Robert III de Stuteville (died 1186) was an English baron and justiciar.

Life[edit]

He was son of Robert II de Stuteville (from Estouteville in Normandy), one of the 
northern barons who commanded the English at the battle of the Standard in August 
1138. His grandfather, Robert Grundebeof, had supported Robert of Normandy at the 
battle of Tinchebray in 1106, where he was taken captive and kept in prison for the 
rest of his life.

Robert de Stuteville, the third, occurs as witness to a charter of Henry II of England 
on 8 January 1158 at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He was a justice itinerant in the counties of 
Cumberland and Northumberland in 1170–1171, and High Sheriff of Yorkshire from 
Easter 1170 to Easter 1175. The king's Knaresborough Castle and Appleby Castle 
were in his custody in April 1174, when they were captured by David of Scotland, Earl 
of Huntingdon. Stuteville, with his brothers and sons, was active in support of the king 
during the war of 1174, and he took a prominent part in the capture of William the 
Lion at Alnwick on 13 July (Rog. Hov. ii. 60). He was one of the witnesses to the 
Spanish award on 16 March 1177, and from 1174 to 1181 was constantly in 
attendance on the king, both in England and abroad.

He seems to have died in the early part of 1186. He claimed the barony, which had 
been forfeited by his grandfather, from Roger de Mowbray, who by way of compromise 
gave him Kirby Moorside. He is the probable founder of the nunneries of Keldholme 
and Rosedale, Yorkshire, and was a benefactor of Rievaulx Abbey.

Family[edit]

Stuteville married twice; by his first wife, Helewise, he had a son William de Stuteville 
and two daughters; by the second, Sibilla, sister of Philip de Valognes, a son Eustace. 
Robert de Stuteville was probably brother of the Roger de Stuteville who was sheriff 
of Northumberland from 1170 to 1185, and defended Wark Castle against William the 
Lion in 1174. Roger received charge of Edinburgh Castle in 1177, and he built the first 
Burton Agnes Manor House.[1]
