Notes:

Also known by the alias "William Wither."

From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography:

In 1231 he became conspicuous for his opposition to the Roman and Italian clergy who had received papal provision to churches in England. With the assistance of the archbishop of York, an Italian had been intruded to the church of Kirkleatham, the advowson of which Robert and his wife had recovered in 1230 following litigation against the prior of Guisborough. Robert adopted the alias William Wither, literally 'William the Angry'; he placed himself at the head of an armed agitation against the foreigners and about Easter 1232 pillaged their corn and barns and distributed the spoils among the poor. In response to complaints from the pope Henry III ordered the arrest of various leading courtiers who were implicated in these disturbances, including Hubert de Burgh (d. 1243), the chief justiciar, who is said to have lent tacit support to the 'Withermen' out of anger at a papal inquiry into the legality of his marriage. Thwing is later to be found witnessing a charter of Hubert's son, John de Burgh, but in 1232 there is nothing to suggest that Hubert and Thwing were in any way close associates. Thwing himself was sent by the king for absolution in Rome. In 1239 he made a second visit to Rome, carrying with him a general letter of complaint from the English barons. Perhaps through the influence of Richard, earl of Cornwall, to whose household Thwing had attached himself, he obtained letters from Pope Gregory IX (r. 1227-41) protecting the rights of lay patrons against papal provision. Early in the following year Thwing set out with Earl Richard on crusade. In September 1240, from Marseilles, he was sent as an envoy to the emperor, Frederick II (r. 1212-50), with information about the pope's attempts to delay the crusade. As a result, he may never have reached the Holy Land. In 1244 he was accused of making a violent attack upon a clerk of the archbishop of York in the king's hall at Windsor. His lands were seized, but restored the following year.

Robert married Maud de Kilton before Jan 1229. Maud (daughter of Roger de Kilton) was born in of Kilton Castle, Cleveland, Yorkshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Was a surety in 1199 for Richard Malebysse, who had led an attack on Jews sheltering in York castle." [Complete Peerage]

"Marmaduke was imprisoned for homicide in 1204, although the exact details of the crime are unclear. In the same year Marmaduke paid 100s. to be placed in the custody of twelve lawful men and his sureties, including Peter de Brus, paid a fine of 40 marks and pledged themselves to prevent him from causing further disorder. Marmaduke was evidently released shortly afterwards and he served as a juror in 1208. He joined the baronial opposition to the crown during the civil war after 1215, but in 1217 he made peace with the minority government of Henry III and thereafter he appears to have been active as a royal official in northern England."
