ROBERT de Mortain (after 1040-8 Dec 1090, bur abbaye de Grestain). Guillaume de Jumièges names (in order) "Eudes et Robert" as the two sons of Herluin and Herlève[1893]. His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who specifies that he was the half-brother of William I King of England [1894]. Named by Florence of Worcester as the brother of King William I "but only on his mother's side"[1895]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that his half-brother Guillaume II Duke of Normandy installed Robert as Comte de Mortain after expelling "Guillaume Guerlenc"[1896]. He was installed as Comte de Mortain in 1063 by his half-brother Guillaume II Duke of Normandy, after he dispossessed Guillaume Werlenc[1897]. King William I granted him nearly all the land of Cornwall as a reward for his participation at the battle of Hastings in 1066, but he does not seem to have been created Earl of Cornwall, continuing to be referred to as "comes Moritoniensis"[1898]. "Robertus Moretonii comes frater Villelmi Anglorum regis et Normannorum principis" granted property to the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated 9 Jan 1083[1899]. He joined his brother Eudes in the 1088 rebellion against King William II but was pardoned[1900].

She is named and her parentage given by Orderic Vitalis, who lists her second among her father's daughters by his first marriage and names her husband[1901]. "Robert count of Mortain" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel for "his deceased wife Mathildis and his living wife Almodis" by charter dated to [1087/91][1902]. လWillielmus comes Moritoniiဝ founded Montcute Priory, for the souls of လpatris mei Roberti comitis et matris meæ Mathillidis comitissæဝ, by undated charter[1903].

He succeeded his father in 1090 as Comte de Mortain, and in the latter's lands in Cornwall. He unsuccessfully claimed the earldom of Kent on the death of his uncle Eudes[1910]. လWillielmus comes Moritoniiဝ founded Montcute Priory, for the souls of လpatris mei Roberti comitis et matris meæ Mathillidis comitissæဝ, by undated charter[1911]. "ဦWillelmi comitis de Moritunဦ" subscribed a charter dated 14 Sep 1101 under which Henry I King of England donated property to Bath St Peter[1912]. Florence of Worcester records that "Willelmus comes de Moreteon" rebelled against Henry I King of England, who confiscated all his English lands in [1104][1913]. Florence of Worcester also records that "comes Willelmus de Moretonio" fought with Robert Duke of Normandy against King Henry I at Tinchebrai in [1106], was captured, but later escaped and fled[1914]. Orderic Vitalis records that he was imprisoned for many years and all his honours forfeited[1915]. He became a Cluniac monk at Bermondsey in 1140. m ADILILDIS, daughter of ---.

f) ROBERT de Mortain . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

Robert of Mortain, the son of Herluin of Conteville and Herleva of Falaise, was born in about 1038. Herleva was also the mother of William of Normandy, Richard Fitz Gilbert and Odo of Bayeux.

In 1048 William of Normandy had a dispute with William of Warling. William began to doubt the loyalty of William of Warling and gave his land in Mortain to Robert.

When William the Conqueror decided to invade England in 1066, he invited his three half-brothers, Robert, Richard Fitz Gilbert and Odo of Bayeux to join him. One Norman chronicler claims that Robert of Mortain contributed 120 ships to William's invasion fleet.

After his coronation in 1066, William the Conqueror claimed that all the land in England now belonged to him. William retained about a fifth of this land for his own use. The rest was distributed to those men who had helped him defeat Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

Robert of Mortain was granted manors in Cornwall (248), Yorkshire (196), Northamptonshire (99), Devon (75), Sussex (54), Dorset (49) and Buckinghamshire (29). He also had manors in ten other counties. His 793 manors made him the second largest landowner in England.

In exchange for this land. Robert had to promise to provide the king with sixty knights. In order to supply these knights, barons divided their land up into smaller units called manors. These manors were then passed on to men who promised to serve as knights when the king needed them.

Robert Curthose, William's eldest son, was expected to become king of England when his father died. However, William preferred William Rufus, who, unlike Robert, had remained loyal to his father. William Rufus became king of England in 1087 and the following year, Robert, Geoffrey of Coutances, Odo of Bayeux and Richard Fitz Gilbert led a rebellion against his rule. Many Normans remained loyal and William Rusfus defeated the rebels.
Robert of Mortain died in 1091.
