     Gerard died circa 9 June 1360.
     Gerard de Lisle was the subject of an Inquisition Post Mortem held on 10 June 1360. Of the several inquisitions taken it is stated that he died on 9, 15, 16 & 17 June. Warin, his son and heir is variously described as 30, 24, 26 and 27. Inq P M June & July 1360 (34 Edw III) Had lands with his wife in Walberton, Sussex, Fretewell Oxf; Bromlegh & Abbotdeston, Southampton, Chilton Foliiot, Cherlton by Hungerford & Fersshedon by Esthrop in Wiltshire; with Henry their son held of Countess of Aumarle.
He held the manor of Kyngeston de Lisle of Robert de Lisle of Rougemount, kt, by service of one knight's fee and a pair of gilt spurs or 6d yearly. He also held Fauelore, Buden, Uplambourne & Hardewell in Berkshire. In Northampton he held Stowe and Kyselyngbury, and Pesemere. In Cornwall he held Alwerton & Tuernayl and in York he held the manor of Brakerne of Sir Thomas de Ros of Haelak by knight's services.

     Gerard de Lisle was born circa 1240. He was described as their younger son. The Berkely Castle Muniments state: The Lisles of Kingston Lisle were established by the grant by Alice wife of Robert de Lisle (d. c. 1262) to their younger son Gerard of two manors, Kingston, in the parish of Sparsholt (Berks.), then called Kingston Gerold and now Kingston Lisle, and Mundford (Norf.) With Kingston were associated a number of other holdings nearby which were occasionally referred to as the manors of Fawler and Baulking, and which incorporated holdings in Uffington. The manor of Nuneham (Oxon.) also seems to have been part of the FitzGerold inheritance. He was the son of Robert de Lisle and Alice FitzGerald.
In 1260 his parents conveyed to Gerard de Lisle, their younger son (progenitor of the Kingston Lisle line), his mother's Mundford estate and two years later, Alice confirmed the grant and released Gerard from payment of the rent of £10 which had been due to her late husband.
The Berkeley Castle Muniments state: The parish of Sparsholt was divided between the hundreds of Wantage and Shrivenham, the villages of Sparsholt and Westcot lying in the former and Kingston Lisle and Fawler in the latter. Sparsholt, with part of Westcot and another vill, Eastmanton, were held by the Achard family (and later by the de la Mares), but the portion of the parish in Wantage hundred was dominated by the Lisles. Ten hides in the parish, later Kingston Lisle, was royal demesne, for which the sheriff owed a farm of £32, until 1154 when it was granted by Henry II to Warin FitzGerold, a chamberlain of the Exchequer. On Warin's childless death in 1159 it passed to his brother Henry (d. 1174-5) and from him to his elder son and heir Warin, who granted it to his younger brother, another Henry (d. c. 1231). Warin's grant of Sparsholt and neighbouring Baulking to Henry (below, BCM/B/1/1/9 [SC 113]) was witnessed by Ralph and Henry Foliot, who were presumably Ralph of Chilton Foliat and his brother and eventual heir; Ralph is said to have died c. 1204, so when Warin was recorded as holding the 32 librates in Sparsholt in 1212 it was as mediate lord only. Henry FitzGerold's son and heir Warin died without issue 1257 x 1260, leaving the manor to pass to his sister Alice, wife of Robert de Lisle. The estate's history is reflected in its changing denomination, from Kingesparsholte in 1254, to Kingston Gerold, and later Kingston Lisle. Despite the later dominance of Kingston, Baulking appears to have been the more important vill in the 13th century. Henry FitzGerold was granted a market at Baulking in 1218, and his son a market and fair there in 1253, although in the following year, when he had a grant of free warren in Kingston, Fawler and Baulking, he also had a market in Kingston. [Farrer, iii. 170.]
Also in Sparsholt was another estate of 10 hides at Fawler which had been held in 1086 by Abingdon Abbey and was later subinfeudated by the abbey to the Columbers family of neighbouring Hardwell and Uffington. Robert de Columbers died in 1238 when his estates were mortgaged to the Jews; Hardwell passed to Gilbert de Columbers but was sold by his son and heir Henry to Samson Foliot for a payment of 200 marks to the Jews of Winchester. Warin FitzGerold acquired the estate in Fawler before 1242-3 when he was holding one fee there of the abbey. [Farrer, iii. 223]
Although the three vills of Kingston, Baulking and Fawler were usually associated as one manor under the Lisles, the different histories of the vills was reflected in the feudal structure, the cadet branch of the Lisles holding Kingston and Baulking of the Lisles of Rougemont while Fawler was held of the abbey.
The manor was granted to Gerard de Lisle by his mother Alice, with Mundford, in 1264-5, and Gerard's widow Alice acquired the wardship of the manor, also with Mundford, from Gerard's nephew, Warin de Lisle of Rougemont, in 1290: below, BCM/B/1/1/10 [GC 576]. It was forfeited after the rebellion and execution of Warin in 1322 and restored to his widow in 1326: below, BCM/B/1/1/12 [SC 491]. It was clearly the centre of the Lisle estate and the surviving accounts and valors show that in the 1380s the rents and farms of many other manors of the estate were paid there, including those of Hardwell, Fresden, Bockhampton, Upper Lambourn, Nethercott, Draycot Foliat, Noke and Fritwell.

Gerard de Lisle married Alice de Armenters, daughter of Henry de Armenters, circa 1271.
     Gerard died before November 1288. Gen Medieval website states:
Volume 8, page 70:
Robert [de Lisle, d. 1284] m., 2ndly, Alice. ... His widow was living in 1290.(m)
Page 70, note m:
Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, vol. iii, p. 173, suggests she may have been elder sister and coheir of John de Muscegros, who d. 1266, holding lands in cos. Cambridge and Northampton; Cal. Close Rolls, 1288-96, p. 143.

The Alice de Lisle recorded in 1290 was not the widow of this Robert, but the widow of Gerard de Lisle of Kingston Lisle (d. before November 1288), as correctly stated at volume 8, page 48, where the same reference is given. The entry in the close roll records her acknowledgment of debts of 200 marks to Walter de Langeton, clerk, and 50 marks to Warin de Insula. Her identity is proved by a charter dated 11 July 1290 by which Alice, the widow of Gerard, purchased from Warin de Lisle the custody of her son Warin and of his lands during his minority, for 60 marks paid to Warin and 250 marks paid to Walter de Langton [Berkeley Castle Muniments GC576 (B1/1/10), printed in B. Wells-Furby, A Catalogue of the Medieval Muniments at Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire Record Series, volume 18, p. 578 (2004)].

The first important land battle between the French and English in the 100 years war, took place at Crécy, in Ponthieu, on August 26, 1346. There, Edward defeated the army that Philippe VI had sent to block his retreat to the northeast. Edward then laid siege to the port of Calais during September, 1346. The city surrendered in October of the same year and he deported most of its French occupants, colonizing the town with Englishmen so he could have a base for further invasions of France. Again, running out of money, he made a new truce in September, 1347.
In 1355, Edward broke the truce by leading large scale, but unsuccessful raids, against the French from Calais. However, he was more successful in Scotland where, in 1356 he received a formal surrender of the Kingdom of Scotland.

By virtue of this commission, Robert del Idle has seized Walter de Langton's lands in Ashley, although they are held not of the king but of John de Beaufou - as is proved by inquest returned in Chancery. John asks that the grant be repealed with regard to these tenements and the marriage of the heir, and that justice be done to him, according to the form of the inquests.

Robert de Lisle The Lay subsidy rolls in the time of Edward III (one probably in the first year of his reign lists at Harwood - Roberto de Insula at head of 5-6 others in 1326 in Harewood.
Petitioners: Robert del Isdle (Lisle) and the men and tenants of Wharfedale.
Addressees: King and council.
Robert del Isdle and the men and tenants of Wharfedale state that they petitioned the King in the last parliament at Westminster by a petition, the transcript of which is sewn to this petition, stating that although King John, lord of the manor and forest of Knaresborough, had brought Wharfedale into that forest, when it was not of the fee or lordship of Knaresborough and had never been within forest, he was later better advised and removed it from the forest, granting the men and tenants of Wharfedale a charter to this effect, a transcript of which is sewn to this petition. But William de Ireby, Steward of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, wrongly charged the people of Wharfedale with puture of the forest and other charges and customs, and the ministers of the present King have continued to do this. This petition was answered that the charter should be examined and allowed, and that they should be quit of these charges, and writs were issued to the King's ministers to cease their demands, and other writs to the ministers of Queen Isabella, in whose hands the manor and forest are; but they continue to charge and harass the petitioners as before. They ask for a judgment that the first judgment be allowed.
Nature of endorsement: Because this thing was previously assented to and adjudged in full parliament, which is a very high judgment and made in the highest court in the land, execution is to be made of the first judgment; and the Steward and other necessary people are to be ordered to cease etc., and to allow the tenants to make their profits according to the first judgment, and not to do anything to the harm or contrary to the judgment, on pain of the appropriate penalty for those who contravene such a high judgment. And if they do not obey, a strict process is to be followed against those who are disobedient.
In 1332 he donated to Arthington Nunnery for the good of the soul of Margaret his wife.
Robert de Lisle was mentioned in 1334.
In 1337 he had granted the manor of Harewood to John his younger son to enable him the better to serve the King in his wars. See Speights "Kirkby Overblow and district p.29 for the King's writs to deliver seisin to the claimants. He granted property to John de Lisle 2nd Baron in 1337 in Harewood. (10 Edw III) He was granted Harewood by his father to better serve the King: "his father Robert being disposed to give him 400 marks p.a. of land, to serve the King with 6 men-at-arms in his wars; the King to gratify the said Robert, and the better to support his son, granted that the said Robert and his heirs: and some years after, his brother Robert released to him and his heirs all his right in the said manor, and in the advowson of the church there. Being thus provided for, he attended the King in his first voyage to France, by way of Flanders 1340, and was in the Battle fought near Vironfosse. Two years after he went into Aquitaine in the King's service; and in the year ensuing he attended the King in Bretagne, while the King foraged the country and laid siege to Dinant. "For his good services done the King, he granted him a pension of 200 pounds p.a. for his life, to support his dignity of Bannaret, of which sum 120 pounds was assigned from the Priory of St Neots at Stoke, next Clare, and 80 pounds out of that of Eye, these were afterwards changed for other benefits".

Lisle. Gules a leopard argent crowned or. Robert Lisle was summoned to Parliament as Lord Lisle from 1311. Shortly before his death (in January 1342–3) he took religious orders, having previously in 1339 granted Pishobury with other manors to his daughters Alice, wife of Sir Thomas Seymour, and Elizabeth Peverel for life, with remainder to his son John, who quitclaimed to his sisters. (fn. 82) This grant was apparently made by Robert for the performance of certain alms. (fn. 83) In 1343, however, John obtained from Alice and Elizabeth a release of the manor for thirty years, with the exception of certain premises—viz. the house on the left-hand side within the second gate, which contained two chambers for habitation, and the park of Gedelesho, which belonged to the manor, John retaining 12 acres of underwood yearly with profits from the land called Vodeleye and housbote and heybote for the manor, the keeper of Gedelesho Wood to be chosen with the assent of both parties and to have his robe from Alice and his livery of corn, &c., from John. (fn. 84) John Lord Lisle died seised of the lease in 1356. (fn. 85) After his death Alice Seymour surrendered Pishobury to his son Robert, who was to assist her in the foundation of charities begun by Sir John Lisle for the soul of his father. (fn. 86) In 1368 Robert Lisle granted his knights' fees and the courts held for his tenants at Walbrook and Farningho, co. Essex, to the king. (fn. 87) This transaction has led to the inference that he had no legitimate issue, but one pedigree gives him a son William, (fn. 88) and a William Lisle granted Pishobury in March 1392–3 to Richard first Lord Scrope of Bolton, (fn. 89) this transaction being followed in 1394 by a quitclaim from Sir Robert Lisle.

Sir Gerard and Sir Warin, of Rutland, both bore the arms at the first Dunstable tournament 1308. Parliamentary roll ascribed to another Gerard in Dering Roll. They are also ascribed to Sir Foulk in Harliean Roll.

     Robert de Lisle was born before 1195 in England. He was the son of Robert de Lisle and Sarah de Aunus or Danys. Robert de Lisle bore arms: Or, a fess between two chevrons sable. In general the chain mail and accoutrements seem to represent a transitional period between those represented by Longespee on the one hand and by Crouchback on the other. The actual effigy is now much mutilated, and the coat of arms is not visible on either the surcoat or the rounded shield.
It is noteworthy that similar arms, the field argent and the chevrons gules. were borne by the family of Peche, also tenants of Ely. But while it was common for tenants' arms to reflect those of their overlord, the Peches were also tenants of the great Honour of Clare, and it is more likely that they, and possibly the Lisles, derived their arms from the powerful Clares of East Anglia. in the same group were the Fitzwalters, who bore Or, a fess between two chevrons gules.
Robert de Lisle married Alice FitzGerald, daughter of Henry FitzGerald and Ermentrude de Ferrers (de Grendon), before February 1239/40. Grant from Henry fil. Geroldi to Robert de Insula in marriage with Alice, his daughter, of the whole of his land in Mundeford, Norfolk.
     Robert died before 1262.

     Robert de Lisle was born say 1240 in England. He was the son of Robert de Lisle and Alice FitzGerald.
Mabel de Muscegros married secondly Robert de Lisle before 1252. She was a widow at her marriage.
Robert & Mabel quitclaimed to John de Muscegros 10 librates of land in Kemarton, Gloucestershire, which Mabel had in free marriage from her father, and for this & 200 marks John gave her 20 librates of land in Finborough, Suffolk.
Robert de Lisle married secondly Alice Unknown (de Lisle). Farrer suggests Alice his second wife may have been elder sister & co-heir of John de Muscegros who died in 1266 holding lands in Cambs & Northampton but see Medieval genealogy website for corrections.
In 1264 he obtained a charter of free warren in his desmesne lands of Rampton & Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire and Nedging in Suffolk. As Sir Robert de Insula he attested a Cambs. charter about the same time.
     He served in the Army in 1282. Hewas summoned for the campaign against Llewelyn.
     Robert died in 1284.
His grandson was heir to Isabella de Fortibus, Countess of Albemarle, his kinswoman [His mother's cousin] about 1310.

     Robert de Lisle was born before 1320. He was the son of Robert de Lisle and Margaret de Beauchamp.
     Robert de Lisle and Robert de Lisle were mentioned in a deed dated 1340 in the manor, Kirkby Overblow. At Westminster, Quindene of Michaelmas, 14 Edward III (1340). Thomas de Insula, quer., Robert de Insula, def., of the manor of Kireby Orblower, except the advowson of the church thereof: To hold (subject to the life estate of William de Risshton) to Thomas and the heirs male of his body, paying yearly to Robert and his heirs one rose at the Nativity of St John the Baptist for all service to them, and doing all other services to the chief lords; remainder to Robert son the said Robert de Insula for life: remainders in succession to Robert and John, sons of the said John, and the heirs male of their bodies; reversion to Robert de Insula and his heirs. William [de Risshton] was present and consenting, and did fealty.
Robert, son of Robert de Insula, late Lord of Harewood, released to Sir John de Insula his brother & his heirs all his right in the manor of Harewood with the advowson of the church of the said town [18 Edw III 1345 913450 Dod 122 fol 90, Jones p 79] Yorkshire Feet of fines Mich.1340 etc. - Cockayne p73.

About 1363-4, Robert de Insula de Rubeo Monte to grant land in Harewood to William Gascoigne of Harewood, Agnes his wife, John their son, and the heirs of the said William, retaining the manor of Harewood.
William Gascon of Harewood, Agnes his wife, and John their son to retain land in the manor of Harewood, with John Cok, Richard Botell, and Stephen Gobet, serfs of the same, and their issue, acquired to the petitioners and the heirs of the said William from Robert de Insula, knight, who retains the manor of Harewood.

     Robert de Lisle was also known as fitz Ralph in records. He was born. Ralph's son, Robert, possibly named for Robert the Chamberlain, was the first to be named de Insula or de L'Isle. In 1236 his descendant, Robert de Insula, was stated to be holding two of the four hides, representing 200 acres, in the smaller manor of Wilbraham of the honour of Brittany - a good indication that he had inherited the moiety as a descendant of Ralph the steward/chamberlain and his wife.
The gift of Wilbraham was confirmed to him between 1158 & 1169.
This family appears to have taken its name from the Isle of Ely.Their arms, a fesse between two chevrons, differed in tinctures only from those of Pecche, who also held immediately of the Bishop.

Whether or not Robert I's mother was Beatrice, there is no evidence. If she was, Robert would have been the elder son as his mother was married to Ralph by 1158 whereas Richard de Cormeilles, Beatrice's husband, died in 1177. Walter de Cormeilles was one of the five coheirs in the other moiety of Wilbraham and in Wendy, to which if he had been the second son, he would not have been entitled. There does not appear anything explicit that the de L'Isles inherited land of the Chamberlain's fee after Nigel's death (except perhaps subtenancy of a knight's fee in Malton in Orwell, Cambs. in conjunction with Westwick and Oakington of the honour of Richmond) and it's chronologically possible for Ralph's wife to have been a sister of Robert the Chamberlain. He was the son of Ralph fitz Olaf and Daughter.
He held half a knight's fee in Exning of Robert de Valoines in 1166.
Robert de Lisle married Galiena Blund, daughter of William Blund, before December 1167. Geoffrey Riddell, Archdeacon of Canterbury, gave the said Galiena on her marriage to Robert the land that was Mainer the Porter's at Exning. Confirmed by Henry II Nov-Dec 1167.

     Robert de Lisle was born between 1160 and 1170. He was the son of Robert de Lisle and Galiena Blund.
His wife was supposed to be Beatrice de Cormeilles but I have removed this for some reason. However note: Her parentage from CP is questioned and Gordon Kirkemo has come upwith the suggesiton that she might be the daughter of Robert camerarius, chamberlain to the earl of Richmond and that she then m. Richard de Cormeilles:

> Now, in CP Vol. VIII, Sub Lisle, there is a chart showing the descent of Lisle of Rougemont and Lisle of Kingston Lisle. The second Robert de Insula is shown with a wife named Beatrice de Cormeilles, who according to the chart is the daughter of Ralph, sewer to the Earl of Richmond. This is also reported on page 69 in the text for Lisle of Rougemont.
In DD (page 200), I find Robert Camerarius, Chamberlain to earl Conan of Richmond, and son and successor to Odo Camerarius. He is described as having three sons and four daughters. The daughters were his eventual heirs, and one of them is identified as Beatrice, wife of (1) Richard de Cormeilles and (2) of Robert de Lisle. I also find a Radulf Camerarius identified as chamberlain to Earl Conan with no additional information concerning parentage or children.
...
I can't resolve the conflict (though CP does have a definite citation that's meant to show that the Robert de Lisle of c. 1207 was a grandson of Ralph the sewer, and DD gives enough references that the evidence may become clearer).
I do think the chronology of the DD version is very strange. Combining the entry for Robert Camerarius on p. 200 with that for Ricardus de Cormeilles on pp. 410, 411, it seems we have (with other siblings, omitted):
1. Odo, Domesday tenant 1086
2. His son Robert, succeeded by 1129/30
3. His daughter Beatrice, married first to Richard de Cormeilles (active by 1134, d. either 1175/6 [p. 411] or 1177 [p. 200]), then remarried to Robert de Lisle and (if CP is to be believed) bearing him a child.
I don't know which bit is likely to be wrong, but I find it very difficult to believe.
It seems possible that Camerarius and Cormeilles might both be derivatives of Chamberlain, but that is only a wild guess on my part. Camerarius is certainly latin for Chamberlain, but Cormeilles is a place name (Eure, arrondissement Point-Audemer, according to DP 155). Chris Phillips.      
Robert de Lisle was Sheriff of Cambridgeshire between 1198 and 1201.
About 1208, he was party to a suit for the church of Wimpole by Saher de Quincy in which Ralph the Steward is named as Robert's grandfather.

     Robert de Lisle was born circa 1190 in England. He was the son of Robert de Lisle.
Robert de Lisle married Sarah de Aunus or Danys, daughter of Eborard de Aunus or Danys, before 1195. Robert de Lisle claims the manor of Combes, Suffolk, as next of kin of Sarah, wife of Roger son of Piers Fitzosbern - viz s & h of Warin, s & h of Robert, s & h of Robert, s & h of Sarah, sister of Geoffrey, father of Margery, mother of Sarah FitzOsbern.
     Robert resided at Rougemont, Bedfordshire.
In 9 John (after May 1207) Robert claimed the advowson of Wimpole, co. Cambridge, under charter of Conan, lord of the Honour of Richmond, to his grandfather Ralph, sewer of the said Conan.
He held 1 fee in Rampton & Cottenham of the Bishop of Ely and a quarter of a fee in Westwick to farm of the Chamberlain's fee, and 2 fees in Nedging, Suffolk in 1212.
Eustace Picot granted 1 knight's fee at Rampton before c. 1156 to Ralph, chamberlain of Bishop Niel of Ely and ancestor of the Lisles. About 1212 Robert de Lisle held it of the bishop of Ely. In 1260 Geoffrey Burdeleys confirmed Rampton to Sir Robert de Lisle, the first Robert's son. (Footnote 33) Sir Robert, who died between 1260 and 1262, was succeeded by his son Robert (d. 1284), who was granted free warren in 1264.
Robert de Lisle married secondly Roese de Wahull circa September 1213. He had no issue by his second marriage to Rohaise/Rose, widow of Robert de Tateshal/Tattershalll (died 1212), sister & heir to John de Wahul who died in1217l. She predeceased him in 1221 but her goods etc went to her late husband Ralph de Stopham. Obviously a mix-up here.

In 1236 Ralph's descendant, Robert de Insula, was stated to be holding two of the four hides, representing 200 acres, in the smaller manor of Wilbraham of the honour of Brittany - a good indication that he had inherited the moiety as a descendant of Ralph the steward/chamberlain and his wife.

He was buried in Rampton, Cambridgeshire. N the church at Rampton in Cambridgeshire is the effigy of Robert de Lisle, son of Robert de Lisle and Beatrice de Cormeilles, coheiress of Ralph, the Earl of Richmond's chamberlain. The family name, de Lisle or de Insula, is probably taken from the Isle of Ely where they held lands of the Earl of Richmond and of the Bishop of Ely. They are not connected with the ancient family of the same name from the Isle of Wight.
     Robert died after 1238. He was living in 1236-8, in Cambridgeshire. The exact date of Robert's death is unknown, but he was living in 1221. He married twice.

A petition from John de Wyndesore (Windsor), addressees: King and lords of parliament. John de Wyndesore states that a judgment given by the council in the King's fourteenth year found that Robert de Lisle had wrongly expelled him from the manors of Rampton, Cottenham, and Westwick in Cambridgeshire, and the King, on the advice of his council, decreed that he should be restored to them. He sued various writs to Robert and to the Sheriff of Cambridgeshire to have restitution, but in the meantime Richard de Scrop purchased the manors by champerty, in full knowledge of the circumstances, and alienated them to William Scrop his son, so that John can have no execution of his writs. He asks that he might be restored to his manors. This petition is enrolled on the roll of the parliament of 1394 (Rot. Parl. vol. III pp.310a-313b (no.10)).CPR 1388-92 p.472 is dated 27 July 1391; CPR 1391-6 p.388 is dated 14 March 1394.

Endorsement: The charter should be shown in Chancery and then, if Stainburn etc. is in Wharfedale, the keeper or steward of the Forest of Knaresborough should be ordered to cease the exactions of puture and not to impede the abbot doing as he pleases with his animals, and not to do anything contrary to the tenure of the charter.
