=== Bio ===
Robert Maxwell is the son of John Maxwell.[1] Robert was the Knight of Calderwood. He died in 1363 and was succeeded by his son John. Burke mentions Robert is the eldest son of John without mentioned other sons and Fraser mentions no other sons. Burke is assumed to be in error implying others sons. [

=== Sir Robert Maxwell, Knight, second of Po ===
Sir Robert Maxwell, Knight, second of Pollok, 1306-1330, who obtained from King Robert the Bruce a charter of the lands of Lyoncroce or Lyandcross. The charter has not been preserved; but it is described in an old writ at Pollok as follows: -Ane chartour grantit be King Robert the Bruce to Sir Robert Maxwell of Pollock, Knycht, off the lands of Lyandcroce, daittit the tent zeir of his reigne. These lands are in the parish of Neilston, and county of Renfrew. The greater portion of them now belongs to Sir Hewe Crawford Pollok of Pollok, and are held of the Earl of Eglinton and Winton, who is the superior, as Lord of erection of the temporal lordship of Kilwinning. These lands bear the name of Maxwell's Lyoncroce, to distinguish them from the Upper and Nether Lyoncroces. [Memoirs of the Maxwells of Pollok I:10]
