  Notes	[dunbar_tree.FTW] Robert received his father's English fiefs in 1118, becoming Earl of Leicester; was a chief advisor to King Stephen, but made his peace with Henry II and became Chief Justiciar of England. "First among the lay nobles he signed the Constitution of Clarendon, he sought to reconcile Henry and Archbishop Becket, and was twice in charge of the kingdom during the king's absences in France. The earl founded the abbey of St. Mary de Pre at Leicester and other religious houses, and by a charter confirmed the burgesses of Leicester in the possession of their merchant-guild and customs." -Encyclopedia Britannica, 1956, 3:275.
