=== In Brief ===Robert de Roos, Magna Carta Surety, 4th Baron Hamlake, Sheriff of Cumberland was born between 1170 and 1172 at of Helmsley & Hunsingore, Yorkshire, England; Age 13 in 1185, but of age in 1191.
He married Isabel, illegitimate daughter of William I 'the Lion', King of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland and Isabel de Avernal, circa February 1191 at Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. They had 2 sons (Sir William; & Sir Robert).Douglas Richardson, Royal Ancestry, Vol. IV, p. 586.

----"'''Robert de Ros''' (c. 1182-1226/7), kinsman through marriage of Eustace de Vesci, and the son of Everard de Ros and Roese, née Trussebut, was a Yorkshire lord, the owner of extensive estates centring on Helmsley in the North Riding of Yorkshire and Wark-on-Tweed in Northumberland. He was married, at an unknown date, to Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, king of Scotland, and widow of Robert III de Brus.
"In the early 1200s Robert is found co-operating actively with King John, witnessing a number of his charters, chiefly at locations in northern England, and in 1203 assisting in the king’s defence of Normandy, where by descent from his mother he held the hereditary office of bailiff and constable of Bonneville-sur-Touques in the lower part of the duchy. In 1205, however, a year of rising political tension, there are signs that his relations with the king were worsening, and John ordered the seizure of his lands and, apparently shortly afterwards, had his son taken hostage. Robert, a little later, recovered his lands, but an indication that he might have been interested in leaving England is given by his acquisition of a licence to pledge his lands for crusading. It is not known, however, if he ever actually did embark for the East.
"In 1212 Robert seems to have entered a monastery, and on 15 May that year John handed over custody of his lands to one Philip de Ulcot. His monastic profession, however, cannot have lasted for long, for on 30 January 1213 John appointed him sheriff of Cumberland, and later in the same year he was one of the witnesses to John’s surrender of his kingdom to the pope. In 1215, as relations between the king and the baronial opposition worsened, John seems to have tried to keep Robert on his side, ordering one of his counsellors to try to secure the election of Robert’s aunt as abbess of Barking. By April, however, Robert was firmly on the baronial side, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and, after June, being nominated to the committee of twenty-five.
"When war between the king and his opponents broke out towards the end of the year, Robert was active on the baronial side, forfeiting his lands as a result and suffering the capture of his son at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. After Louis returned to France, Robert submitted to the new government and recovered most, although not all, of his lands. He witnessed the third and definitive reissue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225. Sometime before 1226 he retired to a monastery and he died either in that year or early in 1227. At some stage he was received into the ranks of the Templars and on his death he was buried in the Temple Church in London, where a few years earlier William Marshal, the one-time Regent had been buried. An effigy in that church sometimes associated with him dates from at least a generation later.
"Robert is an enigmatic individual who had close ties with Eustace de Vesci but did not openly join the rebellion until just before Runnymede. He probably felt a conflict between his sense of loyalty to his fellow Northerners and his obligation of obedience to the king."

== Notes ==Robert was of Helmsley and Hunsingore, Yorkshire, and Wark, Northumberland, bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, Sheriff of Cumberland. As son-in-law of King William, he was of his escort into England in November 1200 to do homage. In February 1205/6 he proposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On 25 May 1205 he had livery of his share of the manor of Braunston, Northamptonshire, formerly belonging to his grandmother, Aubrey de Harcourt. In 1212 he was believed to have taken the “habit of religion” as a Knight Templar of Jerusalem, but in the following year was certainly in the King’s employment. In spite of the previous favour the King had shown him, he was one of the most active in rebellion against King John, and one of the twenty-five Guardians of Magna Carta (Magna Carta Surety) in 1215. For this he was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, but joined with Peter de Brus and Richard de Percy, in attempting to subdue Yorkshire. All his lands in Yorkshire were granted, but he returned to his allegiance in November 1217, and his Cumberland estates were confirmed to him in 1218. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx, Newminster, Kirkham, and the Templars. He founded a hospital for lepers at Bolton, Northumberland. Robert died, or, as a Templar, retired from secular life, shortly before 23 Dec. 1226, when his son did homage for his lands.

== Notes ==Furfan, Robert de Ros, as a minor at his father's death was the ward of the King in 1185, when his lands were in the custody of Ranulph de Glanville. In 1190 he had livery of the lands of his Trussebut inheritance. He served as Sheriff of Cumberland 1213-15. As the son-in-law of William the Lion, King of Scotland, he was of his escort into England November 1200, to do homage. He was loyal and closely associated to King John, but was one of his most vigorous opponents in the matter of Magna Carta, being one of the 25 elected to see its provisions were obeyed. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx and Kirkham, and of the Templars, and also founded a hospital for the lepers in Northumberland. His date of death is not known, but his son and heir, William de Ros, did homage for his father's lands 23 December 1226, so whether he had died by this time, or as some speculate, as a Templar, had retired from secular life, is not known.

: [SOURCE 1]
: : Sir Robert de Ros or Roos of Fursan (1177 - 11 December 1226) was the fourth baron by tenure of Hamlake manor (later associated with the barony of de Ros).
: : He was the son of Everard de Ros and Rose Trusbut. In 1191, aged fourteen, he paid a thousand marks fine for livery of his lands to King Richard I of England. Also that year, he married Isabel, sister (or possibly daughter) of William the Lion, King of Scots (Isabella not to be confused with William I's daughter Isabella who married Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk). In 1197, while serving King Richard in Normandy, he was arrested for an unspecified offence, and was committed to the custody of Hugh de Chaumont, but Chaumont entrusted his prisoner to William de Spiney, who allowed him to escape from the castle of Bonville. King Richard thereupon hanged Spiney and collected a fine of twelve hundred marks from Ros' guardian as the price of his continued freedom.
: : When King John came to the throne, he gave Ros the barony of his great-grandmother's father, Walter d'Espec. Soon afterwards he was deputed one of those to escort William the Lion, his brother-in-law, into England, to swear fealty to King John. Some years later, Robert de Ros assumed the habit of a monk, whereupon the custody of all his lands and Castle Werke, in Northumberland, were committed to Philip d'Ulcote, but he soon returned and about a year later he was High Sheriff of County Cumberland.
: : When the struggle of the barons for a constitutional government began, de Ros at first sided with King John, and thus obtained some valuable grants from the crown, and was made governor of Carlisle; but he subsequently went over to the barons and became one of the celebrated twenty-five "Sureties" appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Carta, the county of Northumberland being placed under his supervision. He gave his allegiance to King Henry III and, in 1217-18, his manors were restored to him. Although he was witness to the second Great Charter and the Forest Charter, of 1224, he seems to have remained in royal favor.
: : He erected Helmsley or Hamlake Castle in Yorkshire, and of Werke in Northumberland. Sir Robert is buried at the Temple Church under a magnificent tomb. Among his children was Sir William de Ros.

: "...He was a member of the Order of Knights Templar. He died in1226/7 and was buried "in his proper habit" in the Knights' Church, orthe New Temple in London, where his tomb may be seen. His effigy isdescribed by Gough, in "Sepulchral Monuments," as "the most elegant ofall the figures in the Temple Church, representing a comly young knightin mail, and a flowing mantle with a kind of cowl; his hair neatly curledat the sides; his crown appears shaved. His hands are elevated in apraying posture, and on his left arm is a short, pointed shield chargedwith three water-bougets. He has on his left side a long sword, and thearmor of his legs, which are crossed, has a ridge, or a seam up thefront, continued over the knee. At his feet is a lion, and the wholefigure measures six feet two inches..."

=== Occupation ===
: Occupation: Knight Templar
: : Robert de Ros, surnamed Furfan, 4th Baron Hamlake;Magna Charta Surety Baron, in the 1st Richard I [1189], paid 1,000 marks fine to the crown for livery of his lands. In the 8th of the same reign [1197], being with the king in Normandy, he was committed to the custody of Hugh de Chaumont, for what offence appears not; with especial charge to the said Hugh, that he should keep him as safe as his own life; but Chaumont trusting William de Spiney with his prisoner, that person being corrupted, allowed him to escape out of the castle of Bonville. de Ros eventually gained nothing, however, by this escape, for Richard caused him nevertheless to pay 1,200 marks for his freedom, while he had the false traitor Spiney, hanged for his breach of faith.
: : In the next reign, however, Robert de Ros found more favour, for upon the accession of King John, that monarch gave him the whole barony of his great-grandmother's father, Walter Espee, to enjoy in as large and ample a manner as he, the said Walter, ever held it. Soon after which he was deputed, with the bishop of Durham, and other great men, to escort William, King of Scotland into England, which monarch coming to Lincoln, swore fealty there to King John, upon the cross of Hubert, archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of all the people. About the 14th of King John's reign [1213], Robert de Ros assumed the habit of a monk, whereupon the custody of all his lands, viz., Werke Castle, in the co. Northumberland, with his whole barony, was committed to Philip de Ulcote, but he did not continue long a recluse, for we find him the very next year executing the office of sheriff for the county of: Cumberland. At the commencement of the struggle between the barons and John, this feudal lord took part with the king, and obtained, in consequence, some grants from the crown; but he subsequently espoused the baronial cause, and was one of the celebrated twenty-five appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Charter. In the reign of King Henry III he seems, however, to have returned to his allegiance, and to have been in favour with that prince, for the year after the king's accession, a precept was issued by the crown to the sheriff of Cumberland, ordering the restoration of certain manors granted by King John to de Ros.
: : This feudal lord was the founder of the castle of Helmsley, otherwise Hamlake, in Yorkshire, and of the castle of Werke in Northumberland -- the former of which he bequeathed to his eldest son--the latter to the younger, with a barony in Scotland to be held of the elder by military service. In his latter days he became a Knight Templar, to which order himself and his predecessors had ever been munificently liberal, and dying in that habit, anno 1227, was buried in the Temple Church. Robert de Ros m. Isabel, natural dau. of William the Lion, King of Scotland, and widow of Robert de Brus, and had issue two sons, William, his successor; and Robert, Baron Ros of Werke. He was succeeded by his elder son. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, London, 1883, p. 458, Ros, or Roos, Barons Ros]
: : Son of Robert de Ros and Sibyl de Valognes; m. Isabel, natural dau. of William the Lion, King of Scots; father of Sir William de Ros. [Magna Charta Sureties, p. 129]
: : Father of Robert de Ros of Wark on Tweed, Northumberland. [Magna Charta Sureties, p. 132]

: : Son of Everard de Ros and Roese de Trussebutt; m. Isabela of Scotland; father of William I de Ros. [GRS 3.03, Automated Archives, CD#100]
: : It was Robert de Roos, also known as Fursan, who rebuilt Helmsley Castle in stone after 1186; it is recorded in the Chartulary of Rievaulx Abbey that he 'raised the Castles of Helmislay and of Wark'. The core of the surviving castle dates from this period. Fursan levelled off the inner bank of the earthwork castle, replacing it with an enclosing stone curtain wall and round corner towers.: The great-grandson of Peter de Roos, Fursan had married Isabel, dau of the Scots king. Towards the end of his life he joined the Knights Templar (the military religious order originally founded for the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land, and later an order of great wealth), and divided his estates between his two sons. The elder, William, received Helmsley, whilst his brother Robert was to hold Wark and estates in Scotland. [Helmsley Castle, p. 24]
: : In 1215 Wark Castle was burnt by King John, since the owner Robert de Ros had signed Magna Carta. It was rebuilt and later held under royal control. [Medieval Castles, Towers, Peles and Bastles of Northumberland, p. 16]
: : 3rd Lord Roos of Hamlake; aka Furfan; son of Everard de Ros of Helmsley or Hamlake in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The family also held lands in Holderness, where was situated Ros, to which they gave, or from which they received, their name.: Robert succeeded to his father's lands in 1191, paying a relief of 1000 makrs. In 1195 he was bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Lower Normandy near which the Norman lands of the family lay. [Stapleton, Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normaniae, vol I, pp. cxl, clxiv, vol II, p. lxxvii]: In 1196, after a battle between the men of Phillip Augustus and thos of Richard I, Richard handed over to Robert's keeping Hugh de Chaumont, a wealthy knight and intimate friend of Phillip Augustus. Robert imprisoned him in his castle of Bonneville. But his servant, the keeper of the castle, William D'Epinay, was bribed into coniving at Hugh's escape. Richard, angry at the loss of so important a prisoner, ordered D'Epinay to be hanged, and imposed a fine of 1200 marks on his master. 240 marks of this were still unpaid on 29 Jan 1204 when King John remitted 100 marks. [Patent Rolls, p. 38]: Immediately after his accession, John sent Robert and others to William the Lion of Scotland, Robert's father-in-law, to arrange an interview between the two sovereigns for 20 Nov 1199. On 6 Jan 1200 he received from teh king a grant of all honours and lands which had belonged to Walter Espec (gr.gr.grandfather to Robert) in the county of Northumberland, including Wark (just north of Hadrian's Wall and NE of Newcastle), where Robert built a castle. In the succeeding years he witnessed several royal charters, chiefly at places in the north of England, but on 7 Oct 1203 was again at Bonneville-sur-Touques [Charter Rolls, p. 111b] and seems to have been in Normandy in John's service durintg the later months of that year, returning to England before 22 FEb 1204, when he was at York [ibid, pp. 114a, 119b; Rotuli Normaniae, p. 113]. In the spring of 1205 he had some difficulty with John, possibly about the balance of his fine, and his lands were ordered to be seized [Close Rolls, i 246], but an order for their restoration was soon issued [ibid. i 31]. On 28 Feb 1206 he received licence, whenever he should take the cross, to pledge his lands for money to anyone of the king's subjects any time during the following three years [Hunter, Rotuli Selecti, p. 17]. This permission was renewed on 26 Feb 1207.: For some reason, possibly on account of the arrears of his fine, his son Robert was in the king's hands as a hostage on 13 Feb 1207. Robert seems to have let another prisoner escape, a certain Thomas de Bekering, and on 28 Dec 1207 was acquitted of a fine of 300 marks for his new offence [Close Rolls i. 99]. On 10 April 1209 he was sent with others by the king to meet the king of Scotland [Patent Rolls, p. 91].
: : In 1212 Robert seems to have assumed the monastic habit, and on 15 May of that year John therefore handed over the custody of his lands to Philip de Ulecot [Close Rolls, i. 116b]. His profession cannot, however, have lasted long for on 30 Jan 1213 the king committed to him the forest and county of Cumberland [Patent Rolls, p. 96b]. While on 25 Feb he was one of a commission to inquire into grievances, more especially the exactions of the royal officers in the counties of Lincoln and York [ibid, p. 97]. Among other royal favours which he received this year was that of a license to send across the seas a ship laden with wool and hides to bring back wine in exchange [9 Sep Close Rolls, i. 149b]. He interceded with the king in favour of his suzerain in Holderness, William of Aumale, and succeeded in getting him a safe-conduct as a preliminary to a reconciliation [1 Oct, Patent Rolls, p. 104b]. On 3 Oct he was one of the witnesses to John's surrender of the kingdom to the pope, and was one of 12 great men who undertook to compel John to keep his promises made in favour of the English church [Charter Rolls, p. 195; Litene Contuarienses, Rolls Ser. i.21].
: : During the troubled year 1214 and the early part of 1215 he continued in John's service as Sheriff of Cumberland, and on 10 Apr 1215 received the royal manors of Sowerby, Carleton, and Oulsby, all near Penrith in Cumberland and Westmoreland [Close Rolls i. 194]. About the same time John ordered John de Roches to do all that he could to secure the election of Robert's aunt as abbess of Barking, and in no wise permit the election of the sister of Robert Fitz Walter, one of the baronial leaders [ibid. i.202] But John failed, despite these favours, to secure Ros's adherence in his struggle with the barons.: According to Roger of Wendover (ii.114), Ros was one of the chief "incentors of this pest" (i.e., the baronial resistance of the king) in the meeting of the magnates at Stamford in the week following 19 April. He was one of the 25 barons elected to compel the observance of the Great Charter and took part in the resistance to John after his absolution from his oath to the pope. In consequence he was excommunicated by Innocent IV in January 1216. After the king's successes in the north in the early part of that year, a castle belonging to Robert was one of the only two that remained in the possession of the barons in the north of England. John granted his lands to William, Earl of Aumale, on 27 Jan 1216 [Close Rolls, i. 246b]. He was summoned to deliver up Carlisle Castle, and expressed his readiness to do so, merely asking for a safe conduct for an interview, which the king promised [ibid., i.269]. John repeated the offer on 12 April but it led to nothing. Robert held the government of Northumberland, and seems to have continued his resistance even after John's death. His son William was captured at Lincoln in May 1217. Robert in time submitted, and Henry III commanded his manors of Sowerby, Carleton, and Oulsby to be restored to him on 23 July 1218, and orders to different bailiffs of the king to allow him to hold his lands unmolested were issued on 22 Nov 1220 [Close Rolls, i.441]. In Feb 1221 he was summoned to help in beseiging and destroying Skipsea Castle [ibid. i.474b].
: : In 1222 he seems to have complained to the king that the King of Scotland was encroaching on English territory, and a commission of inquiry was appointed [ibid. i496b]. Whether it was that the Sheriff of Cumberland, apparently Walter Bishop of Carlisle, had delayed to restore his lands through jealousy, or that they had been seized again, their restoration was again ordered on 24 May 1222. On 23 May of the following year the king forbade the same Sheriff of Cumberland to exact tallages from the royal manors given to Robert. A renewed order to give Robert seisin of these manors on 6 Feb 1225 seems to point to further disobedience to the king's former orders [ibid. ii.15]. Robert witnessed the third reissue of the Great Charter on 11 Feb of that year. On 26 FEb 1226 Henry ordered the barons of the exchequer to deduct from the firm of the county owing by Walter Bishop of Carlisle, the revenues of the royal manors given to Robert de Ros. Robert again took the monastic habit before 18 Jan 1227 [ibid. ii1666]. He died in that year, and was buried in the Temple Church at London.
In the modern era, there are reportedly no tombs or burials in Temple Church in central London. Only effigies can be seen there today.
: He m. Isabella, dau. of William the Lion King of Scotland, and had by her two sons:
: 1. William
: 2. Robert, Baron Ros of Wark: He gave the manor of Ribston (West Riding of Yorkshire) to the knights templars, who established a commandery there. He also gave several houses in York to the sme order [Close Rolls, I.117b]. He founded the leprosery of St Thomas the Martyr at Bolton. [W. Glyn Thomas]

----"'''Robert de Ros''' (c. 1182-1226/7), kinsman through marriage of Eustace de Vesci, and the son of Everard de Ros and Roese, née Trussebut, was a Yorkshire lord, the owner of extensive estates centring on Helmsley in the North Riding of Yorkshire and Wark-on-Tweed in Northumberland. He was married, at an unknown date, to Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, king of Scotland, and widow of Robert III de Brus.
"In the early 1200s Robert is found co-operating actively with King John, witnessing a number of his charters, chiefly at locations in northern England, and in 1203 assisting in the king’s defence of Normandy, where by descent from his mother he held the hereditary office of bailiff and constable of Bonneville-sur-Touques in the lower part of the duchy. In 1205, however, a year of rising political tension, there are signs that his relations with the king were worsening, and John ordered the seizure of his lands and, apparently shortly afterwards, had his son taken hostage. Robert, a little later, recovered his lands, but an indication that he might have been interested in leaving England is given by his acquisition of a licence to pledge his lands for crusading. It is not known, however, if he ever actually did embark for the East.
"In 1212 Robert seems to have entered a monastery, and on 15 May that year John handed over custody of his lands to one Philip de Ulcot. His monastic profession, however, cannot have lasted for long, for on 30 January 1213 John appointed him sheriff of Cumberland, and later in the same year he was one of the witnesses to John’s surrender of his kingdom to the pope. In 1215, as relations between the king and the baronial opposition worsened, John seems to have tried to keep Robert on his side, ordering one of his counsellors to try to secure the election of Robert’s aunt as abbess of Barking. By April, however, Robert was firmly on the baronial side, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and, after June, being nominated to the committee of twenty-five.
"When war between the king and his opponents broke out towards the end of the year, Robert was active on the baronial side, forfeiting his lands as a result and suffering the capture of his son at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. After Louis returned to France, Robert submitted to the new government and recovered most, although not all, of his lands. He witnessed the third and definitive reissue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225. Sometime before 1226 he retired to a monastery and he died either in that year or early in 1227. At some stage he was received into the ranks of the Templars and on his death he was buried in the Temple Church in London, where a few years earlier William Marshal, the one-time Regent had been buried. An effigy in that church sometimes associated with him dates from at least a generation later.
"Robert is an enigmatic individual who had close ties with Eustace de Vesci but did not openly join the rebellion until just before Runnymede. He probably felt a conflict between his sense of loyalty to his fellow Northerners and his obligation of obedience to the king."

Robert was of Helmsley and Hunsingore, Yorkshire, and Wark, Northumberland, bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, Sheriff of Cumberland. As son-in-law of King William, he was of his escort into England in November 1200 to do homage. In February 1205/6 he proposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On 25 May 1205 he had livery of his share of the manor of Braunston, Northamptonshire, formerly belonging to his grandmother, Aubrey de Harcourt. In 1212 he was believed to have taken the “habit of religion” as a Knight Templar of Jerusalem, but in the following year was certainly in the King’s employment. In spite of the previous favour the King had shown him, he was one of the most active in rebellion against King John, and one of the twenty-five Guardians of Magna Carta (Magna Carta Surety) in 1215. For this he was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, but joined with Peter de Brus and Richard de Percy, in attempting to subdue Yorkshire. All his lands in Yorkshire were granted, but he returned to his allegiance in November 1217, and his Cumberland estates were confirmed to him in 1218. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx, Newminster, Kirkham, and the Templars. He founded a hospital for lepers at Bolton, Northumberland. Robert died, or, as a Templar, retired from secular life, shortly before 23 Dec. 1226, when his son did homage for his lands.

----Furfan, Robert de Ros, as a minor at his father's death was the ward of the King in 1185, when his lands were in the custody of Ranulph de Glanville. In 1190 he had livery of the lands of his Trussebut inheritance. He served as Sheriff of Cumberland 1213-15. As the son-in-law of William the Lion, King of Scotland, he was of his escort into England November 1200, to do homage. He was loyal and closely associated to King John, but was one of his most vigorous opponents in the matter of Magna Carta, being one of the 25 elected to see its provisions were obeyed. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx and Kirkham, and of the Templars, and also founded a hospital for the lepers in Northumberland. His date of death is not known, but his son and heir, William de Ros, did homage for his father's lands 23 December 1226, so whether he had died by this time, or as some speculate, as a Templar, had retired from secular life, is not known.

It was Robert de Roos, also known as Fursan, who rebuilt Helmsley Castle in stone after 1186; it is recorded in the Chartulary of Rievaulx Abbey that he 'raised the Castles of Helmislay and of Wark'. The core of the surviving castle dates from this period. Fursan levelled off the inner bank of the earthwork castle, replacing it with an enclosing stone curtain wall and round corner towers.
The great-grandson of Peter de Roos, Fursan had married Isabel, dau of the Scots king. Towards the end of his life he joined the Knights Templar (the military religious order originally founded for the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land, and later an order of great wealth), and divided his estates between his two sons. The elder, William, received Helmsley, whilst his brother Robert was to hold Wark and estates in Scotland.Helmsley Castle, p. 24

1196: after a battle between men of Phillip Augustus and thos of Richard I, Richard handed over to Robert's keeping Hugh de Chaumont, a wealthy knight and intimate friend of Phillip Augustus. Robert imprisoned him in his castle of Bonneville. But his servant, the keeper of the castle, William D'Epinay, was bribed into coniving at Hugh's escape. Richard, angry at the loss of so important a prisoner, ordered D'Epinay to be hanged, and imposed a fine of 1200 marks on his master. 240 marks of this were still unpaid on 29 Jan 1204 when King John remitted 100 marks.Patent Rolls, p. 38
Immediately after accession, John sent Robert and others to William the Lion of Scotland, Robert's father-in-law, to arrange an interview between the two sovereigns for 20 Nov 1199.
6 Jan 1200: king granted all honors and lands that belonged to Walter Espec (g-g-grandfather to Robert) in Northumberland, including Wark where Robert built a castle. In succeeding years he witnessed several royal charters, chiefly in north England, but on 7 Oct 1203 was at Bonneville-sur-Touques,Charter Rolls, p. 111b He might have been in John's service at Normandy later that year, returning to England before 22 Feb 1204, when he was at York.ibid, pp. 114a, 119b; Rotuli Normaniae, p. 113.

13 Feb 1207: For some reason, possibly on account of the arrears of his fine, his son Robert was in the king's hands as a hostage. Robert seems to have let prisoner Thomas de Bekering escape, and on 28 Dec 1207 was acquitted of a fine of 300 marks for his new offence.Close Rolls i. 99

* week following 19 April.: According to Roger of Wendover,ii.114, Ros was one of the chief "incentors of this pest" (i.e., the baronial resistance of the king) in the meeting of the magnates at Stamford. He was one of the 25 barons elected to promote observance of the Great Charter, and took part in the resistance against John after his absolution from his oath to the pope. Consequently, Innocent IV excommunicated him in January 1216.
1215: Wark Castle was burned by King John, since the owner Robert de Ros had signed Magna Carta. It was rebuilt and later held under royal control.Medieval Castles, Towers, Peles and Bastles of Northumberland, p. 16

Robert de Roos, Magna Carta Surety, 4th Baron Hamlake, Sheriff of Cumberland died in 1227 at England; Buried in the Temple Church, London.2,3
----"'''Robert de Ros''' (c. 1182-1226/7), kinsman through marriage of Eustace de Vesci, and the son of Everard de Ros and Roese, née Trussebut, was a Yorkshire lord, the owner of extensive estates centring on Helmsley in the North Riding of Yorkshire and Wark-on-Tweed in Northumberland. He was married, at an unknown date, to Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, king of Scotland, and widow of Robert III de Brus.
"In the early 1200s Robert is found co-operating actively with King John, witnessing a number of his charters, chiefly at locations in northern England, and in 1203 assisting in the king’s defence of Normandy, where by descent from his mother he held the hereditary office of bailiff and constable of Bonneville-sur-Touques in the lower part of the duchy. In 1205, however, a year of rising political tension, there are signs that his relations with the king were worsening, and John ordered the seizure of his lands and, apparently shortly afterwards, had his son taken hostage. Robert, a little later, recovered his lands, but an indication that he might have been interested in leaving England is given by his acquisition of a licence to pledge his lands for crusading. It is not known, however, if he ever actually did embark for the East.
"In 1212 Robert seems to have entered a monastery, and on 15 May that year John handed over custody of his lands to one Philip de Ulcot. His monastic profession, however, cannot have lasted for long, for on 30 January 1213 John appointed him sheriff of Cumberland, and later in the same year he was one of the witnesses to John’s surrender of his kingdom to the pope. In 1215, as relations between the king and the baronial opposition worsened, John seems to have tried to keep Robert on his side, ordering one of his counsellors to try to secure the election of Robert’s aunt as abbess of Barking. By April, however, Robert was firmly on the baronial side, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and, after June, being nominated to the committee of twenty-five.
"When war between the king and his opponents broke out towards the end of the year, Robert was active on the baronial side, forfeiting his lands as a result and suffering the capture of his son at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. After Louis returned to France, Robert submitted to the new government and recovered most, although not all, of his lands. He witnessed the third and definitive reissue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225. Sometime before 1226 he retired to a monastery and he died either in that year or early in 1227. At some stage he was received into the ranks of the Templars and on his death he was buried in the Temple Church in London, where a few years earlier William Marshal, the one-time Regent had been buried. An effigy in that church sometimes associated with him dates from at least a generation later.
"Robert is an enigmatic individual who had close ties with Eustace de Vesci but did not openly join the rebellion until just before Runnymede. He probably felt a conflict between his sense of loyalty to his fellow Northerners and his obligation of obedience to the king."

He married Isabel, illegitimate daughter of William I 'the Lion', King of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland and Isabel de Avernal, circa February 1191 at Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. They had 2 sons (Sir William; & Sir Robert).Douglas Richardson, Royal Ancestry, Vol. IV, p. 586.
Robert de Roos, Magna Carta Surety, 4th Baron Hamlake, Sheriff of Cumberland died in 1227 at England; Buried in the Temple Church, London.2,3
----"'''Robert de Ros''' (c. 1182-1226/7), kinsman through marriage of Eustace de Vesci, and the son of Everard de Ros and Roese, née Trussebut, was a Yorkshire lord, the owner of extensive estates centring on Helmsley in the North Riding of Yorkshire and Wark-on-Tweed in Northumberland. He was married, at an unknown date, to Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, king of Scotland, and widow of Robert III de Brus.
"In the early 1200s Robert is found co-operating actively with King John, witnessing a number of his charters, chiefly at locations in northern England, and in 1203 assisting in the king’s defence of Normandy, where by descent from his mother he held the hereditary office of bailiff and constable of Bonneville-sur-Touques in the lower part of the duchy. In 1205, however, a year of rising political tension, there are signs that his relations with the king were worsening, and John ordered the seizure of his lands and, apparently shortly afterwards, had his son taken hostage. Robert, a little later, recovered his lands, but an indication that he might have been interested in leaving England is given by his acquisition of a licence to pledge his lands for crusading. It is not known, however, if he ever actually did embark for the East.
"In 1212 Robert seems to have entered a monastery, and on 15 May that year John handed over custody of his lands to one Philip de Ulcot. His monastic profession, however, cannot have lasted for long, for on 30 January 1213 John appointed him sheriff of Cumberland, and later in the same year he was one of the witnesses to John’s surrender of his kingdom to the pope. In 1215, as relations between the king and the baronial opposition worsened, John seems to have tried to keep Robert on his side, ordering one of his counsellors to try to secure the election of Robert’s aunt as abbess of Barking. By April, however, Robert was firmly on the baronial side, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and, after June, being nominated to the committee of twenty-five.
"When war between the king and his opponents broke out towards the end of the year, Robert was active on the baronial side, forfeiting his lands as a result and suffering the capture of his son at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. After Louis returned to France, Robert submitted to the new government and recovered most, although not all, of his lands. He witnessed the third and definitive reissue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225. Sometime before 1226 he retired to a monastery and he died either in that year or early in 1227. At some stage he was received into the ranks of the Templars and on his death he was buried in the Temple Church in London, where a few years earlier William Marshal, the one-time Regent had been buried. An effigy in that church sometimes associated with him dates from at least a generation later.
"Robert is an enigmatic individual who had close ties with Eustace de Vesci but did not openly join the rebellion until just before Runnymede. He probably felt a conflict between his sense of loyalty to his fellow Northerners and his obligation of obedience to the king."

Robert was of Helmsley and Hunsingore, Yorkshire, and Wark, Northumberland, bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, Sheriff of Cumberland. As son-in-law of King William, he was of his escort into England in November 1200 to do homage. In February 1205/6 he proposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On 25 May 1205 he had livery of his share of the manor of Braunston, Northamptonshire, formerly belonging to his grandmother, Aubrey de Harcourt. In 1212 he was believed to have taken the “habit of religion” as a Knight Templar of Jerusalem, but in the following year was certainly in the King’s employment. In spite of the previous favour the King had shown him, he was one of the most active in rebellion against King John, and one of the twenty-five Guardians of Magna Carta (Magna Carta Surety) in 1215. For this he was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, but joined with Peter de Brus and Richard de Percy, in attempting to subdue Yorkshire. All his lands in Yorkshire were granted, but he returned to his allegiance in November 1217, and his Cumberland estates were confirmed to him in 1218. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx, Newminster, Kirkham, and the Templars. He founded a hospital for lepers at Bolton, Northumberland. Robert died, or, as a Templar, retired from secular life, shortly before 23 Dec. 1226, when his son did homage for his lands.

----Furfan, Robert de Ros, as a minor at his father's death was the ward of the King in 1185, when his lands were in the custody of Ranulph de Glanville. In 1190 he had livery of the lands of his Trussebut inheritance. He served as Sheriff of Cumberland 1213-15. As the son-in-law of William the Lion, King of Scotland, he was of his escort into England November 1200, to do homage. He was loyal and closely associated to King John, but was one of his most vigorous opponents in the matter of Magna Carta, being one of the 25 elected to see its provisions were obeyed. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx and Kirkham, and of the Templars, and also founded a hospital for the lepers in Northumberland. His date of death is not known, but his son and heir, William de Ros, did homage for his father's lands 23 December 1226, so whether he had died by this time, or as some speculate, as a Templar, had retired from secular life, is not known.
----Sir Robert de Ros or Roos of Fursan (1177 - 11 December 1226) was the fourth baron by tenure of Hamlake manor (later associated with the barony of de Ros).
----"He was a member of the Order of Knights Templar. He died in1226/7 and was buried "in his proper habit" in the Knights' Church, orthe New Temple in London, where his tomb may be seen. His effigy isdescribed by Gough, in "Sepulchral Monuments," as "the most elegant ofall the figures in the Temple Church, representing a comly young knightin mail, and a flowing mantle with a kind of cowl; his hair neatly curledat the sides; his crown appears shaved. His hands are elevated in apraying posture, and on his left arm is a short, pointed shield chargedwith three water-bougets. He has on his left side a long sword, and thearmor of his legs, which are crossed, has a ridge, or a seam up thefront, continued over the knee. At his feet is a lion, and the wholefigure measures six feet two inches..."

It was Robert de Roos, also known as Fursan, who rebuilt Helmsley Castle in stone after 1186; it is recorded in the Chartulary of Rievaulx Abbey that he 'raised the Castles of Helmislay and of Wark'. The core of the surviving castle dates from this period. Fursan levelled off the inner bank of the earthwork castle, replacing it with an enclosing stone curtain wall and round corner towers.
The great-grandson of Peter de Roos, Fursan had married Isabel, dau of the Scots king. Towards the end of his life he joined the Knights Templar (the military religious order originally founded for the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land, and later an order of great wealth), and divided his estates between his two sons. The elder, William, received Helmsley, whilst his brother Robert was to hold Wark and estates in Scotland.Helmsley Castle, p. 24


==Timeline==1190s: 3rd Lord Roos of Hamlake; aka Furfan; son of Everard de Ros of Helmsley or Hamlake in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The family also held lands in Holderness, where was situated Ros, to which they gave, or from which they received, their name. Robert succeeded to his father's lands in 1191, paying a relief of 1000 makrs. In 1195 he was bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Lower Normandy near which the Norman lands of the family lay.Stapleton, Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normaniae, vol I, pp. cxl, clxiv, vol II, p. lxxvii


1196: after a battle between men of Phillip Augustus and thos of Richard I, Richard handed over to Robert's keeping Hugh de Chaumont, a wealthy knight and intimate friend of Phillip Augustus. Robert imprisoned him in his castle of Bonneville. But his servant, the keeper of the castle, William D'Epinay, was bribed into coniving at Hugh's escape. Richard, angry at the loss of so important a prisoner, ordered D'Epinay to be hanged, and imposed a fine of 1200 marks on his master. 240 marks of this were still unpaid on 29 Jan 1204 when King John remitted 100 marks.Patent Rolls, p. 38

13 Feb 1207: For some reason, possibly on account of the arrears of his fine, his son Robert was in the king's hands as a hostage. Robert seems to have let prisoner Thomas de Bekering escape, and on 28 Dec 1207 was acquitted of a fine of 300 marks for his new offence.Close Rolls i. 99

----"'''Robert de Ros''' (c. 1182-1226/7), kinsman through marriage of Eustace de Vesci, and the son of Everard de Ros and Roese, née Trussebut, was a Yorkshire lord, the owner of extensive estates centring on Helmsley in the North Riding of Yorkshire and Wark-on-Tweed in Northumberland. He was married, at an unknown date, to Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, king of Scotland, and widow of Robert III de Brus.
"In the early 1200s Robert is found co-operating actively with King John, witnessing a number of his charters, chiefly at locations in northern England, and in 1203 assisting in the king’s defence of Normandy, where by descent from his mother he held the hereditary office of bailiff and constable of Bonneville-sur-Touques in the lower part of the duchy. In 1205, however, a year of rising political tension, there are signs that his relations with the king were worsening, and John ordered the seizure of his lands and, apparently shortly afterwards, had his son taken hostage. Robert, a little later, recovered his lands, but an indication that he might have been interested in leaving England is given by his acquisition of a licence to pledge his lands for crusading. It is not known, however, if he ever actually did embark for the East.
"In 1212 Robert seems to have entered a monastery, and on 15 May that year John handed over custody of his lands to one Philip de Ulcot. His monastic profession, however, cannot have lasted for long, for on 30 January 1213 John appointed him sheriff of Cumberland, and later in the same year he was one of the witnesses to John’s surrender of his kingdom to the pope. In 1215, as relations between the king and the baronial opposition worsened, John seems to have tried to keep Robert on his side, ordering one of his counsellors to try to secure the election of Robert’s aunt as abbess of Barking. By April, however, Robert was firmly on the baronial side, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and, after June, being nominated to the committee of twenty-five.
"When war between the king and his opponents broke out towards the end of the year, Robert was active on the baronial side, forfeiting his lands as a result and suffering the capture of his son at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. After Louis returned to France, Robert submitted to the new government and recovered most, although not all, of his lands. He witnessed the third and definitive reissue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225. Sometime before 1226 he retired to a monastery and he died either in that year or early in 1227. At some stage he was received into the ranks of the Templars and on his death he was buried in the Temple Church in London, where a few years earlier William Marshal, the one-time Regent had been buried. An effigy in that church sometimes associated with him dates from at least a generation later.
"Robert is an enigmatic individual who had close ties with Eustace de Vesci but did not openly join the rebellion until just before Runnymede. He probably felt a conflict between his sense of loyalty to his fellow Northerners and his obligation of obedience to the king."

Robert was of Helmsley and Hunsingore, Yorkshire, and Wark, Northumberland, bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, Sheriff of Cumberland. As son-in-law of King William, he was of his escort into England in November 1200 to do homage. In February 1205/6 he proposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On 25 May 1205 he had livery of his share of the manor of Braunston, Northamptonshire, formerly belonging to his grandmother, Aubrey de Harcourt. In 1212 he was believed to have taken the “habit of religion” as a Knight Templar of Jerusalem, but in the following year was certainly in the King’s employment. In spite of the previous favour the King had shown him, he was one of the most active in rebellion against King John, and one of the twenty-five Guardians of Magna Carta (Magna Carta Surety) in 1215. For this he was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, but joined with Peter de Brus and Richard de Percy, in attempting to subdue Yorkshire. All his lands in Yorkshire were granted, but he returned to his allegiance in November 1217, and his Cumberland estates were confirmed to him in 1218. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx, Newminster, Kirkham, and the Templars. He founded a hospital for lepers at Bolton, Northumberland. Robert died, or, as a Templar, retired from secular life, shortly before 23 Dec. 1226, when his son did homage for his lands.

----Furfan, Robert de Ros, as a minor at his father's death was the ward of the King in 1185, when his lands were in the custody of Ranulph de Glanville. In 1190 he had livery of the lands of his Trussebut inheritance. He served as Sheriff of Cumberland 1213-15. As the son-in-law of William the Lion, King of Scotland, he was of his escort into England November 1200, to do homage. He was loyal and closely associated to King John, but was one of his most vigorous opponents in the matter of Magna Carta, being one of the 25 elected to see its provisions were obeyed. He was a benefactor of Rievaulx and Kirkham, and of the Templars, and also founded a hospital for the lepers in Northumberland. His date of death is not known, but his son and heir, William de Ros, did homage for his father's lands 23 December 1226, so whether he had died by this time, or as some speculate, as a Templar, had retired from secular life, is not known.
----Sir Robert de Ros or Roos of Fursan (1177 - 11 December 1226) was the fourth baron by tenure of Hamlake manor (later associated with the barony of de Ros).
----"He was a member of the Order of Knights Templar. He died in1226/7 and was buried "in his proper habit" in the Knights' Church, orthe New Temple in London, where his tomb may be seen. His effigy isdescribed by Gough, in "Sepulchral Monuments," as "the most elegant ofall the figures in the Temple Church, representing a comly young knightin mail, and a flowing mantle with a kind of cowl; his hair neatly curledat the sides; his crown appears shaved. His hands are elevated in apraying posture, and on his left arm is a short, pointed shield chargedwith three water-bougets. He has on his left side a long sword, and thearmor of his legs, which are crossed, has a ridge, or a seam up thefront, continued over the knee. At his feet is a lion, and the wholefigure measures six feet two inches..."

It was Robert de Roos, also known as Fursan, who rebuilt Helmsley Castle in stone after 1186; it is recorded in the Chartulary of Rievaulx Abbey that he 'raised the Castles of Helmislay and of Wark'. The core of the surviving castle dates from this period. Fursan levelled off the inner bank of the earthwork castle, replacing it with an enclosing stone curtain wall and round corner towers.
The great-grandson of Peter de Roos, Fursan had married Isabel, dau of the Scots king. Towards the end of his life he joined the Knights Templar (the military religious order originally founded for the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land, and later an order of great wealth), and divided his estates between his two sons. The elder, William, received Helmsley, whilst his brother Robert was to hold Wark and estates in Scotland.Helmsley Castle, p. 24


==Timeline==1190s: 3rd Lord Roos of Hamlake; aka Furfan; son of Everard de Ros of Helmsley or Hamlake in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The family also held lands in Holderness, where was situated Ros, to which they gave, or from which they received, their name. Robert succeeded to his father's lands in 1191, paying a relief of 1000 makrs. In 1195 he was bailiff and castellan of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Lower Normandy near which the Norman lands of the family lay.Stapleton, Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normaniae, vol I, pp. cxl, clxiv, vol II, p. lxxvii


1196: after a battle between men of Phillip Augustus and thos of Richard I, Richard handed over to Robert's keeping Hugh de Chaumont, a wealthy knight and intimate friend of Phillip Augustus. Robert imprisoned him in his castle of Bonneville. But his servant, the keeper of the castle, William D'Epinay, was bribed into coniving at Hugh's escape. Richard, angry at the loss of so important a prisoner, ordered D'Epinay to be hanged, and imposed a fine of 1200 marks on his master. 240 marks of this were still unpaid on 29 Jan 1204 when King John remitted 100 marks.Patent Rolls, p. 38
Immediately after accession, John sent Robert and others to William the Lion of Scotland, Robert's father-in-law, to arrange an interview between the two sovereigns for 20 Nov 1199.
6 Jan 1200: king granted all honors and lands that belonged to Walter Espec (g-g-grandfather to Robert) in Northumberland, including Wark where Robert built a castle. In succeeding years he witnessed several royal charters, chiefly in north England, but on 7 Oct 1203 was at Bonneville-sur-Touques,Charter Rolls, p. 111b He might have been in John's service at Normandy later that year, returning to England before 22 Feb 1204, when he was at York.ibid, pp. 114a, 119b; Rotuli Normaniae, p. 113.
spring 1205: difficulty with John, possibly about the balance of his fine, and his lands were seized,Close Rolls, i 246 but an order for their restoration was soon issued.ibid. i 31.
28 Feb 1206: received licence, whenever he should take the cross, to pledge his lands for money to anyone of the king's subjects any time during the following three years.Hunter, Rotuli Selecti, p. 17. (permission renewed 26 Feb 1207).
13 Feb 1207: For some reason, possibly on account of the arrears of his fine, his son Robert was in the king's hands as a hostage. Robert seems to have let prisoner Thomas de Bekering escape, and on 28 Dec 1207 was acquitted of a fine of 300 marks for his new offence.Close Rolls i. 99
10 Apr 1209: sent with others by the king to meet the king of Scotland.Patent Rolls, p. 91

1212: Robert seems to have assumed the monastic habit* 15 May: John therefore handed over custody of his lands to Philip de Ulecot.Close Rolls, i. 116b. His profession cannot have lasted long ...
30 Jan 1213: king committed to him the forest and county of Cumberland.Patent Rolls, p. 96b
25 Feb 1213: on a commission to inquire into grievances for exactions of royal officers in Lincoln and York.ibid, p. 97 Among other royal favors he received this year was a license to send across the seas a ship laden with wool and hides to bring back wine in exchange.9 Sep Close Rolls, i. 149b. He interceded with the king in favor of William of Aumale, his suzerain in Holderness, and got him safe-conduct as a preliminary to a reconciliation1 Oct, Patent Rolls, p. 104b.
03 Oct 1213: a witness of John's surrender of the kingdom to the pope, and one of 12 men who tried to compel John to keep promises in favor of English churchCharter Rolls, p. 195; Litene Contuarienses, Rolls Ser. i.21
:1214 - early 1215: continued in John's service as Sheriff of Cumberland, *10 Apr 1215: received the royal manors of Sowerby, Carleton, and Oulsby, all near Penrith in Cumberland and Westmoreland.Close Rolls i. 194 About the same time John ordered John de Roches to do all that he could to secure the election of Robert's aunt as abbess of Barking, and in no wise permit the election of the sister of Robert Fitz Walter, one of the baronial leadersibid. i.202 But John failed, despite these favours, to secure Ros's adherence in his struggle with the barons.
* week following 19 April.: According to Roger of Wendover,ii.114, Ros was one of the chief "incentors of this pest" (i.e., the baronial resistance of the king) in the meeting of the magnates at Stamford. He was one of the 25 barons elected to promote observance of the Great Charter, and took part in the resistance against John after his absolution from his oath to the pope. Consequently, Innocent IV excommunicated him in January 1216.
1215: Wark Castle was burned by King John, since the owner Robert de Ros had signed Magna Carta. It was rebuilt and later held under royal control.Medieval Castles, Towers, Peles and Bastles of Northumberland, p. 16
1216: After king's success in the north earlier in the year, a castle belonging to Robert was one of the only two that remained in the possession of the barons in the north. * 27 Jan: John granted his lands to William, Earl of Aumale.Close Rolls, i. 246b He was summoned to deliver up Carlisle Castle, and expressed his readiness to do so, merely asking for a safe conduct for an interview, which the king promisedibid., i.269. *12 Apr: John repeated offer but led to nothing. Robert held the government of Northumberland, and seems to have continued his resistance even after John died.
May 1217: son William was captured at Lincoln. Robert eventually submitted, and Henry III commanded his manors of Sowerby, Carleton, and Oulsby to be restored to him on 23 July 1218, and orders to different bailiffs of the king to allow him to hold his lands unmolested were issued on 22 Nov 1220.Close Rolls, i.441
Feb 1221: summoned to help beseige and destroy Skipsea Castle.ibid. i.474b
1222: seems to complain to the king that the King of Scotland was encroaching on English territory, and a commission of inquiry was appointed.ibid. i496b
*24 May: Whether the Sheriff of Cumberland, apparently Walter Bishop of Carlisle, delayed to restore his lands through jealousy, or they were seized again, their restoration was ordered again.
23 May 1222: king forbade same Sheriff of Cumberland to exact tallages from royal manors given to Robert.
06 Feb 1225: renewed order to give Robert seisin of these royal manors seems to indicate king's former orders disobeyed.ibid. ii.15
* 11 Feb: Robert witnessed the third reissue of the Great Charter. * 26 Feb: Henry ordered barons of the exchequer to deduct revenues of the royal manors given to Robert de Ros from the county firm owed by Walter Bishop of Carlisle.
before 18 Jan 1227: Robert takes the monastic habit again.ibid. ii1666* He died that year and was buried in the Temple Church at London. In the modern era, there are reportedly no tombs or burials in Temple Church in central London. Only effigies can be seen there today.
