The illegitimate son of King Henry I of England (reigned 1100-35), Robert
wasmade Earl of Gloucester in 1122. After the death of Henry I and
usurpation of power by Stephen (December 1135), Gloucester became the
leader of the partyloyal to Matilda, his half sister, who had been
designated heir to the throne by Henry I. He took Matilda to England in
September 1139 and at the head ofher forces won from Stephen most of
western England and southern Wales. In February 1141 he captured Stephen
at Lincoln and imprisoned him in Bristol. Later that year Gloucester was
captured at Winchester, Hampshire, and exchangedfor the king. He
continued to be the mainstay of Matilda's cause until his death.
Chroniclers considered Gloucester an able and sagacious leader.
