(b) In his collections for Suffolk genealogies, Sir Simonds d'Ewes saysthat Robert de Ufford was, "uti colligo", 2nd son of John de Peyton, sonof Nigel, who lived in the reign of Henry I; but there is no evidenceamong the charters which he there transcribes from the documents then(Dec 1631) penes Sir Edward Peyton, Knight and Barinet, at Isleham,Cambs, and no evidence has been traced elsewhere; nor is the chronologyeasily reconcilable with the known facts. Robert de Ufford is known tohave had a brother John, who was b. in July 1276. A John de Ufford hadletters of protection for 3 years, 7 Nov 1280, proceeding by the King'slicense, to Ireland, and letters of safe conduct, 14 Mar 1282/3 and 30Aug 1284, to go to the Court of Rome. Royal assent was given to hiselection as Bishop of Enachdune, a disputed Irish see, 16 Mar 1282/3, buthe d. "prosecuting his right" thereto before 1300. Another man (? othermen) of this name (fl. 1302-25) is described with John, brother ofRobert, in 'Knights of Edward I'.

--------------------------------------

of this family, says Sir William Dugdale, which afterwards arrived togreat honour, I have not seen anything memorable until the 53rd Henry III[1269], when Robert, a younger son of John de Peyton, of Peyton, co.Suffolk, assuming his surname from the lordship of Ufford in that shire,became Robert de Ufford. This Robert was Justice of Ireland in the reignof Henry III and again in the reign of Edward I. He m. Mary, widow ofWilliam de Say, and, dying in the 26th of the latter king, was s. by hisson, Sir Robert de Ufford.

& says his wife was Sara de VESEY dau & h of Wm. de VESEY, Earl ofSuffolk (in right of his wife) Maud de GLANVILLE dau of Ralph DeGlanville s of Gilbert de GLANVILLE, 3rd Earl of Suffolk (who wasstripped of his estates & title by Henry III).

Ralph de Glanville, the eldest son (of Gilbert de Glanville, 3rd Earl ofSuffolk), was a benefactor to Leiston Abbey, founded by hisgreat-grandfather, the Lord Chief Justice. "Ufortunately I have not comeacross anything further connected with him but that he left an onlydaughter, Maud de Glanville, his sole heiress, who married Sir William deVesey, [fn 46] of Ireland, who, as most people do say, was created Earlof Suffolk, in right of his wife, in 1326. Sir William de Vesey had issueby her, Sara de Vesey, sole heiress, who married Robert de Ufford, [fn47] and whose issue were now made Earls of Suffolk. The original name ofUfford was Peyton of Peyton, in Suffolk. The above-named Robert deUfford, or more properly Peyton, was a younger son of John de Peyton, andhe assumed his surname from his lordship of Ufford.

Robert de Ufford, who married Sara de Vesey, inherited through herconsiderable estates which had formerly belonged to the Glanvilles. Theirson, Robert de Ufford, was summoned to Parliament as a Baron 13 Jan.1308, and continued to sit as such until the year 1311. He considerablyaugmented his estates by his marriage with Cicely, daughter and coheir ofRobert, Lord Valoins, and also heiress of another branch of the Glanvillefamily.

An account of the descent of the Glanville inheritance to the Uffords isgiven under the Lordships of Bawdsey, Glosthorpe, Orford, Aldringham, andCombs.

This Robert de Ufford was succeeded by his son, Robert de Ufford, Knightof the Garter, who served in the wars of Saxony in the reign of EdwardII., and in the beginning of Edward III. he obtained a grant for life ofthe town and castle of Oreford, formerly the Glanville property, thecastle having been built by Glanville, Earl of Suffolk, [fn 48] and ofwhich Bartholomew de Glanville was governor in the days of the secondHenry.
