Notes - Robert was titled "Seigner de beumont, Pont Audemer, Brionne and Vatteville in Normandy, Count de Meulan in the French Vexin and Earl of Leicester." He accompanied William the Conqueror and played a very important role at the Battle of Hs in 1066. William rewarded him with many manors lordships in Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Northampton and Wilts. He built a castle at Leicester where he enjoyed many luxurious years. When Henry I became he, he was said to be his favorite minister and confidant. Henry bestowed upon him the title of Earl of Leicester. Weeber's genealogy says that Robert and Amice had a daughter named Margurirte, but I have been unable to substantiate this. Brian Tompsett's respected Royal Lineage site does not include Marguerite. (C-1366, 1440, 1878)
