Notes:
                   Robert, Earl of Gloucester , illegitimate son of Henry I, King of England,
was born probably in LCaen, Normandy, before his father's accession to the
throne. His marriage to Matilda, or Mabel, the daughter of Robert Fitz
Hamon, brought him large estates in Normandy, Wales, & England: between 1121
and 1123 he was created an earl.   At the death of Henry in 1135 the succession
came into dispute, but Robert submitted to the King's nephew, Stephen, on
condition that he be left in possession of all his honors and dignities.
In 1137 Robert crossed over to England with his helf-sister, the Empress
Matilda, Henry's only surviving lawful child and heiress to England & Normandy,
and for 8 years fought against Sephen's claim to the royal title.  Robertdefeated Stephen at Lincoln Castle in 1141 and took him prisoner, thus winning
the kingdom for Matilda, but later in the year Robert was himself taken
prisoner at Stockbridge, after the wiege of Winchester, and was exchanged for
Stephen.  The following year he joined Geoffrey of Anjou in the campaign in
Normandy, after which he hurried back to England & defeated Stephen at Wilton.
He was unable, however, to press his victory. The Angevin party in England
gradually disintegrated and Robert died at Bristol on Oct 31, 1147.  A
warrior, statesman, scholar, and patron of letters.  Robert was highly
praised by the Historian William of Malmesbury.
