[edit] Richard fitz Robert Archbishop of Rouen (died 1175)
Here called his son, does not appear in Spear's authoritative fasti of the Norman church before 1204. The archbishops at that time were Hugh (1130-1164) and Rotrou (1165-1183). So I have eliminated this entry David Skipper 23:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bath
I would like to know which source said "Robert, earl of Gloucester was in the assembly at Bath at the year of 1140" and "the assembly was in the month of August".
The article does not say that Robert was at Bath : viz. 'The king succeeded in containing him along the line of the Cotswold Hills, with such effect that a peace conference was held at Bath in August 1140, though nothing came of it.' For dates see Crouch book (2000). I take your point though. The article as it stands sort of implies that Earl Robert was there. I've changed it. David Skipper 11:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
It was a supposition earl Robert was there becuase he was the step brother of the empress, wasn't it?.
Are you sure the conference was in August and not in the spring?.

Crouch (p 134) says August 1140 and quotes the Historia Novella as his source. I checked Crouch's source and it actually does say that Robert of Gloucester went to the conference 'near' Bath. King Stephen was represented by the archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Winchester and his queen. But the Historia Novella just gives the date as some time after Whitsun (26 May 1140). Crouch is usually reliable, and he may have somereason for giving August as the month but he doesn't give it. David Skipper 22:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Now I don't understand nothing "I checked Crouch's source and it actually does say that Robert of Gloucester went to the conference 'near' Bath". In actually?. Perhaps before, Historia Novella (XII century), didn't said earl Robert was at the conference?.

I'm sorry but your use of English is unclear and I cannot understand your point. David Skipper 23:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand "I checked Crouch's source and it actually does say that Robert of Gloucester went to the conference 'near' Bath". In actually?. Perhaps, before, Historia Novella (XII century) didn't said earl Robert was at the conference, wasn't it?. I read other works of other authors of this century and the author didn't name any people. Only mentioned a conference at Bath. The bishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Winchester, king Stephen, empress Matilda and Earl Robert could be a deduction of Crouch and could be wrong about earl Robert. In this part of civil war, Miles de Pitres was an active soldier and earl Robert only was a reference and perhaps was hide at Bristol, after King Stephen would like to capture him at Arundel.

OK. I think I get your drift. I checked the XII-century text which Crouch gave as his source about Bath in 1140. It's the Historia Novella of William of Malmesbury, and it says of the Bath meeting: 'Some time afterwards [after Whitsun, it means] by the mediation of the legate [the bishop of Winchester] a meeting was appointed between the Empress and the king, on the chance that peace might be restored by the inspiration of God. The meeting was near [iuxta] Bath: on the Empress's side her brother Robert was sent and the rest of her advisers; on the king's side, the leagte and the archbishop and likewise the queen.' So Crouch was right so far as he went. I still don't understand why he said it was in August though. David Skipper 08:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, David. Frank. 18:22, 22 February 2007.
[edit] Historia Novella
I would like to read THE HISTORIA NOVELLA (full text) since 1135 to William of Malmesbury died. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.102.216.233 (talk) 18:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] The Marriage of William Earl of Gloucester
A recent edit has suggested (without source) that Earl William married a member of the Berkeley family. All the texts cited below give a marriage c.1148 to Hawise (d.1197), daughter of Robert II, earl of Leicester. See Patterson, Earldom of Gloucester Charters, p 5 for details, and also Complete Peerage, sub Gloucester. Edit removed. David Skipper 13:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The children of earl Robert
Where born the children of Robert, earl of Gloucester?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankJav (talk • contribs) 10:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
