Notes

Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Cornwall, pp.427-428). Count of Mortain

in Normandy. He was in command of the chivalry of the Coetenin at the

battle of Hastings. THE CONQUERER made him lord of almost the entire

county of Cornwall, causing him to be later referred to as Earl of

Cornwall. Robert actually never used the title and was usually referred

to as Count of Mortain. In 1069 he, with ROBERT, COUNT OF EU (RIN

3833), defeated the Danes in the parts of Lindsey with great slaughter.

He joined his brother, Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux and Earl of Kent, in 1088,

in a rebellion against King William II in favor of Robert Curthose, but

was subsequently pardoned.

Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Derby, p. 191), identifies him as AGNES'

father.

Robert of Mortain, half-brother of William the Conqueror, became the

wealthiest subject of the English crown in the generation after the

Conquest. The second son of the Conqueror's mother, Herleve, and Herluin,

vicomte of Conteville, Robert was appointed count of Mortain in south-west

Normandy by William around 1055. Robert's elevation was part of William's

policy of creating a close network of loyal nobles, often related to the ducal

house, with and through whom William controlled his duchy and, later, was

to conquer his kingdom (Robert's full brother, Odo, was bishop of Bayeux).

Robert's prominent part in the invasion of England was remembered in his

depiction in the Bayeux Tapestry advising William with his brother Odo after

the landing at Pevensey. Both at Hastings and during the often difficult

pacification of England 1066-69, Robert proved an effective military

subordinate to William. His reward was massive. By 1086, with almost eight

hundred manors from Sussex to Yorkshire to Cornwall, as well as valuable

castles, such as Pevensey, Robert was the greatest secular landholder

after the king and the church. Together, his and Odo's estates were worth

?5,000: the next richest lay holding were valued at ?750. However powerful

his grip on his vassals, William preferred to keep power in the family. This

presented problems; both his brother Odo of Bayeux and son Robert

Curthose openly rebelled. Unlike the restless Odo, Robert of Mortain made

little individual mark on events. He spent much time with his half-brother in

a career, until 1087, conspicuous by its loyalty. In 1087, Robert persuaded

the dying king to release Odo from prison and was probably one of those

who insisted that Robert Curthose succeed to Normandy. Although initially

accepting William Rufus as king, in 1088 Robert threw in his lot with Odo

and Curthose. He held Pevensey for the rebels, withstanding a six-week

siege by Rufus in person. After his submission, he was pardoned but

withdrew to Normandy to die. Robert emerges dimly from the records, the

least colourful or defined of a family of striking personalities. He seems to

have been on close terms with both his brothers and to have harboured a

soft spot for Robert Curthose. Alternatively, he wished to preside over his

lands free from superior exactions, an independence fostered perhaps by

his paternal inheritance (it was in his father's monastery at Grestain that

he was buried), and later offered by the policies of Odo and the character

of Curthose. Only the accident of his mother's liaison with Duke Robert I

elevated this child of provincial aristocracy to the greatest heights of the

Anglo-Norman baronage. In the eleventh century at least, nobility could be

acquired by favour and fortune, not just by blood. [Source: Who's Who in

Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman, Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd.,

----------

Robert de Moreton, Earl of Cornwall with a grant of 793 manors. In the time

of William Rufus, this nobleman joining his brother, the Earl of Kent, raised

the standard of rebellion in favour of Robert Curthose, and held the castle

of Pevensey for that prince. He delivered it up, however, upon its being

invested by the king, and made his peace. His lordship m. Maud, dau. of

Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, and had issue, William, his

successor, and three daus., whose christian names are unknown: the eldest

m. Andrew de Vitrei; the 2nd m. Guy de Val; and the youngest m. the Earl

of Thoulouse. The time of the Earl of Cornwall's death has not been

ascertained, "but if he lived," says Dugdale, "after King William Rufus so

fatally lost his life by the glance of an arrow in New Forest from the bow of

Walter Tirell, then it was unto him that this strange apparition happened,

which I shall here speak of; otherwise, it must be to his son and successor,

Earl William, the story whereof is as followeth. In the very hour that the

king received the fatal stroke, the Earl of Cornwall being hunting in a wood

at a distance from the place and, left alone by his attendants, was

accidentally met by a very great black goat bearing the king all black and

naked and wounded through the midst of his breast. Adjuring the goat by

the Holy Trinity to tell what that was he so carried, he answered, 'I am

carrying your king to judgement, yea, that tyrant, William Rufus, for I am

an evil spirit and the revenger of malice which he bore to the church of

God, and it was I that did cause this his slaughter; the protomartyr of

England, St. Alban, commanded me so to do, who complained to God of him

for his grievous oppressions in the Isle of Britain, which he first hallowed.

All which the earl soon after related to his followers." His lordship was s. by

his son, William de Moreton, 2nd Earl of Cornwall. [Sir Bernard Burke,

Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd.,

London, 1883, p. 381, Moreton, or (more correctly,) de Burgo, Earls of

Cornwall]
