Robert was one of the barons that followed Edward the Confessor to England. "As staller, he was a member of the royal household and he was one of those present at the deathbed of the king; on the Bayeux tapestry he is probably the person supporting the cushion on which the dying Edward leans. Since Little Domesday reports (Domesday Book, 2.44, 44v, 45v) that some of his estates were given him ?after the death of King Edward? (a circumlocution for the unmentionable reign of Harold II) it can be presumed that he continued in Harold's service." (Ref: ODNB)

"His mother, Wimarc (Guimara) has a Breton name, but that of his father is not recorded. Since he is said to have been related both to the Confessor and to William I, he was perhaps an illegitimate scion of the Norman ducal house; Osbert de Clare says he was ?outstanding [praeclarus] among the Norman people because of his birth? (?La vie de S. Édouard?, 108). Robert attested charters of the Confessor from 1059 and had built his castle at Clavering, Essex, by 1052." (Ref: ODNB)

Robert married Beatrice in 1029. (Beatrice was born about 1010 in Rayleigh, Essex, England. and died about 1091.)
