  • Notes 


    • Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester (c. 1090 - 31 October 1147) was an illeg i t i m a te son of King Henry I of England, and one of the dominant figures o f t h e p e r iod of English history sometimes called The Anarchy. Robert w as a c k n o wledged at birth, and raised at his father's court. He eventual ly t o o k t h e side of Mathilda the Empress, against King Stephen the Beau mon t f a c t ion. He had a reputation of being an educated man, not altoge th er s u r p rising considering his father's scholarly inclinations. He was a p a t r o n o f William of Malmesbury and Geoffrey of Monmouth.

      Robert was probably the eldest of Henry I's many illegitimate children.
