Biography

Robert de Roos was the son and heir of William de Ros and Lucy Fitzpiers.^[1] He must have been born before 1237 as he was of full age when his father died, which may have been in 1257/8, and in 1258 he was old enough to be a commissioner in Herefordshire.^[2]

Life

Robert de Ros fought a number of times in Wales^[1][2] and was also summoned to fight against the Scots.^[2]

In 1251 Alexander III of Scotland married Margaret, daughter of Henry III. Alexander was only some ten years old, and sought the protection of Henry, who appointed Robert de Ros and John de Balliol as official protectors.^[3]

In 1261 he was pardoned for taking part in a tournament at Pontefract, Yorkshire.^[2]

He joined the baronial forces led by Simon de Montfort in 1263/4. On 24 December 1263/4 he was summoned to Simon de Montfort's parliament. Following the Battle of Lewes, in which the future Edward I was captured, he had custody of Edward when Edward escaped from Hereford Castle in May 1265.^[1][2]

On 14 August 1265, after the royalist victory in the Battle of Evesham, he received a full pardon.^[1][2]

In 1268, he was appointed a commissioner in the North of England to collect the Aid granted to Henry III.^[2]

In 1276 he was one of the barons who gave judgement against Llewelyn II of Wales in a Council at Westminster, leading to renewed hostilities against the Welsh.^[2]

Marriage and Children

He married Isabel d'Aubeney/d'Albini, daughter and sole heiress of Sir William d' Aubeney and Isabel, between 5 June 1243 and 17 May 1244.^[1][2] They had five sons and three daughters:

• William^[1][2]
• Robert^[1]
• John^[1]
• Nicholas, a priest^[1]
• Peter, a priest^[1]
• Isabel, wife of Walter, 2nd Lord Fauconberge^[1]
• Joan, wife of John, 1st Lord Lovel^[1]
• Mary, wife of Sir William, 1st Lord Brewes)^[1][4]

Death and Burial

Sir Robert de Roos died on 17 May 1285. His body was buried at Kirkham, Yorkshire;^[1][2] his viscera were buried before the high altar of Belvoir Priory, Leicestershire.^[1] A memorial at Belvoir was subsequently moved to the church at Bottesford, Lincolnshire.^[5]

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

Sir Robert de Ros married Isabel d'Albini who was herself a Magna Carta Surety descendant. Their descendants therefore descend from two Magna Carta Sureties: Robert de Ros and William d'Albini.
