Web Notes notes for Robert DE CONTEVILLE Count Of Mortain
From "Debrett's Kings and Queens of Britain" by David Williamson, ISBN 0-86350-101-X, p. 43:
One of the staunchest supporters of his elder half-brother, William the Conqueror.
Robert, count of Mortain, later one of the largest landowners in eleventh-century England.
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (121:26), (185:1). Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Cornwall, pp.427-428). Count of Mortain in Normandy. He was in command of the chivalry of the Coetenin at the battle of Hastings. THE CONQUERER made him lord of almost the entire county of Cornwall, causing him to be later referred to as Earl of Cornwall. Robert actually never used the title and was usually referred to as Count of Mortain. In 1069 he, with ROBERT, COUNT OF EU, defeated the Danes in the parts of Lindsey with great slaughter. He joined his brother, Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux and Earl of Kent, in 1088, in a rebellion against King William II in favor of Robert Curthose, but was subsequently pardoned.
