Biography
Robert de Vere is a member of the House of De Vere.
Robert de Vere, Knt., 5th Earl of Oxford, hereditary Master Chamberlain of England, born about 1240/1 (age 22 or 23 in 1263), was the son and heir of Hugh de Vere, Knt., 4th Earl of Oxford, and Hawise de Quincy.[1][2]
Robert married Alice de Sanford, daughter and heiress of Gilbert de Sanford, before 22 February 1252.[1] They had six sons and two daughters:
- Robert de Vere, Knt., 6th Earl of Oxford, born about 24 June 1257, died 17 April 1331, married Margaret de Mortimer[1][2]
- Hugh de Vere, Knt., Lord Vere, born between June 1257 and March 1258/9, died after 22 May 1319, married Denise de Munchensy[1][2]
- Alphonse de Vere, Knt., born before 1262, died before 20 December 1328, married Joan Foliot[1][2]
- Gilbert de Vere (clerk), born 1264, died by 1289[1][2]
- Philip de Vere (clerk), born about 1266[1][2]
- John de Vere[1][2][3]
- Joan de Vere, married William de Warenne, Knt.[1][2]
- Hawise de Vere, was living in 1297, died without issue[1][2]
Robert rebelled against the king and was knighted by Simon de Montfort before the Battle of Lewes on 14 May 1264. While plundering Winchester in 1265, he was captured and his lands were forfeited and given to Roger de Mortimer. He was pardoned the following year and his lands were restored, after paying 3,000 marks. Robert was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277 and 1282. He was a benefactor to the Knights Hpspitallers, Hartford Priory and Thremhall Priory.[1]
Robert de Vere died before 7 September 1296. His widow, Alice, Countess of Oxford, died at Canfield, Essex 7 September 1312. They were both buried at Earls Colne, Essex.[1]
