Note	He was an illigitimate son of King HENRY I. According to "The Dictionary of National Biography", his mother was probably an unknownFrench woman. This birth was before HENRY became king. On insufficientgrounds some claim his mother to be Nesta, dau. of RHYS AP TEWDR, King ofDehubarth. In his "Complete Peerage", Cockayne is of the opinion that hismother was most likely SIBYL CORBET. He fought at the Battle of Bremule in 1119, where his father defeatedKing LOUIS VI of France (RIN 1531). In 1122 he was created Earl ofGloucester. In 1123, he led a force to assist in the capture of thecastle of Brionne, which was held by rebel Norman barons. In 1126 he hadcustody of the imprisoned rebel, Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1127 he didhomage to the EMPRESS MATILDA, recognizng her as his father's successorto the throne. When Stephen was chosen as king over the EMPRESS MATILDA, Robert didhomage to him for his English lands. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephento Normandy where a quarrel ensued. He then threw his support to MATILDA,who was in Normandy, and obtained the surrender of Caen and Bayeux to herhusband, GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, Count of Anjou (RIN 787). In Sep. 1139 he he landed in England with MATILDA and took her to ArundelCastle. He became her commander-in-chief in the civil war which followed.Robert was captured by Stephen's forces, but Stephen had also beenpreviously captured by MATILDA's. The two were returned to theirrespective camps in an even exchange. MATILDA sent Robert to Anjou toattempt to convince her husband, GEOFFREY, to come to her aid. GEOFFREY declined to help until he had conquered Normandy, so Robert joined in hiscampaign. However, hearing that MATILDA was beseiged at Oxford, hehurried back to her assistance. He took MATILDA's and GEOFFREY's son,HENRY (the future King HENRY II) with him. In 1143 Robert defeatedStephen at Wilton and in 1144 he blockaded Malmesbury, Stephen refusingbattle. MATILDA's support had gradually dwindled, so Robert was unable tocontinue to press her cause. In 1147 Robert sent HENRY back to Anjou.Later that year Robert died of fever at Bristol.
