Robert I (about 1034-1072 ) is a baron of Vitré from 1050 to his death. He could also be lord of Marcillé, having received this fief of his uncle Robert de Marcillé, deceased without descendants. Marcillé -Robert's name could thus come from the name of the latter as well as from that of Baron de Vitré.
Biography
Robert "princeps and dom" of Vitré, is the son of Baron Tristan de Vitré and his wife, Innoguen de Fougères. It was under his impulse that the first stone castle of the city was built, overlooking the Vilaine with its rocky outcrop. He founded, in fact, around 1070, the Sainte-Croix priory instead of the primitive castle of the first lords, as evidenced by certain charters. The Romanesque porch of the fortress of Robert Ier still exists today. Arthur de La Borderie notes that, in all likelihood, the beginnings of the city of Vitré and the foundation of the parish of Saint-Pierre (todayNotre-Dame ) date from the same period.
Earlier, in 1066 , Robert fought under the orders of William the Conqueror, including participating in the Battle of Hastings on 14 October.
Union and posterity
He marries around 1051 Berthe de Craon, daughter of Garin lord of Craon. They gave birth to Ennoguen de Craon,
Second wife André 5, Robert died around 1106 and Philippe.
