According to Brian Tompsett, UK genealogist
(www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/cgi-bin/gedlkup/n=royal?royal01525:
"Robert contributed to the restoration of Henry King of France to his
throne, and received from the gratitude of that monarch, the Vexin, as an
additional to his patrimonial domains. In the 8th year of his reign,
curiosity or dovotion induced him to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so
impaired his constitution he died on his way home. Some sources call him
Robert I the Magnificent!"
Some sources list his birth in about 999 and death on July 2,1035 or in
1031.
