Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (121:26), (185:1).
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.
