Earl Robert de Mellent ("the King's Son") de Caen of Gloucester 
Robert de Mellent, known as "the King's Son", was born about 1090 in Caen, Normandy, France.

His paternal grandparents were King William ("the Conqueror") I of England and Matilda of Flanders; his maternal grandparents were Robert de Beaumont of Meulan and Elizabeth de Crepi. He had three sisters named Constance Matilda, Alix and Joan Elizabeth. He had five half-brothers and nine half-sisters, named Rainald, William, Henry FitzHenry, Haldane, "Strongbow", Lady of the English, "The Empress", Maud, Eustacia, Emme, Sibyl Elizabeth, Annora, Mathilde and Basilia. He died on October 31st, 1147 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. He was buried in St James Priory, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England.General Notes
1st Earl of Gloucester
An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife.
