Robert de Bellomont came into England with the Conqueror, and contributedmainly to the Norman triumph at Hastings. This Robert inherited theEarldom of Meullent in Normandy, from his mother Adeliza de Waleran. Ofhis 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 whichhe commanded in the right wing of the army." For these gallant serviceshe obtained sixty-four lordships in Warwickshire, and many others inLeicester, Wilts, Northampton, Gloucester, in all ninety-one. Hislordship did not, however, arrive at the dignity of the English peeragebefore the reign of Henry I, when that monarch created him Earl ofLeicester.
