Robert was the illegitimate son of Henry I and Edith, (of unknown parentage.) He was styled Robert FitzEdith or Robert FitzRoy. By 1130, he owned land in Devon, and is listed on the Pipe Role for 1129/1130. During the Civil War, he was on the side of his half-sister Matilda. He may have died in 1172, however "Robertus filius Regis" is named in an official document in 1176/77.
Robert married twice, but the name of his first wife is unknown. His second marriage, late in life but before 1162, was to Matilda d'Avranches, Robert d´Avranches & Matilda Avenell. He was her second husband. They had one daughter, Matilda, who married Guillaume de Courtenay, son of Renaud Seigneur de Courtenay.
