In the beginning of the reign of King Henry III, after h e had made his peace with that young monarch following the Battle of Lincoln, Robert was received into his favor, and was appointed one of the judges in the Court of King's Bench, but he died only a few months afterward, 25~ October 1 221, and was buried in the Priory of Hatfield, Broad Oak, in Essex.
