  • Notes 
    • Robert FitzRichard, 5th son of Richard FitzGilbert, Earl of Clare, who was stewart to Henry I, and obtained from that monarch the barony of Dunmow in Essex, as also the honour of Baynard's Castle in the City of London, both of which came into the possession of the crown by the forfeiture of William Baynard. This Robert, who died 1134, married 1112 Maud de St. Liz, Lady of Branham, daughter of Simon St. Liz, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, and by her (who died in 1140 and married 2nd Saire de Quincey) had two sons, Walter, his successor, and Simon, to whom he gave Daventry in Northamptonshire.
