Robert de la Mare1
M, d. 1193
| Father | Richard de la Mare |
Robert de la was born. Robert married Aliza (?). Robert's wife, Aliza, died between 1174 and 1190, leaving him a widower.2 Robert joined the third crusade leaving England either in 1188, or more likely with King Richard in 1190. After the failures in the Holy Land, Richard, his queen and many of his knights left Palestine aboard ship and retreated arriving at Sicily where some chose to take the overland route home. Robert is one that chose to do so. Robert died in 1193 in Benevento, Italy, where he fell mortally ill. He wrote a will while on his death bed giving grants to Haughmond Abbey where he was to be buried with his wife. It is presumed that Sir Alan de la Mare, his cousin, who carried the document back to England, saw that his wishes were granted.
