ROBERT TYBOTOT, son and heir, born 1228 (d), did homage and on 23 January 
1249/50 was given seisin of his lands in Essex. On 3 May 1254 he was granted 
protection to go to Gascony, but is not further mentioned until 13 May 1260, when he 
was granted a rent in Eston, near Grantham, by the Lord Edward, who also gave him, 
10 May 1263, all the manor of Nettlestead, Suffolk. In April 1262 he was ordered to 
return Shopland to the heir of Baldwin de Ostewic and he witnessed a deed of John 
de Burgo, 4 July following. During the conflict between the Crown and Simon de 
Montfort Robert Tybotot was a staunch supporter of the Lord Edward. After the defeat 
of the King at Lewes on 14 May 1264, he was among those supporters of the Crown 
who held Bristol against the Earl of Leicester. His name appears, in July 1264, among 
those who were said to be coming to aid the King, he joined in a raid to rescue the 
Lord Edward from imprisonment in Wallingford Castle and in September 1264 he and 
others were ordered to surrender control of the castles of Marlborough and 
Ludgershall. In December 1264 Simon de Montfort and the Earl of Gloucester led an 
army against Bristol, but when the town surrendered Robert and his associates were 
allowed to establish themselves in Salisbury Castle, and the Earl of Leicester was 
forced to compromise with the garrison of Salisbury. In February 1264/5 Robert 
Tybotot and a companion were granted safe conduct to come to the King's household, 
and in the following March Robert and other persons were granted protection, 
provided that they did not join the King or the Lord Edward unless requested to do so 
by the King's Council which was controlled by Simon de Montfort. During the period of 
unrest after the battle of Evesham, 4 August 1265, Robert seized many lands which 
were later restored to their rightful tenants. However, when peace was finally restored 
his faithfulness to the Crown was rewarded. In October 1265 he was given the house 
of Philip le Taylur in the City of London, in the following month he became lord of 
Carbrooke, Norfolk, and in January and August 1266 the manors of Allesley and 
Fillongley, co. Warwick, Carlton Castle and Caenby, Lincs, passed under his control. 
Constable of Porchester Castle, November 1265 to April 1266. He was granted timber 
in 1267, received rights of free warren on his demesne lands, March 1268/9, and 
obtained control of Kingsbury, co. Warwick, October 1269. In February 1269/70 he 
became guardian of the lands of Geoffrey Lutterel in place of the £30 annual rent 
which he had been receiving from Bristol; and the manor of Streethall, Essex, also 
passed to his control. On 13 July 1270 he was among those who were granted 
protection for 4 years to accompany the Lord Edward on the Crusade, arrangements 
were made for the care of his heirs if he should die and attorneys were appointed to 
act during his absence. When he returned, the Archbishop of Canterbury was ordered 
by the Pope, 29 April 1273, to pay him 600 silver marks towards his Crusade 
expenses. In January 1274/5 he was appointed Constable of Nottingham Castle and 
Keeper of the forest of Bestwood, offices which he held until his death, and in 
September 1279 he became Keeper of the town of Nottingham. King Edward granted 
him many favours. In May 1275 he became guardian of the lands and heirs of John de 
Moese, and in September of the lands of Lucy de Meinill; he was granted the marriage 
of the heir of John de Mohun, July 1279, and obtained possession of the manors of 
Langar and Barnston, Notts, in 1285. He was named in October 1275 to supervise the 
collection of the fifteenth in Norfolk and Suffolk; was one of the Keepers of the 
Bishopric of Norwich in 1278; and in July 1279 he was ordered to enquire in Norfolk 
and Suffolk concerning those who were spreading evil rumours about the King. He 
was one of the keymen of the conquest and administration of Wales. In November 
1276 he attended the Council which decided to declare war against Llewelyn; and in 
November 1277 he was one of the English representatives to negotiate the peace of 
Conway, to swear to the English observance of the peace and to conduct Llewelyn to 
meet Edward at Rhuddlan. He was summoned for service in Wales in 1277 and 1282; 
was at Westminster, September 1278, when Alexander, King of Scotland, did homage 
to Edward I; and was at Acton Burnell, Salop, Michaelmas 1283, when the Statute of 
Acton Burnell was promulgated. From 8 June 1281 till his death he was guardian of the 
King's lands and castles in West Wales and Justice of West Wales. He was nearly 
captured in March 1282, when the castles of Llandovery and Carreg Cennen, co. 
Carmarthen, fell to the Welsh. In the same month he was appointed captain of West 
Wales, but on 10 April 1282 he was placed under the command of the Earl of 
Gloucester there and in March 1283 he was ordered to serve against the Welsh in 
Merionethshire. The rebellion of Rhys ap Maredudd of Dryslwyn and Dinefwr in 1287-
88 was crushed by Robert, who captured Newcastle Emlyn in January 1287/8. After 
the rebellion Maredudd ap Richard ap Maredudd of Elfed appeared before him to 
submit to the King. In June 1288 or 1289 Robert resisted the attempt of the Earl of 
Pembroke to seize the commote of Ystlwyf and in 1292 he granted the commote of 
Mallaen and Kylsaen to the sons of Madoc ap Arandor. Although there is no evidence 
of him being summoned to Parliament, he was present in pleno parliamento on 29 May 
1290, when consent was given for the levy of an aid, and he was ad parliamentum to 
which the men of Yarmouth complained in the same year. In 1291 he was one of the 
mainperners for the Earl of Hereford in the dispute with the Earl of Gloucester and he 
was summoned for service against the Scots, 1291 and 1297. He attended the 
meeting at Berwick-on-Tweed, October 1292, to decide the claims of Bruce or Balliol 
to the Scottish throne, was at Tuggrall, Northumberland, December following, when 
the Great Seal passed to the care of John de Langton, and witnessed the homage, of 
Balliol to Edward I at Newcastle-on-Tyne, 26 December 1292. In June 1294 he was 
granted protection to proceed with the King to Gascony and mustered at Portsmouth, 
August following. During the expedition he was director of finance and one of the 
councillors of John of Brittany, King's Lieutenant in Gascony. He acted with John de 
St. John, Seneschal of Gascony, on diplomatic missions and was appointed to 
conduct negotiations with the King of Castile. In 1295 he just managed to escape from 
the town of Risonces, when it was captured by the French, and he remained in royal 
service in southern France until the end of 1297.

He married, some time before 18 October 1269, Eve (b), and died at Nettlestead, 22 
May 1298, aged about 70. Eve died shortly before 30 August 1300. [Complete 
Peerage XII/2:89-93, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(d) The date of Robert's birth is estimated on the assumption that he did homage when 
he reached his majority. Robert's guardian had been William Turbert. In 1242 he was 
said to hold Wymondham and Edmondthorpe of the Earl of Derby.

[b] When Robert was making arrangements to join the Crusade, provision was made, 
12 July 1270, for the care of his heirs should he die. Dugdale, Baronage, Vol. ii, p. 38, 
says that Eve was daughter of Payn de Chaworth, but he gives no proof. Payn was a 
close associate of Robert during the wars against Simon de Montfort, he was with 
Robert in the Crusade and the name Payn was borne by Roberts 2nd son. Payn was, 
however, aged only 13 or 14 in 1258 and died s.p. or s.p.s. before 20 September 
1279, when his brother Patrick was his heir. Assuming a Chaworth marriage, it seems 
likely that Eve was Payn's sister and daughter of Patrick Chaworth by his wife Hawise 
de Londres. In a pedigree of Tybotot in Thoroton's Notts, Vol. i. pp. 203-04, Robert's 
wife is called Eve, daughter of P . . . de Chaworth. In the Visitation of Notts, Harlein 
Society, p. 124, Eve, daughter of Patrick and sister of Payn and Patrick Chaworth, 
Lords of Kidwclly, appears as the wife of Sir John (sic) Tiptofte. Payn himself mentions 
his sister Eve in a grant made by him, Trin. 1270, to the monks of Blanchland, in 
South Wales. In April 1283 Robert made a grant to Mottisfont Priory, Hants, of which 
the Chaworth family held patronage. The grant is sealed with the arms a saltire 
lozengy, legend 'S. Roberti de Tibotot'. He bore silver, a saltire engrailed gules.

------------------------------

Robert de Tibetot, who in the 50th of Henry III, 1266, was made Governor of the 
Castle of Porchester, and having attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land, was in 
high favour after he had ascended the throne as Edward I, being then constituted 
Governor of Nottingham Castle, Justice of South Wales, and Governor of the castles 
of Carmarthen and Cardigan. In the 13th of the same reign, 1285, he had a grant from 
the son of Gerard de Rodes to himself, his wife and his son, in fee of the manors of 
Langar and Berneston, in Nottinghamshire. In the 20th of Edward I, being the King's 
Lieutenant for Wales, he fought and defeated Rees ap Meredith, in a great battle 
wherein 4000 Welshmen were slain and Rees himself, having been made a prisoner, 
was conveyed to York and there executed. Robert de Tibetot was subsequently in the 
wars of Gascony and Scotland.
