1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM FITZ ROBERT, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, lord of Glamorgan and Caerleon, seigneur of Torigny in Manche, Normandy, etc., Governor of Wareham Castle, 1144, son and heir. In 1128 he witnessed an agreement between his father and the Abbot of Fecamp. He married about 1150 HAWISE OF LEICESTER, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester, by Amice, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy [see LEICESTER 6 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Robert (living c.1170), and three daughters, Mabel, Amice, and Isabel. In 1128 he was a witness to an agreement between his father and the Abbot of Fécamp. In 1141 he served as surety for his father, then a prisoner at Rochester. In 1147 he overthrew Henry de Tracy at Castle Cary. Sometime in the period, 1147-50, probably before March 1148/9, he signed a treaty with Roger, Earl of Hereford, by which William agreed to hold faith and give aid to Roger as his man, against all men except their lord, Henry; William promised aid especially for the purpose of disinheriting Gilbert de Lacy. Sometime in the period, 1147-83, he granted Margam Abbey land in Margam, in exchange for the land of Baldwin the Harper of Newborough. Sometime in the period, 1147-83, he gave to the church and monks of St. Giles, Little Malvern, Worcestershire ten acres in the forest of Malvern with appurtenances in the said forest for inclosure and cultivation. In 1148 he gave a confirmation to Gloucester jointly with his mother. In 1153 he was one of the witnesses to the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]; he also witnessed a charter of Duke Henry dated at Bristol. In 1158 he and his wife and son Robert were captured at Cardiff Castle by Ivor the Little and carried into the woods, where they were held as prisoners until the earl redressed Ivor's grievances. He witnessed a charter of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Leicester, dated c.1150-60. He founded Keynsham Priory in Somerset in 1169, and was a benefactor to many other religious foundations. About 1170 he granted his son, Robert, land in Margam, which Robert thereupon gave to Abbot Conan and the convent. In 1173 he took the king's part against his sons, and later that year went to the help of the king's forces at the Battle of Fornham. In 1174 he submitted to the king, and in 1175 he surrendered Bristol Castle to him. In 1178 he witnessed King Henry's charter to Waltham Abbey. In 1183 the king imprisoned a number of magnates of whose loyalty he was doubtful, including Earl William. About 1183 Earl William granted Walter Lageles land which his father held, for an annual rent of eight shillings. About 1183 he granted Kenaithur son of Herbert son of Godwinet and his brothers the lands of Keleculum and Treikik WILLIAM FITZ ROBERT, Earl of Gloucester, died 23 Nov. 1183, and was buried at Keynsham Abbey, Somerset. In the period, 1183-97, his widow, Hawise, granted W. de Arundel her servant a burgage situated beside the bridge of her borough of Fairford. In the same period, she granted to the burgesses of Peters field all the liberties and free customs which William her husband formerly granted to them by his charter. In 1189-90 she witnessed a charter of his brother, Robert, Earl of Leicester. Hawise, Countess of Gloucester, died 24 April 1197.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROBERT FITZ ROY, in right of his wife, of Gloucester, Bristol, Tewkesbury, and Cardiff, seigneur of Creully in Calvados, and Torigny in Manche, Normandy, illegitimate son, probably born about 1090. He witnessed charters of his father the king from about April 1113. He fought at the Battle of Brémulé in 1119, where his father, King Henry I, defeated King Louis VI of France. He married before 1122 MABEL FITZ ROBERT, daughter and heiress of Robert Fitz Hamon, of Gloucester, Bristol, Tewkesbury, and Cardiff, seigneur of Creully in Calvados, and Torigny in Manche, Normandy, hereditary Governor of Caen, by Sybil, daughter of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. They had six sons, William [Earl of Gloucester], Philip, Hamon, Roger [Bishop of Worcester], Richard [seigneur of Creully], and Robert, and two daughters, Maud and Mabel. By an unknown mistress, he also had an illegitimate son, Richard [Bishop of Bayeux]. He was created Earl of Gloucester between June and September 1122. In 1123 he brought a force to assist in the capture of Brionne Castle, which was held by rebellious Norman barons. In 1126 he had the custody of his uncle, Robert, Duke of Normandy, as a prisoner at Bristol, and later at Cardiff. The same year he secured a working relationship with the Welsh-dominated church of south Wales, under its aggressive bishop, Urban. In 1127 he did homage to the Empress Maud, recognizing her as his father's successor in the kingdom. In 1130 he sanctioned the foundation of Neath Abbey. In 1133, following the death of Richard, Bishop of Bayeux, he was sent by his father to Bayeux to enquire as to the fees and services due to the see by its barons, knights, and vavasours. He was present at his father's death at Lions-le-Forêt in Dec. 1135, and had 60,000 livres from him, apparently as executor. On Stephen's subsequent accession to the English throne and his recognition as Duke by the Normans, Robert gave up Falaise to his agents, but removed his father's treasure. In March 1136 he returned to England, and after Easter did homage for his English lands. About this time or in the following year he founded St. James's Priory at Bristol. In 1137 he accompanied Stephen to Normandy, but they quarrelled, and next year his English and Welsh estates were forfeited. Thereupon he prepared for war with Stephen and took up the cause of his half-sister, Maud, in Normandy. In Sept. 1139 he landed in England with Maud and took her to Arundel Castle, and became her commander-in-chief in the civil war that ensued. His first significant campaign, once the empress was established in England, was directed at the city of Worcester, which he sacked 7 November 1139. In May 1140 he was delegated by his sister to negotiate at Bath with the king' envoys, but nothing came of the meeting. Later in 1140 he and the Earl of Warwick led a successful raid on Nottingham. In 1141 he and his son-in-law, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, recruited a large army, including a force of Welsh under the kings of Glamorgan and Gwynedd. Their army encountered the king's army near Lincoln and dispersed it, capturing the king himself. The king was removed to Gloucester and then to Bristol, Earl Robert's principal English castle. He subsequently accompanied Maud in her progress to Winchester and London, and when the citizens drove her out, he fled with her to Oxford. He was captured at Stockbridge 14 Sept. 1141, and taken prisoner to Rochester. Shortly afterwards, he was exchanged for King Stephen. In June 1142 Maud sent him over to her husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, to urge him to invade England; Geoffrey declined to help until he had conquered Normandy, whereupon Robert joined him in the campaign. Sometime between 1141-3, probably in June 1142, he signed a treaty friendship with Miles, Earl of Hereford, by which the two men agreed to support each other, especially in the war between King Stephen and Empress Maud. In 1143 he defeated King Stephen at Wilton. In 1144 he blockaded Malmesbury, Stephen refusing to battle; but Maud's party was so much reduced that Stephen was able to take Faringdon, which Robert had fortified. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. In the spring of 1147 he took Henry, Maud's son, back to Wareham and sent him over to Anjou. In his last year, probably on his deathbed, he made moves to assist the Cistercians, who were attempting to set up a house in upland Glamorgan; the resultant abbey of Margam counted him as its founder. ROBERT FITZ ROY, 1st Earl of Gloucester, died at Bristol 31 October 1147, and was buried in the Priory church of St. James, BristoL His widow, Mabel, Countess of Gloucester, died 29 Sept. 1157.
