On Leicester, Earldom of [Burke's Peerage, p. 1671]:
Robert de Beaumont, a companion in arms of William I (The Conqueror) atHastings was granted after the Conquest much land in the Midlands ofEngland, but most of it was in Warwickshire rather than Leicestershire.Indeed his younger brother became Earl of Warwick. Robert also heldterritory in Normandy and is usually referred to as Count of Meulan. Hewas a leading political figure in the reigns of William II and Henry Iand on the death of one Ives de Grandmesnil in the First Crusade, thefunds for campaigning in which Ives had raised from Robert on thesecurity of his estates, [Robert] came into full possession of them,including a sizeable part of Leicester. The rest of the town was grantedhim by Henry I and it is possible that he became Earl of Leicester. Hisson, another Robert, certainly called himself Earl of Leicester.
