ROBERT de la Haye, son of RANULF & his wife --- ([1075/80]-[1150]). A manuscript recording the founding of Boxgrove Priory, Sussex states that it was founded by "Roberti di Haya…consanguineo eius" [referring to King Henry], to whom Henry I King of England had granted "honorem Halnaci" [Halmaker] in Sussex, and given to the abbey of Essay in Normandy[95]. According to Domesday Descendants, this was land which had been forfeited by William de Ansleville[96]. In the foundation charter of the priory he names himself "son of Ranulf the seneschal of Robert de Mortain" and "nephew of Eudo dapifer" [son of Thurstan Haldup][97]. Domesday Descendants dates the foundation to "before 1105"[98], which would place Robert´s birth in [1075/80], bearing in mind his date of death. "Robertus de Haia et sponsa mea Gundrede" donated Basselech Priory, Monmouth to Glastonbury, with the consent of "domini mei Roberti filii Hamonis et sponsæ suæ Sibiliæ", by charter dated to [1101/20][99]. King Henry I, with "Johanni episcopo Luxoviensi, et comiti Gloecestriæ, et comiti Rannulfo Cestriæ, et Roberto de Haia", confirmed the privileges of the church of Bayeux by charter dated [1118/35][100]. Henry I King of England confirmed the possessions of Holy Trinity, Lessay, including the donations by "Robertus de Haia Ricardus et Eudonis nepos" [which appears to be garbled] with the advice of "Muriele uxoris sue et filiorum suorum Ricardi…Radulfi", by charter dated 1126[101]. Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Lessai, including donations by "Turstini Haldup et Eudonis filii eius" confirmed by "Roberti de Haia et Murielis uxoris sue et Richardi et Radulfi filiorum eorum", by charter dated [1185/Jan 1188][102].

"Robertus de Haia et sponsa mea Gundrede" donated Basselech Priory, Monmouth to Glastonbury, with the consent of "domini mei Roberti filii Hamonis et sponsæ suæ Sibiliæ", by charter dated to [1101/20][103]. It is assumed that Gundred was Robert´s first wife as his wife Muriel was named in a charter dated 1126 (see below).

m [secondly] MURIEL, daughter of PICOT FitzColswein & his wife Beatrice ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated May 1111 which records that "Picotus filius Colwani Linc. cum uxore et quodam nepote…Ricardi et quadam nepte…Cecilia" donated revenue from "villa…Suttona et Luttona" to Spalding Monastery, in the presence of "ipso Pichoto uxore eius Beatrice…"[104]. Henry I King of England confirmed the possessions of Holy Trinity, Lessay, including the donations by "Robertus de Haia Ricardus et Eudonis nepos" [which appears to be garbled] with the advice of "Muriele uxoris sue et filiorum suorum Ricardi…Radulfi", by charter dated 1126[105].
