Sir Robert de Shelton (Henry3, Ralph2, Nicholas1) Blomfield says that in 1270 Henry de Shelton held the manor of the fee of Arundel and divers lands of Nic. Shelton with the manors of Arsa sive Illeye Combusta, Brent or Burnt-Illeye, in Suffolk , the manors of Scole and of Bedingham in Norfolk; and ROBERT his son and heir was above 25 years old. Regarding the manor of Scole, Henry de Schelton held it and Robert his son inherited this with the manor of Shelton and Bedingham in 1286. The Inquisition Post Mortem for Henry de Shelton, dated 24 Feb 55 Henry III (1271)[9] shows his son and heir was Robert de Scelton, aged 25 or more (which puts his birth at at least 1244/5). Sir Robert was in the service of the King 6 July 1277 and 18 July 1277 received a writ of special protection to go to Wales in the King?s service.[10]. 2 August 1282 he was again summoned to attend the King[11]. , 3 August 1295, Robert de Shelton and Robert de Ufford were ordered to attend in person the keeping of the seacoast near Dunwich with horses and arms against foreign enemies should they come. Sir Robert?s wife was Isabel, surname unknown. Blomefield and the Visitation say that Sir Robert de Shelton died in 1306. His Inquisition Post Mortem, dated 25 August 34 Edward I (1306)[12] mention Isabel his wife, who apparently survived him, son and heir John, aged above 26 years, and other sons Henry and Thomas. 25 August 1306 a writ was issued from the Fine Rolls for the escheator beyond Trent to take into the King's hands the lands late of Robert de Shelton, deceased, tenant in chief(6). They were later given to his son and heir John 12 November 1306 after he did homage for them[13]. A writ was issued by Edward I from Carlisle giving an order for dower to be assigned to Isabel, late wife of Robert de Shelton, tenant-in-chief, upon her taking oath that she will not wed without the King?s licence[14].
Known children of Sir Robert de Shelton and Isabel (birth order not known):

i. Cecila Shelton: The Visitation says that she married Nicholas de Castello of Raveningham, son of Walter de Castello by Sara daughter of Sir Thomas Roscelyne, Knt.

ii. Sir John de Shelton: son and heir

iii. Thomas de Shelton: listed as 2nd son in his father?s IPM in 1306. Blomefield says that this Thomas and his brother Henry presented to the church in Scole[15]. Possibly the Thomas de Shelton for whom a writ was issued 20 July 1322 from York to go on the King?s service in Scotland with Thomas of Brotherton, Earl Marshal and Earl of Norfolk[16]. Another writ was issued 26 March 1324 to him for protection to go beyond the seas with Edmund, Earl of Kent[17].

iv. Henry de Shelton: listed as 3rd son in his father?s IPM in 1306. With his brother Thomas, presented to the church in Scole.

v. Robert de Shelton: Mentioned in his father? s IPM. He is likely the Robert de Shelton that Blomefield says in 1316 held fees in Mundham and Bedingham.
