  BE1883 (Hilton of Hilton) appears to confuse this Robert de Hilton with Robert de Hilton of Swine (see below) by reporting that he was the one who married Marmaduke de Thweng. TCP (Thweng) reports that this had been suggested by Dugdale, wrongly.

  The following is supported by VCH (Yorkshire, East Riding volume 7, Swine) though, other than to note that Sir William's widow Maud m2. Sir Robert de Tilliol, VCH does not name any of the wives. Sir William's wife is identified by TCP (Lascelles) as ...

  a. Sir Robert de Hilton or Hylton of Swine (d c1351)
  (1) Having reference to the dates, it is presumed that this was the Robert (rather than his son) who married Margaret Thweng, sister of Thomas, 4th Lord. TCP (Thweng) identifies Thomas's coheirs as including Margaret's daughter Isabel and John, son of Isabel's sister Maud. There is no mention of Sir Robert Hilton so it is presumed that Sir Robert was not Margaret's son.
  (2) Robert, husband of Margaret Thweng, is sometimes described as though he was a Lord but this appears to have resulted from confusion with either his grandfather or his cousin (above).

  === Baron Hylton ===
  Baron Hylton is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation came in the Peerage of England 1295 when Robert Hylton was summoned to the Model Parliament as Lord Hylton by writ. His son, Alexander, was called to Parliament in 1332 and 1335, but no further summons were sent for his descendants. Therefore, the title has only been held de jure after the death of the second baron.[1] Indeed, the last baron was Member of Parliament for Carlisle after "inheriting" the title, due to this anomaly. Despite this, the creation is deemed to have fallen into abeyance on the death of the eighteenth baron with male heirs in 1746.

Sent to Suzanne Siders by Nancy Morebeck, 409 Dennis Drive, Vacaville, CA 95688; (707)448-3230; March 1989. Robert de Hilton, of Hilton, Knight. He was under age in 1243, but must have been of age by 1252 when he released to Sir John de Vesci a right in certain lands of the Tison inheritance which his father Alexander had claimed against John's father, Sir William de Vesci. These lands were at Shilbottle, Guyzance and Rennington in Northumberland county, held as two knights fees of the barony of Vesci. Robert obtained a charter of free warren in his demesne lands in Shilbottle, Rennington, Hilton, Swine and Winestead on 2 Dec. 1256. In the civil war of 1264, when the barons united under Simon de Montford against Henry III, Robert, with his feudal lord, John de Vesci, joioned the barons' cause, fought at Lewes, and when Vesci regained his castle of Alnmwick in 1266 Robert was with him. Because of his stand against the king his lands were taken from him and gien to Robert de Brus the younger, who in Sept. 1268 released them to Robert de HIlton for one thousand marks. Robert de Hilton was finally pardoned 25 Mar 1271 and admitted to the king's peace. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 26 Aug. 1296, by writs directed to Roberto de Hilton, whereby he is said to have become Lord Hilton. In 1296/7 he was summoned to attend the King at Salisbury, as well as being summoned for military service against the Scots from 1296 to 1303. In 1296 he was one of the "barons" who witnessed three Scottish bishops take the oath of fealty to King Edward I.
