In 1217 both returned to fealty to Henry III, and their lands were restored. His wife, Isabel, acquired two messuages from John Testard, and 7s. 8d. in quitrents from John son of Edward the reeve, in order to grant them to maintain the lights on the altar of St Mary in Westminster Abbey. In 1220 he sued Waleran, on of Waleran Earl of Warwick, for a debt of 200 marks; Waleran pledged the manor of Weston, Gloucestershire to him. ROBERT MAUDUIT died shortly before 22 June 1222.
