     Robert fitz Gilbert de Corbeil de was born after 1077 in Northumberland, England. He was the son of Robert fitz Gilbert de Corbeil. Robert married Ormunda de Lumley, daughter of Osbert de Lumley de Stafford, circa 1100 in Staffordshire, England. Robert’s father, Gilbert de Corbeil made arrangements with Robert de Stafford for the Manor of Peshale as a feoffment for a fee one knight’s service, his son Robert to fulfill the feoffment. This agreement was confirmed by a deed that has an erroneous date of 27 December 1068, between Robert de Stafford and Robert. It is very likely that the date should have been 1098 as it is known that Robert did migrate to Staffordshire around 1100 and took up his residence at the Manor of Peshale at that time. He was a soldier and spent much of his time fighting for his overlord against the Welsh. He married after his arrival in Staffordshire, into one of the families who had formed the colony of immigrants from Northumberland & settled near Stone Priory. He was the first of this line to take on the surname "Peshale" from that of his manor.3 A deed was signed by Robert & Ormunda that granted their land in Lumley to their son, John.4
