	Robert, Comte de Mortain and Earl of Cornwall: from The Conqueror and His Companions - Genealogy on Pat Patterson's ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In 1069, the Earl of Cornwall and Robert Comte d'Eu were left by King William in Lindsey to watch the Danes who had landed at the mouth of the Humber and invested York, but alarmed at the approach of the Royal forces retreated to the opposite shore, and took shelter in the fens.
		His son Rufus had scarcely ascended the throne when the pestilent priest commenced, as we have seen, to sow dissensions amongst his subjects, and succeeded in involving the generous brother, to whom he was indebted for his freedom, in a conspiracy to depose the nephew who had restored him the possessions he had deservedly forfeited.
		Meagre as are the materials which we are enabled at present to scrape together for a memoir of Robert Earl of Cornwall, his character stands out in honorable distinction from those of his brothers, neither surrounded by the "guilty glory" of the King, nor flened by the baseness of the Bishop.

	1066: A Medieval Mosaic (Medieval Mosaic)
		We have seen that Duke Robert had secured the king's consent to his nomination of William as the heir of Normandy; and we have good reason for believing that William after his accession was, in the feudal sense of the phrase, under the guardianship of his overlord.
		The presence of the count of Ponthieu and the archbishop of Dol is important as showing that even at this stormy time the connection between Normandy and its neighbours to east and west had not been wholly severed; and it is interesting to see two of William's unlucky guardians actually, in attendance on their lord.
		He had ceded it to Count Odo of Blois as the marriage portion of his daughter Mahaut, but on her speedy death without issue Odo had refused to return it to his father-in-law; and in the border warfare which followed, the duke founded the castle of Tillieres as a check upon his acquisitive neighbour.
