    This Robert, in the second of Henry VII., was one of the commanders in that king's army against John Earl of Lincoln and his adherents, in the battle of Stork, near Newark, where he shared the honour of that victory, and afterwards speaker of the House of Commons and recorder of London, being then Sir Robert Sheffield.
