Notes - "Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
"ROBERT FITZ ROBERT, of Conarton (in Gwithian), Cornwell, Castellan of Gloucester, younger son. He married HAWISE DE REDVERS, daughter of Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon. They had one daughter, Mabel. Sometime in the period, 1141-61, he and his wife, Hawise, made a gift to Quarr Abbey. Sometime in the period, 1147-71, he witnessed a charter of his brother, Earl William, at Bristol to Gilbert Fitz John. Sometime in the period, 1147-50, probably before March 1148/9, he witnessed a treaty between his brother, Earl William, and Roger, Earl of Hereford. Sometime in the period, c. 1147-8, he witnessed a charter of his mother, Countess Mabel, and his brother, Earl William, announcing restorations made to Jocelin, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1154, as Robert son of the Earl of Gloucester, he conveyed to Richard the butler the manor of Conarton (in Gwithian), Cornwall for a payment 400 marks of silver and a silk cloth, and to his wife, "Harvisa" a palfrey. ROBERT FITZ ROBERT (or FITZ COUNT) died in 1170. In the period, c.1193-1211, his widow, Hawise de Redvers, gave the manors of Fleet and Ibberton, Dorset to her grandson, Jordan de Champernoun.
