Research Notes
Robert has previously been shown on WikiTree as a son of Arnulph Montgomery. This is what is stated in Wikipedia[3] and by Marlyn Lewis;[4] Balfour Paul's Scots Peerage points out that the first mention of Robert in Scottish records is not before 1164, making it unlikely he was a son of Arnulph, and considers it more likely he belonged to a later generation of the Montgomery family.[2] There is no reliable evidence as to who Robert's parents were.

This encounter was chronicled in a vivid Borders ballad:
The Percy and Montgomery met That either of other were fain; They swapped swords and they twa swat And aye the blood ran down between.
The Percy family paid a great ransom for the release of Hotspur, and this money enabled the Montgomery clan to build the Castle of Polnoon. The old castle of Skelmorlie, near Largs, is now the home of the chiefs of the Montgomery clan. http://www.scotclans.com/scottish-clans/
