Research Notes
It is possible that he was a fictional character but he appears in a number of early sources and is suspected of being real.. There was an Arkil Morel appearing as Sheriff of Northumbria and he is likely the same person.

That reads as though Morel killed Robert de Mowbray which wouldn't be too likely as Arkil died at least 30 years prior to Robert who spent his remaining years in one prison or another.
