General Notes

Robert's proven ancestry is non-existence.  There are indications that the lines were related in some fashion.  But there are various opinions about how they are related.  The line set out for Robert's brother Hervey, based on Moriarty, has Robert in it as an elder brother, but states that he dsp.  The line with Robert as grandfather of Ranulph is based on R. Mortimer, "The Family of Rannulf de Glanville", 'Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research' LIV (1981) 1-16.  I have put them together, assuming that Robert did not "dsp".

My apoligies for the length of the following & I pray that this relates to the same individual:

There was then half a plough belonging to the men, 3 acres of meadow, and the 4th part of a mill. There were then 2 horses, now there are none. Now there are 4 steers, 14 hogs, and 43 sheep, and 6 freemen of the same. Leuin holds in commendation 12 1/2 acres. There was always 1/2 a plough among all, and there is a soke man of the same Edric of [i.e., holding] 28 acres. There was always 1/2 a plough.
