 | | Walter Fitz-Robert, who in the 12th year of King Henry II., upon the assessment in aid of marrying the king's daughter, certified his knight's fees to be in number sixty-three and a half, de veteri feoffamento; and three and a fourth part, de novo, for all of which he paid 44 pounds and 10 shilling. |
 | | Becoming jealous, however, of the power of Leicester, the earl soon after abandoned the baronial cause, and having assisted in procuring the liberty of the king and the prince, commanded the second brigade of the royal army at the battle of Evesham, which restored the kingly power to its former lustre. |
 | | He married Maud Burgh, daughter of Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, but was slain at the battle of Bannockburn in 1313, leaving no issue, whereupon his large possessions devolved upon his three sisters as co-heiresses, and the Earldom of Gloucester and Hertford became extinct. |
