Robert Beaumont was a young man at the Battle of Hastings. As a vassal of William he was
present at the Council of War at Lillebonne and provided ships for the crossing. He commanded
a troop on the right wing and according to William of Poitiers attacked with effectiveness and
bravery in what was his first battle. He was made Earl of Leicester after the battle. Robert
was first Earl of Leicester, Lord of Beaumont, Pont-Audemar, et Brionne (France), Comte de
Meulan (Normandy) - a typical nobleman in the Norman army of occupation, holding lands and
titles on both sides of the Channel. His wife, Isabel, married secondly William de Warenne,
2nd Earl of Surrey/Warren (q.v.). Robert fought at Hastings and had added large estates in
Warwickshire to the Norman fiefs gained when his father entered the Abbey of St. Peter at
Preaux. Under Henry I Robert became "the first among the counsellors of the king." A
"strenuous and sagacious man," he served well in the Norman wars of William II and Henry I
(who owed his crown to Robert). Henry of Huntingdon states that Robert is "the wisest man
between this and Jerusalem." At Robert's death his lands were apparently divided between his
twin sons, Robert and Waleran, while a third son, Hugh, became Earl of Bedford in 1138.
(-Encyclopedia Britannica, 1956, 3:274) Robert's brother, Henry de Newburgh, b. ca. 1046, d.
