Notes:

Also called Robert du Humet. Constable of Normandy. In 1086, held of earl Roger three hides in Storrington, Sussex.

Called nepos episcopi in several contemporary sources. William Farrer (Honors and Knight's Fees, citation details below) and Thomas Stapleton (Magni rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae sub regibus Angliae, 1840-44) both believed he was a grandson of Bishop Odo of Bayeaux, the one depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry wielding a club. In 1950 Kathleen Major criticized this model as well as the suggestion that "nepos episcopi" referred to Robert Bloett, bishop of Lincoln. In Domesday Descendants (2002), K. S. B. Keats-Rohan called the identification of this Robert as a grandson of Odo "a weak chain of supposition." And in a 2000 post to SGM, J. C. B. Sharp argued that the bishop in question was Ranulf Flambard, bishop of Durham 1099-1128.

But in 2007, Daniel Power (in Henry, Duke of the Normans, Boydell Press) pointed out the existence of a contemporary charter for Saint-Fromond that describes Robert du Hommet as "nepos Odonis episcopi", which, as Peter Stewart observes in this post to SGM, is pretty strong evidence that Farrer and Stapleton were right all along.
