Robert Avenell
M, #3126, d. 8 March 1185
Biography
- Robert Avenell died on 8 March 1185 in Melrose, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
- Robert Avenel (died 1185) was a 12th-century Anglo-Norman magnate. He was ruler of the small former Northumbrian province of Eskdale in Dumfriesshire, as well as Abercorn in West Lothian.[1] He was one of a small number of Anglo-Norman immigrants to have been given a provincial lordship in southern Scotland in the early-to-mid 12th century. For some period in the 1170s he served as Justiciar in Lothian (along with three others). He also had some part of the township of Innerwick. He seems to have held this of Walter fitz Alan. He passed this on to his younger son Vincent. His nephew Glai or Glay may have held part of Innerwick too.
He died on 8 March 1185, according to the Chronicle of Melrose
Robert Avenel, our novice-associate, died on the eighth day before the Ides of March. He gave to God, and to St Mary and the monks of Melrose, his land of Eskdale, as his charter testifies; may his blessed soul ever live in glory.
He had entered the monastery of Melrose shortly before his death.[6] He had three sons, Gervase, Vincent and Robert, the latter of whom became a clerk.[7] Gervase was Robert's principal heir, and the latter also served as Justiciar of Lothian.
Robert had a daughter who was a concubine of William the Lion, king of the Scots. The king and Robert Avenel's daughter had a daughter named Isabella, who was given as wife in 1183 to Robert III de Brus, son of Robert II de Brus lord of Annandale. After her husband died in 1191, she was married to the Yorkshire Anglo-Norman Robert, Baron de Ros (died 1226). - Robert Avenell is/was my 24th great-grandfather

William de Harcourt, espousing the cause of Henry I against Robert Curtois, commanded the troops which defeated Waleran de Beaumont, Earl of Mellent, in the battle near Bourgtouroude, A.D. 1123, and for his services was rewarded with large possessions in England, which he conferred upon his second son, Ivo de Harcourt.

William de Harcourt; had [Ivo], with an elder son (Robert, ancestor of the Ducs d'Harcourt in France). [Burke's Peerage]
___________________________
William de Harcourt, Seigneur of Harcourt, son and heir of Robert the Strong, witnessed with his father in 1113 as noted above. He fought for Henry I in 1124 against the Norman adherents of the king's nephew William Clito; and in 1130 was heir of the Leicestershire land of Robert his brother. At an undetermined date after 1141 William, son of Philip de Briouze, confirmed his grandfather's gift of the chapel of Briouze to the Abbey of St Florent de Samur; the document was attested by the brothers William de Harcourt and Philip, Bishop of Bayeux. Bishop Philip's charter of 1154, giving the chruch and vill of Sompting to the Templars, was assented to by his cousin William de Briouze and his brother William de Harcourt, the latter being designated in a subsequent confirmation as tunc eiusdem ecclesia advocato.
The wife of William de Harcourt was identified by La Roque as Hue d'Amboise, and their son, Robert de Harcourt the Younger, who lived during the reign of King Henry II, is a well proven ancestor of the French Counts of Harcourt.
