.
Robert and his younger brother Richard are believed to have 'taken the cross', that is pledged themselves to be defenders of God on Holy Crusade, along with Lord Edward Longshanks (later King Edward I of England) in 1268. They received letters of protection, in July 1270, to sail with Edward for crusade that August. By October 1271, however, Robert had returned to Scotland.
Legend tells that while on Ninth Crusade, one of Robert's companions-in-arms, Adam de Kilconquhar, fell ill and died in 1270/1271, at Acre. Robert was obliged to travel to tell the sad news to Adam's widow Marjorie, Countess of Carrick. The story continues that Marjorie was so taken with the handsome 27 year old messenger that she had him held captive until he agreed to marry her, which he did at Turnberry Castle in late 1271.
Marjorie and Robert married without Scottish Royal consent, resulting in the temporary loss of Marjorie's Earldom. The lands and title were restored by King Alexander III after the couple paid a large fine.
Robert and Marjorie had 11 children:
- Isabel Bruce (1272– 1358), married King Eric II of Norway.
- Christina Bruce, married, Sir Christopher Seton, then Sir Andrew Murray.
- Robert the Bruce
- Mary Bruce, married Niall Campbell, then Alexander Fraser of Touchfraser and Cowie.
- Niall or Nigel Bruce, executed 1306 in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England.
- Edward Bruce, High King of Ireland.
- Sir Thomas Bruce, executed 1307.
- Alexander Bruce, executed 1307.
- Matilda Bruce, married Hugh, Earl of Ross
- Elizabeth Bruce, married William Dishington
- Margaret Bruce, married Sir William Carlyle. *Margaret's ancestry is sometimes disputed.
Robert was present at the coronation of King Edward I of England (who he had crusaded with in 1270) and would later swear fealty to him as overlord of Scotland. In 1283 he participated in the trial of Dafydd ap Gruffydd.
Robert supported his father's claim to the throne of Scotland, following the death of Queen Margaret I in 1290. The initial civil proceedings, known as The Great Cause, awarded the Crown to his father's 1st cousin once removed, and rival, John Balliol. Robert's father, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, resigned his Lordship of Annandale, and claim to the throne of Scotland to Robert, allegedly to avoid having to swear fealty to Balliol.
Robert's wife of 21 years, Marjorie, Countess of Carrick, died in 1292 and Robert passed the Earldom of Carrick, to their oldest son Robert.
In 1293 Robert accompanied his oldest daughter Isabel to Norway where he arranged her marriage to King Eric II of Norway, the son in law of the late King Alexander III of Scotland and father of the short-lived Maid of Norway, Queen Margaret I of Scotland.
After the death of his father in 1295 Robert was made Constable and Keeper of Carlisle Castle, a position his father had previously held.
On 19 September 1295 Robert re-married, taking to wife Matilda (FitzAlan) of Clun, widow of Philip Burnell. The marriage did not go well, or perhaps she did not like his politics, for they divorced or annulled the marriage within a year. Many sources do not even record the marriage because it was so short and produced no children. A license however confirms it.
Robert refused a summons to the Scottish host and King John Balliol seized Annandale, and awarded it to John 'The Red' Comyn, Lord of Badenoch. There is evidence that Bruce lived at the Bruce estate in Writtle, Essex, England, during this time.
1296 was eventful for Robert: In January of 1296 Robert was summoned to attend King Edward at Salisbury and in March of the same year John Comyn, the new Lord of Annandale, crossed the border and attacked Castle Carlile. Bruce, as Constable and Keeper of Carlisle Castle, and fighting for King Edward, repelled them. Therefore, the Wars of Scottish Independence began in a clash between the Bruces and Comyns.
In April 1296 he fought for Edward, at the Battle of Dunbar Castle.
King Edward I denied his claim to the throne of Scotland and Robert retired to his estates in Essex. Scotland would be without a king until the accession of Robert's son in 1306.
Robert was denied the throne, but Annandale was restored to him.
And about October 1296 Robert married for a 3rd time, taking to wife Eleanor. They remained married to his death but had no children.
In 1304 Robert de Brus died shortly before Easter, while en route to Annandale.
He was buried at Holm Cultram Abbey in Cumberland.
Birth: July 12 1243;
Annandale District, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Death; June 7 1307;
Scotland, United Kingdom.
Robert FitzEdith m.2 (before 1162) as her second husband, MATHILDE d´Avranches, widow of [GEOFFROY de Crimes/GUILLAUME de Curcy], daughter of ROBERT d´Avranches & his second wife Matilda Avenell.
Robert FitzRoy, 1st Earl of Gloucester (c. 1090 – 31 October 1147) (alias Robert Rufus, Robert de Caen, Robert Consul) was an illegitimate son of King Henry I of England. He was the half-brother of the Empress Matilda, and her chief military supporter during the civil war known as The Anarchy, in which she vied with Stephen of Blois for the throne of England.
Robert was probably the eldest of Henry's many illegitimate children. He was born before his father's accession to the English throne, either during the reign of his grandfather William the Conqueror or his uncle William Rufus. He is sometimes and erroneously designated as a son of Nest, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last king of Deheubarth, although his mother has been identified as a member of "the Gay or Gayt family of north Oxfordshire", possibly a daughter of Rainald Gay (fl. 1086) of Hampton Gay and Northbrook Gay in Oxfordshire. Rainald had known issue Robert Gay of Hampton (died c. 1138) and Stephen Gay of Northbrook (died after 1154). A number of Oxfordshire women feature as the mothers of Robert's siblings.
Robert may have been a native of Caen or he may have been only Constable and Governor of that city, jure uxoris.
Robert's father had contracted him in marriage to Mabel FitzHamon, daughter and heir of Robert Fitzhamon, but the marriage was not solemnized until June 1119 at Lisieux. His wife brought him the substantial honours of Gloucester in England and Glamorgan in Wales, and the honours of Sainte-Scholasse-sur-Sarthe and Évrecy in Normandy, as well as Creully. After the White Ship disaster late in 1120, and probably because of this marriage, in 1121 or 1122 his father created him Earl of Gloucester.
Family
Robert and his wife Mabel FitzHamon married in 1119, and they had seven children:
1. William FitzRobert (c.1121 – 1183): succeeded his father as 2nd Earl of Gloucester
2. Roger FitzRobert (c. 1123 – 1179): Bishop of Worcester
3. Hamon FitzRobert, knight (c. 1124 – 1159): killed at the siege of Toulouse.
4. Richard FitzRobert, Lord of Creully (c. 1125 – 1175): succeeded his mother as Sire de Creully.
5. Matilda FitzRobert (c. 1126 – 1189): married in 1143 Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester.
6. Mabel FitzRobert: married Aubrey de Vere
7. Philip FitzRobert, Lord of Cricklade (c. 1130 – 1148)
He also had four illegitimate children:
1. Richard FitzRobert (died 1142): Bishop of Bayeux [mother: Isabel de Douvres, sister of Richard de Douvres, bishop of Bayeux (1107– 1133)]
2. Robert FitzRobert (died 1170): Castellan of Gloucester, married in 1147 Hawise de Reviers (daughter of Baldwin de Reviers, 1st Earl of Devon and his first wife Adelisa), had daughter Mabel FitzRobert (married firstly Jordan de Chambernon and secondly William de Soliers)
3. Mabel FitzRobert: married Gruffud, Lord of Senghenydd, son of Ifor Bach.
4. Thomas FitzRobert
Relationship with King Stephen
There is evidence in the contemporary source, the Gesta Stephani, that Robert was proposed by some as a candidate for the throne, but his illegitimacy ruled him out:
"Among others came Robert, Earl of Gloucester, son of King Henry, but a bastard, a man of proved talent and admirable wisdom. When he was advised, as the story went, to claim the throne on his father's death, deterred by sounder advice he by no means assented, saying it was fairer to yield it to his sister's son (the future Henry II of England), than presumptuously to arrogate it to himself."
This suggestion cannot have led to any idea that he and Stephen were rivals for the Crown, as Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1136 referred to Robert as one of the 'pillars' of the new King's rule.
The capture of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141 gave the Empress Matilda the upper hand in her battle for the throne, but by alienating the citizens of London she failed to be crowned Queen. Her forces were defeated at the Rout of Winchester on 14 September 1141, and Robert of Gloucester was captured nearby at Stockbridge.
The two prisoners, King Stephen and Robert of Gloucester, were then exchanged, but by freeing Stephen, the Empress Matilda had given up her best chance of becoming queen. She later returned to France, where she died in 1167, though her son succeeded Stephen as King Henry II in 1154.
Robert of Gloucester died in 1147 at Bristol Castle, where he had previously imprisoned King Stephen, and was buried at St James' Priory, Bristol, which he had founded.
"Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
"ROBERT FITZ ROY, in right of his wife, of Gloucester, Bristol, Tewkesbury, and Cardiff, seigneur of Creully in Calvados, and Torigny in Manche, Normandy, illegitimate son, probably born about 1090. He witnessed charters of his father the king from about April 1113. He fought at the Battle of Brémulé in 1119, where his father, King Henry I, defeated King Louis VI of France. He married before 1122 MABEL FITZ ROBERT, daughter and heiress of Robert Fitz Hamon, of Gloucester, Bristol, Tewkesbury, and Cardiff, seigneur of Creully in Calvados, and Torigny in Manche, Normandy, hereditary Governor of Caen, by Sybil, daughter of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. They had six sons, William [Earl of Gloucester], Philip, Hamon, Roger [Bishop of Worcester], Richard [seigneur of Creully], and Robert, and two daughters, Maud and Mabel. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Richard [Bishop of Bayeux]. He was created Earl of Gloucester between June and September 1122. In 1123 he brought a force to assist in the capture of Brionne Castle, which was held by rebellious Norman barons. In 1126 he had the custody of his uncle, Robert, Duke of Normandy, as a prisoner at Bristol, and later at Cardiff. The same year he secured a working relationship with the Welsh-dominated church of south Wales, under its aggressive bishop, Urban. In 1127 he did homage to the Empress Maud, recognizing her as his father's successor in the kingdom. In 1130 he sanctioned the foundation of Neath Abbey. In 1133, following the death of Richard, Bishop of Bayeux, he was sent by his father to Bayeux to enquire as to the fees and services due to the see by its barons, knights, and vavasours. He was present at his father's death at Lions-le-Forêt in Dec. 1135, and had 60,000 livres from him, apparently as executor. On Stephen's subsequent accession to the English throne and his recognition as Duke by the Normans, Robert gave up Falaise to his agents, but removed his father's treasure. In March 1136 he returned to England, and after Easter did homage for his English lands. About this time or in the following year he founded St. James's Priory at Bristol. In 1137 he accompanied Stephen to Normandy, but they quarrelled, and next year his English and Welsh estates were forfeited. Thereupon he prepared for war with Stephen and took up the cause of his half-sister, Maud, in Normandy. In Sept. 1139 he landed in England with Maud and took her to Arundel Castle, and became her commander-in-chief in the civil war that ensued. His first significant campaign, once the empress was established in England, was directed at the city of Worcester, which he sacked 7 November 1139. In May 1140 he was delegated by his sister to negotiate at Bath with the king' envoys, but nothing came of the meeting. Later in 1140 he and the Earl of Warwick led a successful raid on Nottingham. In 1141 he and his son-in-law, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, recruited a large army, including a force of Welsh under the kings of Glamorgan and Gwynedd. Their army encountered the king's army near Lincoln and dispersed it, capturing the king himself. The king was removed to Gloucester and then to Bristol, Earl Robert's principal English castle. He subsequently accompanied Maud in her progress to Winchester and London, and when the citizens drove her out, he fled with her to Oxford. He was captured at Stockbridge 14 Sept. 1141, and taken prisoner to Rochester. Shortly afterwards, he was exchanged for King Stephen. In June 1142 Maud sent him over to her husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, to urge him to invade England; Geoffrey declined to help until he had conquered Normandy, whereupon Robert joined him in the campaign. Sometime between 1141-3, probably in June 1142, he signed a treaty friendship with Miles, Earl of Hereford, by which the two men agreed to support each other, especially in the war between King Stephen and Empress Maud. In 1143 he defeated King Stephen at Wilton. In 1144 he blockaded Malmesbury, Stephen refusing to battle; but Maud's party was so much reduced that Stephen was able to take Faringdon, which Robert had fortified. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. In the spring of 1147 he took Henry, Maud's son, back to Wareham and sent him over to Anjou. In his last year, probably on his deathbed, he made moves to assist the Cistercians, who were attempting to set up a house in upland Glamorgan; the resultant abbey of Margam counted him as its founder. ROBERT FITZ ROY, 1st Earl of Gloucester, died at Bristol 31 October 1147, and was buried in the Priory church of St. James, BristoL His widow, Mabel, Countess of Gloucester, died 29 Sept. 1157.
Robert I, by name ROBERT The MAGNIFICENT, or The DEVIL, French ROBERT le MAGNIFIQUE, or le DIABLE (d. July 1035, Nicaea), duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later.
A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

Roots: Robert I, Duke of Normandy. Married (Dan ish wife) Arlette (or Herleve). Left issue by this mistress.
K: Robert I "le Magnifique ou le Diable." Count d'Hieme. Duke of Normandy.
In line 1350 he cal ls him erroneously calls him Richard I.
Robert was called both "The Magnificen t" and also "Robert the Devil," because of his "reckless and violent deeds of audacity, whether in private life or in warlike expeditions."
For example the Duke of Normandy was looking out at his fortress. He saw a beautiful, tanner's daughter soaking animals skins in water. She had hiked up her skirt. The duke liked what he saw. He sent a soldier to pick her up. She said she would go to the duke's castle if she rode the soldier's horse. The soldier agreed. She borrowed a nice dress. Then rode the soldier's horse side-saddle. She and the duke had sex and the future William the Conqueror king of England was conceived.
In 1034 or 1035, after a "fair life from the political point of view, but one full of turbulence and moral irregularity" he undertook a pilgrimage, barefoot, to Jerusalem " to expiate his sins..." The Norman prelates and barons urged him not to go because they believed he might die on the pilgrimage (they were right) and he had no successor. Robert, therefore, named his bastard son, William, as his successor and prevailed upon King Henry I of France to sanction the arrangement--a decision the king was later to regret.
Guizot says Robert I was the fifth in succession from Rollo, the first ruler of Normandy. William was named after William Longsword, the son and successor
of Rollo. So the Norman reign went from Rollo, to William Longsword, Richard I, Richard II, Richard III, Robert I and William, who would become William the Conqueror and, subsequently, William I, King of England.
Richard III and Robert I were sons of Richard II, according to a chart in Butler.
Robert instructed Herluin (another spelling) de Contevi lle to marry his mistress, Harlette, if he failed to return from the Crusade. Herluin did so, and they had children.
Dukes says Robert's last years were ma rked by signs of "eccentricity, if not unsoundness of mind."

Note: Robert contributed to the restoration of Henry King of France to his throne, and received from the gratitude of that monarch, the Vexin, as an additional to his patrimonial domains. In the 8th year of his reign, curiosity or devotion induced him to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so impaired his consitution he died on his way home.

CHAPTER I: THE CONQUEROR
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
His father was Robert I, Duke of Normandy, styled by some "the Magnificent," from his liberalities and love of splendour; "the Jerusalemite," in consequence of his pilgrimage; and by others less courteously "the Devil," though wherefore or at what period has not been satisfactorily ascertained. From a passage in "L'Estoire de Seint ?dward le Rei," it would appear there was a tradition in the family of Rollo, of one of his descendants (Richard I?) having beaten and bound his Satanic majesty,
"E Duc Richard de'apres li vint,
Ki li diable ateint e tint
E le venqait e le lia."
Robert was the second son of Richard II, Duke of Normandy, by his wife Judith, daughter of Conan le Tort (the Crooked), Count of Rennes, and sister of the half blood to Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany; and it was during the lifetime of his father, and while Robert was only Count of the Hiemois, and it may be in his nonage that he first saw Herleve, Harlett, or Arlot (for it is written in all manner of ways), daughter of a burgess of Falaise, an accident the results of which were the subjugation of England and the succession of a line of kings unsurpassed for valour and power by the greatest sovereigns in Europe.
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
"... Robert's lawful marriage with Estrith, sister of Canute the Great, and widow of UIf, a distinguished Dane, who was murdered by order of his brother-in-law in 1025. Robert is said to have ill used and repudiated her, at what exact period is unknown; but he had no issue by her, which might possibly be one cause of his displeasure."
Robert II (2 March 1316 – 19 April 1390) was King of Scots from 1371 to his death in 1390. He was the first monarch of the House of Stewart as the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, and of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of the Scottish king Robert the Bruce by his first wife Isabella of Mar.
In 1336, he first married Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan. The marriage was criticized for being uncanonical, so he remarried her in 1349 after receiving a papal dispensation in 1347.
From this union, ten children reached adulthood:
- John, who became King of Scotland as Robert III, married Anabella Drummond.
- Walter, husband of Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Fife.
- Robert, Earl of Fife and Duke of Albany, married Margaret Graham, Countess of Menteith, and 2nd Muriella Keith.
- Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, "The Wolf of Badenoch", married Euphemia of Ross.
- Margaret, married John of Islay, Lord of the Isles.
- Marjorie, married John Dunbar, Earl of Moray, then Sir Alexander Keith.
- Elizabeth married Thomas de la Hay, Lord High Constable of Scotland.
- Isabella, married James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas, and 2nd John Edmonstone of Edmonstone.
- Johanna (Jean), married Sir John Keith, then 2nd John Lyon, Lord of Glamis and 3rd Sir James Sandilands.
- Katherine, married Sir Robert Logan of Grugar and Restalrig, Lord High Admiral of Scotland.
In 1355, Robert married his second wife Euphemia de Ross, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Ross. They had four children:
- David Stewart, Earl of Strathearn, born about 1356 and died in 1389.
- Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, born about 1360, beheaded at Edinburgh in 1437 for being involved in the assassination of King James I.
- Elizabeth, married in 1380 David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford.
- Egidia, married William Douglas of Nithsdale.
[Information added by OldeBruce in April 2022:
Edward Bruce, younger brother of Robert the Bruce, was named heir to the throne but he died without legitimate children on 3 December 1318 in a battle near Dundalk in Ireland. Marjorie by this time had died in a riding accident – probably in 1317. Parliament decreed her infant son, Robert Stewart, as heir presumptive, but this lapsed on 5 March 1324 on the birth of a son, David, to King Robert and his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Robert Stewart inherited the title of High Steward of Scotland on his father's death on 9 April 1326, and a Parliament held in July 1326 confirmed the young Steward as heir should Prince David die without a successor. In 1329 King Robert I died and the six-year-old David succeeded to the throne with Sir Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray appointed Guardian of Scotland.
Edward Balliol, son of King John Balliol, assisted by the English and Scottish nobles disinherited by Robert I, invaded Scotland inflicting heavy defeats on the Bruce party on 11 August 1332 at Dupplin Moor and Halidon Hill on 19 July 1333. Robert fought at Halidon, where his uncle and former guardian, Sir James Stewart, was killed. Following this battle, Robert's lands in the west were given by Balliol to his supporter David Strathbogie, the titular Earl of Atholl. Robert took refuge in the fortress of Dumbarton Castle in the Clyde estuary to join his uncle, King David. In May 1334 David escaped to France leaving Robert and John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray as joint Guardians of the kingdom. Robert succeeded in regaining his lands but following Randolph's capture by the English in July 1335, his possessions were once again targeted by the forces of Balliol and King Edward III of England. This may have persuaded Robert to submit to Balliol and the English king and may explain his removal as Guardian by September 1335. The Guardianship transferred to Sir Andrew Murray of Bothwell but following his death in 1338 Robert was re-appointed and retained the office until King David returned from France in June 1341. Robert accompanied David into battle at Neville's Cross on 17 October 1346 but he and Patrick Dunbar, Earl of March escaped or fled the field and David was taken prisoner. In October 1357, the king was ransomed for 100,000 marks to be paid in installments over ten years.
Robert joined a rebellion against David in 1363 but submitted to him following a threat to his right of succession. In 1364, David presented a proposal to Parliament that would cancel the remaining ransom debt if it was agreed that a Plantagenet heir would inherit the Scottish throne should he die without issue. This was rejected and Robert succeeded to the throne at the age of 55 following David's unexpected death in 1371. England still controlled large sectors in the Lothians and in the border country so King Robert allowed his southern earls to engage in actions in the English zones to regain their territories, halted trade with England and renewed treaties with France. By 1384, the Scots had re-taken most of the occupied lands, but following the commencement of Anglo-French peace talks, Robert was reluctant to commit Scotland to all-out war and obtained Scotland's inclusion in the peace treaty. Robert's peace strategy was a factor in the virtual coup in 1384 when he lost control of the country, first to his eldest son, John, Earl of Carrick, afterwards King Robert III, and then from 1388 to John's younger brother, Robert, Earl of Fife, afterwards the first Duke of Albany. Robert II died in Dundonald Castle in 1390 and was buried at Scone Abbey.
Heir presumptive
Robert Stewart, born in 1316, was the only child of Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland and King Robert I's daughter Marjorie Bruce, who died probably in 1317 following a riding accident.[1] He had the upbringing of a Gaelic noble on the Stewart lands in Bute, Clydeside, and in Renfrew.[1] In 1315 parliament removed Marjorie's right as heir to her father in favour of her uncle, Edward Bruce.[2] Edward was killed at the Battle of Faughart, near Dundalk on 14 October 1318,[3] resulting in a hastily arranged Parliament in December to enact a new entail naming Marjorie's son, Robert, as heir should the king die without a successor.[4] The birth of a son, afterwards David II, to King Robert on 5 March 1324 cancelled Robert Stewart's position as heir presumptive, but a Parliament at Cambuskenneth in July 1326 restored him in the line of succession should David die without an heir.[2] This reinstatement of his status was accompanied by the gift of lands in Argyll, Roxburghshire and the Lothians.[5]
The first war of independence began in the reign of King John Balliol.[6] His short reign was bedeviled by Edward I's insistence on his overlordship of Scotland. The Scottish leadership concluded that only war could release the country from the English king's continued weakening of Balliol's sovereignty and so finalised a treaty of reciprocal assistance with France in October 1295.[7] The Scots forayed into England in March 1296— this incursion together with the French treaty angered the English king and provoked an invasion of Scotland taking Berwick on 30 March before defeating the Scots army at Dunbar on 27 April.[8] John Balliol submitted to Edward and resigned the throne to him before being sent to London as a prisoner. Despite this, resistance to the English led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray had emerged in the name of King John Balliol.[8] On their deaths, Robert the Bruce continued to resist the English and eventually succeeded in defeating the forces of Edward II of England and gained the Scottish throne for himself.[7]
David Bruce, aged five, became king on 7 June 1329 on the death of his father Robert. Walter the Steward had died earlier on 9 April 1327,[9] and the orphaned eleven-year-old Robert was placed under the guardianship of his uncle, Sir James Stewart of Durrisdeer,[2] who along with Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and William Lindsey, Archdeacon of St Andrews were appointed as joint Guardians of the kingdom.[10] David's accession kindled the second independence war which threatened Robert's position as heir.[11] In 1332 Edward Balliol, son of the deposed John Balliol, spearheaded an attack on the Bruce sovereignty with the tacit support of King Edward III of England and the explicit endorsement of 'the disinherited'.[12] Edward Balliol's forces delivered heavy defeats on the Bruce supporters at Dupplin Moor on 11 August 1332 and again at Halidon Hill on 19 July 1333, at which the 17-year-old Robert participated.[10] Robert's estates were overrun by Balliol, who granted them to David Strathbogie, titular earl of Atholl, but Robert evaded capture and gained protection at Dumbarton Castle where King David was also taking refuge.[11] Very few other strongholds remained in Scottish hands in the winter of 1333— only the castles of Kildrummy (held by Christian Bruce, elder sister of Robert I and wife of Andrew Murray of Bothwell), Loch Leven, Loch Doon, and Urquhart held out against Balliol forces.[13]
Dairsie Castle where the 1335 Parliament was held
In May 1334, the situation looked dire for the house of Bruce and David II gained safety in France. Robert set about winning back his lands in the west of Scotland.
Was in command of the second division of the Scotch Army at Halidon Hill, and was one of the few who escaped the carnage of that disastrous day. See Europäisch Stammtafeln Band II tafel 69. There is some confusion over which daughter is which and who are their mothers which still needs some clarification.
Robert II (2 March 1316 – 19 April 1390) was King of Scots from 1371 to his death in 1390. He was the first monarch of the House of Stewart as the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, and of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of the Scottish king Robert the Bruce by his first wife Isabella of Mar.
Edward Bruce, younger brother of Robert the Bruce, was named heir presumptive but died without heirs on 3 December 1318. Marjorie Bruce had died probably in 1317 in a riding accident and parliament decreed her infant son, Robert Stewart, as heir presumptive, but this lapsed on 5 March 1324 on the birth of a son, David, to King Robert and his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Robert Stewart became High Steward of Scotland on his father's death on 9 April 1327, and in the same year parliament confirmed the young Steward as heir should Prince David die without a successor. In 1329 King Robert I died and the six-year-old David succeeded to the throne under the guardianship of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray.
Robert II (of France), called Robert the Pious (972-1031), king of France (996-1031), the son of King Hugh Capet, born in Orléans, and educated at Reims under the French scholar Gerbert, who later became Pope Sylvester II. In 996 Robert married, as his second wife, his cousin Bertha of Burgundy. Two years later Pope Gregory V excommunicated him and annulled this marriage, which was considered incestuous by the church; in 1003 Robert submitted to the pope and married the daughter of the marquis of Provence, Constance of Arles, by whom he had four sons. He recognized Hugh, the eldest of these sons, as his successor. After Hugh's death in 1025, the other sons, aided by their mother, revolted; Robert was still fighting them at the time of his own death. Robert was called The Pious because of his humility and charity; he was also esteemed as a soldier and ruler.
BIOGRAPHY: 9th gen. desc. of Char lemagne BIOGRAPHY: Believed to have married Bertha of Burgundy, widow of count Eudes I of Chartes. If so, he probably married her after 1003 and married Constance of Toulouse about 1010. In this case, the children of Robert II are not associated with the proper mother. More research is needed here. BIOGRAPHY: King of France 996/103 1 BIOGRAPHY: Orleans- city in north central France, capitlal of Loiret Department, on the Loire River. It is a transportation and commercial center. Major manufactures include chemicals, processed foods, textiles, and machinery. Tourism is also important to the city's economy; the Sainte-Croix Cathedral, destroyed by the Huguenots (French Protestants) in 1567 and rebuilt by Henry IV and his successors, is a principal attraction. The University of Orleans is in the city.
Robert Keith was the 2nd son of Sir William Keith, 12th Marischal of Scotland, and his wife Margaret Fraser Keith of Touchfraser. His parents married about 1347 (certainly before 1351). Robert's date of birth is not recorded, he was likely born about 1350 at Dunotter Castle, seat of Clan Keith, in Kincardineshire, Scotland.
Robert's older brother John died in 1374. When his father died between 1407 and 1413, Robert succeeded him as Marischal of Scotland, and his Chief of Clan Keith.
According to the Peerage Robert was knighted between 1383 and 1390.
Robert died sometime before 20 Jul 1430.
---------------------
SIR ROBERT De KEITH, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir, succeeded his father. After the death of his elder brother he had received from his parents the barony of Strathkyn; and, after the decease of his nephew Robert, the hereditary sheriffdom of Kincardine and a settlement in reversion of all the lands of Keith, with the office of the Marshalcy of Scotland, to hold to him and his heirs male, according to the charter of entail made by Robert I to Sir Robert De Keith, Marshal of Scotland, his father's great-uncle, by the ordinance of Parliament. He was knighted between February 1383 and September 1390. In May 1421 he was one of the Scottish hostages suggested by England as acceptable for the deliverance of James I [SCT]; in December 1423 and February 1424 he had licence to meet the returning King at Durham, with a retinue of 16 persons; and in July 1425, being then a hostage in York Castle, received permission, with others, to return to Scotland, on providing equivalent hostages. He married the heiress of the barony of Troup, who predeceased him. He seems to have been living 2, but was dead before 20 July 1430, when his son, William De Keith, as Marshal of Scotland, witnessed a charter of the Constable.
[Complete Peerage VIII:474]
...
Sir Robert, the eldest surviving son, succeeded his father before the end of 1410. In two charters of the year 1407, Robert De Keth, son of William the Marischal, appears as a substitute after John Stewart, Lord of Buchan, and his two brothers Andrew and Robert. In 1375 he had a charter of confirmation from Robert II of the forest of Cowie, the forest of the Mounth, and other lands. In March 1406-7, Robert, Duke Of Albany, confirmed two charters by his father-in-law, Sir William De Keth, Marischal of Scotland, to his son and heir Sir Robert De Keth, Lord of Troup, one of the office of Sheriff of Kincardineshire, the other of the barony of Keith, office of Marischal of Scotland, lands of Colbanyston, barony of Aldene (now Aden), and forest of Kintore in Aberdeenshire, and other lands in Banffshire. He was one of the commissioners to treat for the liberation of King James I in 1423-24, and was a hostage for his ransom 28 March 1424, his estate being at this time valued at 800 merks. On 16 June 1425, he was handed over to Sir John Langeton, Warden of the Castle of York, but on the same day leave was given him to return to Scotland until the following Martinmas.
He was dead before 20 July 1430, when his son William witnesses as 'marescallus ScotiA?' a charter by Sir William Hay of Erroll, Constable of Scotland. On 24 January 1446-47 King James II issued a brieve to the Sheriffs of Aberdeen and Banff ordaining them to pay the bishops the teind penny due from the profits of Aden, Kintore, and Skene, through the decease of 'our cosynge umquhile the Lord of Kethe.' He married the heiress of Troup, whose hame has not been ascertained, with whom he got that barony. He is also but on doubtful authority, said to have married Elizabeth daughter of Sir David Lindsay, first Earl of Crawford.
[The Scots Peerage VI:38-39]
Robert left his family, moved to Texas. There he died of some type of posioning. He and two friends were drinking a Coke, someone spiked cokes. Robert died, other two were very ill. At one time he dranked heavily. He died 6 years before his family were made aware.
ROBERT LEGH ESQUIRE was born 3 May 1410, Adlington, Cheshire, England, to Sir Robert Legh III, Sheriff of Cheshire, (1389-1415) and Matilda Belgrave (1386-1478.) He married(1) Isabell Savage; (2) *Isabell de Stanley about 1434 of Adlington, Cheshire, Eng
The Leghs of Adlington were established by Robert de Leigh who inherited the lordship of the manor of Adlington from his mother Elena de Corona (née de Baguley). His father, John de Leigh, who was lord of the manor of Over Knutsford and seated at Norbury Booths, descended in the male line from the Venable family.
Robert de Leigh, lieutenant to Sir Thomas de Ferrers "Lieutenant of the Prince's Bachelor", was a Riding-Forester of the Forest of Macclesfield, Bailiff of the Hundred of Macclesfield and a Justice in Eyre for Cheshire.
Robert de Legh, the second in succession, was one of the Black Prince's Esquires. Sir Robert Legh the third in succession was knighted during the reign of Richard II. He was twice Sheriff of Cheshire. He fought at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 against Henry IV. Robert Legh the fourth in succession was preparing to take part in the Battle of Agincourt but died of pestilence ten days before the battle.
Some years after the dissolution of the monasteries, Thomas Legh the tenth in succession acquired the rights to the manor of Prestbury, together with the advowson of the parish church and tithes. Leghs became patrons of the Living and Lay Rectors of Prestbury as they still are. Thomas Legh served as High Sheriff of Cheshire for 1588/89.
Sir Urian Legh was knighted for military services by taking Cádiz in 1596. He was appointed High Sheriff in 1613.
Thomas Legh (1593– 1644), the twelfth in succession, was twice High Sheriff of Cheshire (1629 and 1642) and a Colonel in the Royalist Army during the Civil War. He lost Adlington Hall in December 1642 but regained it later. In February 1644 the house was again besieged. This time it had to be surrendered to the Parliamentarians in order to prevent severe damage. It was not returned to the family until 1656 after heavy fines had been paid.
Thomas Legh (1614– 1687), the thirteenth in succession, was gazetted Colonel of Militia and appointed High Sheriff in 1662 in recognition of his services to the Stuarts. The next three in succession were also Colonels of Militia and High Sheriffs, John (the fifteenth) also serving as MP for Bodmin from 1715 to 1722. On the death of Charles Legh in 1781 the direct male line expired but the succession continued through Charles' niece Elizabeth Rowlls who assumed the surname of Legh by Royal Sign Manual.

Robert Mortimer is listed along with his father-in-law John Howard as among the fallen at the Battle of Bosworth Field 22 Aug 1485. His place of residence is listed as Thorpe le Soken near Tendring, Essex, England.
-----------------------------------
The following post to SGM, 10 Dec 2003, by Brad Verity proves who Robert's father and mother are. I am still maintaining the ancestry for this branch of the Mortimer family suggested in Brad's post of 14 Oct 2003 (included in my notes immediately after this post) by making David a brother of Hugh of Mortimer's Hall (at least until more is known).

"Mortimer's Hall" was apparently a mistake for "Divers lands and tenements in Harwiche and Dovercourte [Essex] called 'Mortimers', worth 5l., held of the said Earl [of Oxford]." See below.
Jim Weber replied on 15-Oct-2003:
"On another tack, I had contacted The Richard III Foundation, which maintains a Battle of Bosworth Field website, showing that Sir Robert Mortimer of Thorpe le Soken was slain at the battle."
The Foundation was quite correct. Robert Mortimer (he was not a knight), according to his IPM, died "22 Aug., 1 Hen. VII". See below.
"Jo Ann Ricca also stated that, looking on the internet, she found his father to be named David. I have seen this on the internet too, but I have found no source given for where the name "David" came from, so FWIW."
His father was indeed David Mortimer - see below.
"I have tried several variations of the name Mortimer on PRO and A2A and have not come up with anything related to Thorpe le Soken. Thorpe le Soken may not have been a large holding, and Robert may well have been "of Mortimer's Hall" (possibly in Hampshire; or in Stratfield Mortimer, Berkshire, just across the border from Hampshire?)."
No Mortimer's Hall for Robert - someone got confused and the mistake has been picked up in several sources. Thorpe le Soken's association with these Mortimers is described in 1486: "Manor of Landymer Hall in the parish of Thorp within the soke of St. Paul's, London, worth 10l., held of the Dean of St. Paul's, as of his said soke, by fealty and suit of court." See below.
Not sure what a 'soke' is.
And now the mystery of 'Who was Robert Mortimer, husband of Isabel Howard?' is solved, thanks to the beauty of IPMs. He was the son and heir of David Mortimer, esquire, and of Isabel (aka Elizabeth), daughter of Elizias Doreward (aka Durward), of Martel Hall and Great Bramley, Essex.
Here are the IPMs of Robert Mortimer and his father David Mortimer, as printed in the CIPMs for Henry VII (Volume 1):
"100. ROBERT MORTYMER.
Com. 17 July, 1 Hen. VII; inq. 31 Oct., 2 Hen. VII.
One Isabel Durward was seised in fee of the under-mentioned manors of Martel Hall, and Great Brumley, and of 200a. land in Dovercorte, and intermarried with David Mortymer, esq., and had issue by him the said Robert. David Mortymer survives, and is seised of the said manors and lands, as tenant by the curtesy, with reversion to the said Robert and his heirs.
.
The said Robert died 22 Aug., 1 Hen. VII [1485 - killed at Bosworth with his father-in-law John Howard, Duke of Norfolk], seised of the under-mentioned manor of Landymer Hall, and lands called 'Badons', 'Folton Hall,' and 'Panteryse' in fee. Elyzabeth Mortymer, aged 10 and more, is his daughter and heir.
.
ESSEX. The reversion of the manor of Martel Hall in Ardele, within the hundred of Tendryng, worth 24l., held of the King, as of the duchy of Lancaster, by 1/8 of a knight's fee.
The reversion of a moiety of the manor of Great Brumley, worth 20l., held of the Earl of Oxford, as of Hedingham Castle, by fealty and suit of court.
The reversion of 200a. land, wood, meadow, and pasture in Dovercorte, worth 5l., held of the Earl of Notingham [William Berkeley, co-heir to the Mowbray inheritance along with John Howard, Duke of Norfolk], as of the manor of Dovercorte.
A messuage, 300a. land, wood, meadow, and pasture, and 3s. rent in Tendryng and Manytre, called 'Badons', worth 8 marks, held of the King in chief, by service of 1/2 of a knight's fee.
Manor of Landymer Hall in the parish of Thorp within the soke of St. Paul's, London, worth 10l., held of the Dean of St. Paul's, as of his said soke, by fealty and suit of court.
A messuage, and 200a. land, wood, meadow, and pasture in the parish of Ramsey, called 'Folton Hall,' worth 100s., tenure unknown.
A messuage, and 100a. land, wood, meadow, and pasture in the parish of Dovercorte, called 'Panteryse,' worth 4 marks, held of the said Earl of Notingham, as of his said manor, by fealty and suit of court.
C. Series II. Vol. 1 (104.)"
Since the manor of Landymer Hall (in the Thorpe le Soken parish), plus the lands called 'Badons', 'Folton Hall' and 'Panteryse' were held by Robert Mortimer himself, and Robert died before his father, these lands must have been given to him by his parents, and/or his father-in-law John Howard, probably at his marriage to Isabel, eldest daughter of Howard.
This IPM tells us Robert's mother 'Isabel Durward' died before 1486. Also, that Elizabeth Mortimer was the only surviving child of Robert Mortimer and Isabel Howard, and was born around 1476. Since none of these Hen. VII CIPM abstracts mention dower, we cannot be certain that Isabel Howard died before her husband Robert - perhaps the Close, Fine or Patent Rolls of the 1480s can shed further light.
"1006. DAVID MORTYMER.
Writ 7 April, 9 Hen. VII; inq. 16 Oct., 10 Hen. VII.

The HOP bio of Sir John Guildford, the only son of Elizabeth Mortimer and her husband George Guildford of Hemsted, Kent, has him "born by 1508". The above IPM tells us that his parents Elizabeth and George were married by Oct. 1494, and that Elizabeth was born around 1476, which matches her age in her father's IPM eight years previous.
As to who were the parents of David Mortimer, esquire (d. 1494), we still don't know. But I'm guessing that his granddaughter Elizabeth's marriage to George Guildford (which David must've had a hand in arranging), the younger brother of Sir Edward Guildford, who was married "by 1496" [HOP - bio of Sir Edward Guildford] to Eleanor West, granddaughter of Sir Hugh Mortimer of Mortimer's Hall, Hampshire, still suggests a connection to that family.
David Mortimer marrying an heiress in Essex and having no lands of his own strongly suggests he was a younger son. Perhaps he was a younger son of a Mortimer from Mortimer's Hall in Hampshire - is Hampshire near Essex?
At any rate, it's great to have some of the blanks filled in.
Cheers, ------Brad

The following post to SGM, 14 Oct 2003, by Brad Verity, reviews much of the evidence and proposes an ancestry based on choronology, other connections between the Mortimer family and the Guildford family, and the common references to Hugh Mortimer (the father) as "of Mortimer's Hall, Hants" and to Robert Mortimer as "of Mortimer's Hall, Essex" (Thus far there appears to be only one Mortimer's Hall, which was in Stratfield Mortimer, Berks on the Hants border):

"I have not been able to determine the ancestry of Robert Mortimer, knight who married Isabel, daughter of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk. Gary Boyd Roberts' Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants, p. 246, is the only source that I have on the marriage and their daughter Elizabeth Mortimer who m. George Guilford, but no dates and or place names are provided."
Anne Crawford, in her 1992 biography of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, in the Introduction to the Howard Household Books says this:
"Of Howard's four older girls, the eldest, Isabel, married Robert Mortimer, whose lands lay in Essex and who appears in the second set of memoranda on a number of occasions. Jane, the youngest, married John Timperley, whose father of the same name was, like Howard, a member of the Duke of Norfolk's council. Both Mortimer and Timperley formed part of their father-in-law's train when it was necessary, but neither were members of the household ... These marriages were all respectable rather than ambitious, most of them arranged in the early 1460s, before Howard's real rise to wealth and power."
Unfortunately, Crawford makes no mention of Robert Mortimer's parents or of the manors in Essex that he held. Since Isabel was living at home with her father in 1461, we can assume her marriage took place after that.
From the 1982 HOP bio of Sir John Guildford, born "by 1508, only son of George Guildford of Hemsted [in Kent] by Elizabeth, da. of Sir Robert Mortimer of Mortimer's Hall, Essex." Of George Guildford, son-in-law of Sir Robert Mortimer and Isabel Howard, he "appears not to have shared [his brothers'] political proclivities and by the son's time the family had passed its heyday."
George Guildford was the middle son of Sir Richard Guildford, of Cranbrook and Rolveden, Comptroller to Henry VII, being the younger son by his first wife Anne, daughter and heiress of John Pimpe of Kent. His elder full brother Sir Edward Guildford was born by 1479, and his younger half-brother Sir Henry Guildford was born in 1489, so George was born probably in the early 1480s. George's father Sir Richard died on 6 Sept. 1506. George himself must've died before 1534, when his brother Sir Edward died and George's son John as heir male of Sir Richard claimed the family lands over Sir Edward's daughter Jane, the heir general.
No mention is made in HOP [History of Parliament] of Sir John Guildford (d. 5 July 1565), grandson of Sir Robert Mortimer, or of Sir John's son and heir Thomas Guildford (d. June 1575), holding any lands in Essex. This casts some doubt on whether Sir John's mother Elizabeth was actually the heiress of her parents Sir Robert Mortimer and Isabel Howard. But it may also be that the Guildford lands in Kent, where Elizabeth's son and grandson were seated, and where they were returned as MPs, were far more important than any Essex lands inherited from her. The 4 May 1560 will (PCC 25 Morrison) of Sir John and the 1 Nov. 1574 will (PCC 32 Pyckering) of his son and heir Thomas could shed light on any Essex lands inherited from Elizabeth Mortimer.
As for HOP's claim that Sir Robert Mortimer was seated at Mortimer's Hall in Essex ...
Chris Phillips wrote on 11-21-2002:
"I never had any luck in locating this supposed Mortimer's Hall in Hampshire. Hugh Mortimer's family had held Tedstone Wafer in Herefordshire since the beginning of the 15th century, and also held land in Worcestershire. I don't think they had any connection with East Anglia."
There just may be a connection between Sir Robert Mortimer of Essex, husband of Isabel Howard, and the siblings Sir John Mortimer, husband of Margaret Nevill, daughter of the Marquess of Montagu, and Elizabeth Mortimer, wife of Thomas West, 8th Lord De La Warr.
Mike Davidson wrote way back on 11-28-1999 in the thread 'Guildford and West, Lords la Warr':
"On page 157 of Volume IV., in the De La Warr article, a table shows the following children of Thomas West, 8th Lord la Warr, d. 11 October 1525, and his 1st wife Elizabeth Mortimer, sister of Sir John Mortimer, daughter of Hugh Mortimer of Mortimer's Hall and Eleanor Cornwall, daughter of John Cornwall."
Chris Phillips wrote on 6-23-2002 in the thread 'CP Query: Mortimer of "Mortimer's Hall", Hampshire':
"I've also found a thread discussing them on the "Later Medieval Britain Mailing List". Mark Burgess quoted a detailed biography of Sir John Mortimer (c.1450-1504) which like CP places "Mortimer Hall" in Hampshire. It says his father died c.1455, and was the son of another Hugh Mortimer who was killed at Agincourt. It says Sir John "Married Margaret third dau. and coh. of John Nevill, marquess Montagu (slain 1471), and widow of Thomas Horne. She married (3) Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk, who divorced her." It concludes " D. shortly before 1 Nov. 1504, when his writ diem clausit was sent to the eschrs. of Worcs., Heref. and Salop. According to further information in that discussion, posted by Pam Benstead, Sir John's father died in May 1460 [so he would be the Hugh Mortymer, knight, whose inquisitions post mortem were taken 38,39 Henry VI (c.1460), for Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the marches of Wales], and these Mortimers descended from Roger Mortimer of Tedstone Wafer in Herefordshire, who died 1402."
Elizabeth Mortimer, daughter of Sir Hugh Mortimer "of Mortimer's Hall", Hampshire, was the mother of Eleanor West, the first wife of Sir Edward Guildford, elder brother of George Guildford, who was the husband of Elizabeth Mortimer, daughter of Sir Robert Mortimer "of Mortimer's Hall", Essex. So one brother married a granddaughter of Mortimer's Hall and the other brother married a daughter of Mortimer's Hall. Further, George Guildford married his son John and daughter Mary to the half-sister Barbara West and half-brother Owen West of Eleanor, his brother Sir Edward Guildford's wife.
Could Sir Robert Mortimer of Essex been a son of Sir Hugh Mortimer "of Mortimer's Hall" (d. 1460) - the elder son and heir? Sir Robert's wife Isabel Howard was born in the mid/late 1440s (she was John Howard's eldest daughter, born after his first child, son Thomas, in 1443) The younger son being Sir John Mortimer(c. 1455-1504), who married a widow and wealthy co-heiress. And both being brothers to Elizabeth Mortimer, wife of Thomas West, Lord De La Warr (an East Anglian magnate). Making the Guildford brothers married to first cousins?
It would explain the "Mortimer's Hall" reference in both otherwise unrelated Mortimer branches. Though we still don't know which county it was in.

Following is an e-mail which I received from the Richard III Foundation (which explains the reference to "Yorkists") in response to a query I made about their listing of Robert Mortimer falling at the Battle of Bosworth:
Jim
We will have an informational package out to you. Us Yorkists are not such a bad sort.
So far, here is what we found about Robert Mortimer.
Robert Mortimer was born about 1446 in Thorpe le Soken, Essex, the son of David Mortimer. His mother's name is unknown.
He married Isabell Howard, daughter of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, and his 1st wife Catherine Moleyns. Isabell was probably born about 1448 at the Howard estate of Tendring, Essex.
According to the Howard Household Books, Robert's property was already in Essex, so he probably did not receive it through his marriage. Thorpe le Soken is about 25 miles from Tendring, so the Mortimers and the Howards were probably considered neighbors. Robert was part of his father-in-law's train, but was not part of his immediate household.
Robert was killed at Bosworth, along with his father-in-law. It is not known when Isabell died. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, who was probably born about 1482 in Tendring. She married George Guilford (born about 1480 in Hempstead Place, Kent). They had at least one son, John, born about 1510.

Robert Oliphant was part of the English colonial settlement of North Carolina who came to the Carolinas, starting in the coastal areas, where settlers migrated south from Virginia. Explorers and fur traders were the first to reach the Piedmont, paving the way for eventual settlers. Rowan County was formed in 1753 from the northern part of Anson County. It was named for Matthew Rowan, acting governor of North Carolina from 1753 to 1754. It was intended to incorporate all of the lands of the Granville District that had previously been included in Anson County.
A house several miles west of present-day Salisbury in "the Irish settlement" served as the first courthouse starting June 15, 1753. Daniel Boone's father Squire Boone served as one of the first magistrates. By mid-1754 a new courthouse site was selected near "the place where the Old Waggon Road (crosses) over Grant's Creek."
We don't know why or how Robert Oliphant died two years (1785) after his young wife died (1783 - probably in childbirth).
A firm connection to the Robert Oliphant from the Carolinas who served in the light dragoons under Samuel Martin, Lt Col. Polk, and General Sumter during 1781 cannot be established at this time.
Refer to Charles Wiseley and familysearch.org for the birth date adjustment to 1743 contrary to other researchers claiming 1755 for birth which would have made him 15 at the time of marrying Rebecca then 23 yrs old.

Biography
Robert Peyton inherited large estates in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk and, as the son-in-law of Baron Rich and brother-in-law of Roger North, was eminently fitted to serve a turn as knight of the shire. He was an active local official but his career was otherwise undistinguished, not to say obscure. Nothing has come to light about his life between his education and his succeeding his father. His marriage in or before 1550 might have looked like the prelude to a political career, but Peyton was to rise no higher than the shrievalty. What, if anything, he did when the succession to the throne was contested so near his home we do not know, although his appointment as Queen Mary's first sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire implies his loyalty to the new regime. It was during this year of office that five prisoners escaped from Cambridge castle gaol, an escape for which Peyton was legally answerable and in respect of which he obtained a pardon in July 1554. He was described as 'conformable' in religion in 1564 and his will, made a week before his death on 19 Oct. 1590, has a long religious preamble.

Robert, son of Angus, is the first of his line mentioned by the surname of Shaw, his father being called in the Valuation Eoll and elsewhere " Angus mac Bean," that is "son of Bean." The first mention we find of Bobert is as witness— with Lachlan Mackintosh of Kinrara, brother of the eighteenth chief of Mackintosh and author of the MS.
History of the Mackintoshes to a deed of Benunciation, dated 30th November 1669, by Lachlan Mackintosh of Aberarder in favour of Donald and William MacGillivray.
As Robert Schaw of Tordarroch he is recorded in Vol. iii. of the Commissary Records of Inverness, under date 19th June 1677, as "faithfully giving up debts resting to deceased John m'Ean vie Alister in Tordarroch." Again, as Robert Shaw portioner of Leys he is named a Commissioner of Supply for the county of Inverness in an Act of Parliament of 7th June 1690 ; and, also as portioner of Leys, his name appears in the Valuation Boll of Inverness-shire in 1691, where his portion is valued at £96 13s. Scots. In this roll, Tordarroch is set down under the Laird of Mackintosh, the superior. Robert died in 1691, leaving three sons
