He was Christened in 1164. Source: [[#S152]] Page: 60-28, 246-27Source: [[#S150]] Page: X 210-216 (d. 1221) was a member of a comital family, based at Hedingham (Essex), which owed its rise to rise to eminence to the patronage of the Empress Matilda in the civil war of King Stephen’s reign in the 1140s. ===Early Life===Robert himself was the third surviving son of Earl Aubrey (d. 1194) by his third wife, Agnes of Essex, and succeeded to the title on the death of his elder brother, another Aubrey in October 1214. ===Family=== Sometime before Michaelmas 1207 Robert had married Isabel de Bolebec,''Medieval Lands'': After 1206 m. Isabel de Bolebec, dau Hugh Bolbec and wife, and widow of Henry de Nonant. They had a son, Hugh, and a daughter, Eleanor (who married Ralph Gernon). the aunt and namesake of Earl Aubrey’s wife, who had died childless in 1206 or 1207. Isabel the niece had been the heiress to the Bolebec estate, which was centred on Whitchurch (Bucks.), and her own heirs were her two aunts. Robert’s marriage can therefore be seen as part of a de Vere strategy to retain control over at least half of the Bolebec lands. The de Veres were one of the least well-endowed of the comital families and would have been loath to allow a valuable estate to slip from their grasp. ===Occupation=== "Robert’s defection to the rebel side in 1215 provides yet another example of King John’s capacity to alienate men who should have been numbered among his natural allies. His predecessor in the title had been one of the king’s most loyal intimates and administrators. Robert was probably moved to defect in part by his resentment at the relief of 1000 marks charged for his entry into his inheritance, which was high for an estate of only moderate extent. Most of all, however, he probably nursed a grievance against the king for his failure to confirm him in the title of earl and in the office of court chamberlain, which de Veres held by hereditary right. Robert is known to have been present at the baronial muster at Stamford in April 1215 and he was named by the chronicler Roger Wendover as one of the principal promoters of discontent. He was a key figure in the East Anglian group of rebels. By 23 June, after the meeting at Runnymede, the king was evidently angling to regain his support because on that date a royal letter was issued which implicitly recognised him as earl of Oxford. By that time, however, it was too late: Robert had already been named to the Twenty Five. Towards the end of March 1216 John took possession of his castle at Hedingham after a three-day siege and the earl, who was not present, was granted a safe-conduct to seek the king’s forgiveness. Within months, however, he had defected to Louis of France and he was not to re-enter royal allegiance for good until the general settlement of the rebellion in the autumn of 1217. Upon the death of his childless elder brother Aubrey, second earl of Oxford, in 1214, Robert became third earl and hereditary great chamberlain of England.''Medieval Lands'' On payment of a thousand marks he obtained livery of his lands and the wardship of the heir of William FitzOates to marry to his niece. His brother had been reckoned among the 'evil counsellors' of King John, but he took the side of the barons, became one of the twenty-five executors of Magna Charta, forfeited his estates, and was excommunicated by the pope. He was one of the Barons who met at Stamford and who forced King John to grant Magna Carta at Runnymede, and was one of the twenty-five barons elected as its guardian (Magna Carta Surety 1215).=''Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and Commoner Ancestors & cousins'' After John's death he recovered his lands. He returned to allegiance to the crown in October 1217, pledging his loyalty to King Henry III. Robert has by some writers been reckoned a judge of the royal court, on the strength of a solitary record of fines levied before him in 1220, and as a younger son he might have been brought up to the law. But he may only have been presiding, as peers frequently did, over a body of itinerant justices. Indeed, he is found acting in that capacity in Hertfordshire later in the same year. ===Death=== "Robert died shortly before 25 October 1221''Medieval Lands'' and was buried in the Benedictine priory at Hatfield Broadoak.Colne, Essex, England. [[#S152]] Page: 60-28, 246-27; [[#S150]] Page: X 210-216 A century after his death, to mark the long-delayed completion of the priory church, a fine tomb effigy to his memory was commissioned, carved by the same sculptors who produced the monument to Aymer de Valence, earl of Pembroke, in Westminster Abbey.

Vincent called attention to the fact that on his shield the silver mullet in the first quarter was borne, not as by all other Veres upon a field gules, but upon one of France ancient. This anomaly does not seem to have been explained. In the year of Robert's death, his widow gave a site in the city of Oxford to the Dominicans (the black friars) who had just come into England.''Dictionary of National Biography'' Robert’s widow obtained the guardianship of their son, Hugh, who was a minor, and of his estates, which she was to exercise for about ten years. She died on 3 February 1245 and was buried in the Dominican friary at Oxford, nearer to her own family’s estates."Above text courtesy of Professor Nigel Saul and the [http://magnacarta800th.com/ Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Committee] ===Burials===Robert de Vere was buried at Hatfield Priory, Hatfield Peverel village, Braintree, Essex. presently the active priory church of St. Andrews, with parts of the original Norman priory church surviving. His wife Isabel was buried in the new church of the Black Friars, Oxford, which she founded.
