Note: I have gone with the "two Roberts theory" put forth by Chris Phillips below, this 
being the elder Robert.

-----------------------

Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann AT yahoo.com, in a post-em, states:

Paget's Baronage makes Robert (d. by c.1249) the son and heir of Richard, 3rd son of 
Manasser, 2nd son of Manasser (living 1156). (I suspected that there might be two 
Roberts in succession instead.) [Ref: Chris Phillips, message to 
soc.genealogy.medieval, 19 Jun 2002]

Paget says that the younger Robert's father was a second cousin of the elder Robert, 
but perhaps this is slightly wrong… The common ancestor is said to be Manasser 
Aguillon, living 1156, who had a son and heir William… William had a grandson William 
(… I didn't note the intervening generation), who died shortly before 3 Oct 1244, when 
his son Robert did homage and had livery [citing Rot. Fin. 28 Henry III, m.2]. This 
Robert was the younger of the Roberts… says Paget.

Going back to Manasser, Paget says he had a second son Manasser, living 1172, and 
that the younger Manasser had a third son Richard, who married Ela de Frivill or 
Freville, by whom he had a son Robert. Richard and Robert appear as witnesses in 
1201 [citing Cal. Docs. France i no 1403]. Paget says that this son Robert was the 
elder one…

Paget gives further details of the "elder" Robert's career, from 1203 to 1227, and says 
he married Agatha, dau and coheir of Fulk Beaufoy [citing Blomefield's History of 
Norfolk], and says he had 4 daughters by her (repeating some of the errors about the 
daughters…). He adds that Robert married secondly Alice, widow of John de Wahull 
(d.1217) [citing Bracton's Notebook, no 1182] and daughter of William de Munchensi, 
and that Robert was still living 1232.

Having said that, we know that the mother of the "elder" Robert's 4 daughters was 
not in fact Agatha de Beaufo, but Margery, daughter of William de Fresney. Also that 
at least two of these daughters gave birth to their heirs around 1240. And that C.J. 
Phillips in his History of the Sackville Family makes Agatha de Beaufo the mother of 
Robert, not his wife.

So could it be that there are two Roberts here - the first who was active by 1203 and 
married Agatha de Beaufo, and the second who married Margery de Fresney and died 
around 1249 leaving 4 daughters and a widow Alice "de Merley/Marley"? Perhaps this 
Alice is the same one mentioned above, in any case. [Ref: Chris Phillips, message to
