This Robert inherited the Earldom of Meullent in Normandy, from his mother Adeliza de Waleran. Of his conduct at Hastings it is said: " A certain Norman young soldier, making his first onset in that fight, did what deserved lasting fame, boldly charging and breaking in upon the enemy, with that
regiment which he commanded in the right wing of the army." For these gallant services he obtain ed sixty-four lordships in Warwickshire, and many others in Leicester, Wilts, Northampton, Gloucester, in all ninety-one. His lordship did not, however, arrive at the dignity of the English peerage before the reign of Henry I, when that monarch created him Earl of Leicester.
