"Robert the Uneven"? Doesn't bossu mean humpback? --Heron 17:20, 14 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

His biographer David Crouch, author of "The Beaumont Twins", suggests that Robert had a stoop, rather than being hunchbacked. What I'd like to know is if Robert and Waleran were identical or fraternal twins! Missi 00:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)Reply



Regarding his wife, Amica de Montfort: What does daughter of Raoul, senior of Gael et of Montfort mean? Anyway, Weis says she was the daughter of Amauri de Montfort & Agnes de Garlande, daughter of the Count of Rochefort. ---Michael K. Smith 17:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply


Leicester Abbey edit

I've removed an amendment which confused the church of St Mary de Castro within the castle with the abbey of St Mary, outside the town, which was a separate (and long lost) church David Skipper 11:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
