=== Life Sketch ===
"Confirmation in free arms by Robert Aguilan with the consent of Margaret his wife to Sibton of the grant by William de Fraxineto father of Margaret" (before 1239). (Ref: Sibton Abbey cartularies and charters, Part 2 By Philippa Brown)
28 Apr 1230 - "Order to the barons of the Exchequer to place in respite the demand they make by summons of the Exchequer from Robert Aguillon on behalf of the son and heir of John de Rocheford, who is in his custody, for the prest made to John in Ireland in the time of King John etc., for as long as Robert will be in overseas parts with H. de Burgh etc." (Ref: Henry III Fine Rolls, 14/322)
15 Nov 1232 - "Robert Aguillon has made fine with the king by 100 m. for having custody of the land and heirs of Guy de Rocheford until the legal age of the aforesaid heirs, together with the marriage of the same heirs. Order to P. de Rivallis that, having accepted security from him for rendering the aforesaid 100 m. at two terms, namely a moiety at Easter in the seventeenth year and the other moiety at Michaelmas in the same year, he is to cause Robert to have full seisin of that custody with appurtenances, as aforesaid.

Order to the sheriff of Norfolk not to cause any impediment or harm to him, or permit any to be brought against him, by reason of the general summons made for the crossing to overseas parts, saving his scutage to the king." (Ref: Henry III Fine Rolls, 26/240)

Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com, in a post-em, states:
ROBERT, [the original, and possibly only Robert--existence of a 2nd Robert (as father) is speculative at this time]], son and heir. [details of his career from 1203 to 1232 are given. Paget says this is the elder Robert, but as I said before, I
wonder whether there may really be two Roberts in succession here.] Ref: Chris Phillips 6 Oct 2001] Research note: there is question as to the accuracy of Paget's Peerage - until corroborating sources confirm the above, I leave Robert as the
1st of the line... Curt
---------------------------------------------
following is the argument for a 2 Robert theory, of which this Robert is the younger, put forth by Chris Phillips (which I have followed):
Paget gives further details of the "elder" Robert's career, from 1203 to 1227, and says he married Agatha, dau and coheir of Fulk Beaufoy [citing Blomefield's History of Norfolk], and says he had 4 daughters by her (repeating some of the errors
about the daughters). He adds that Robert married secondly Alice, widow of John de Wahull (d.1217) [citing Bracton's Notebook, no 1182] and daughter of William de Munchensi, and that Robert was still living 1232.
Having said that, we know that the mother of the "elder" Robert's 4 daughters was not in fact Agatha de Beaufo, but Margery, daughter of William de Fresney. Also that at least two of these daughters gave birth to their heirs around 1240. And
that C.J. Phillips in his History of the Sackville Family makes Agatha de Beaufo the mother of Robert, not his wife.
So could it be that there are two Roberts here - the first who was active by 1203 and married Agatha de Beaufo, and the second who married Margery de Fresney and died around 1249 leaving 4 daughters and a widow Alice "de Merley/Marley"? Perhaps
this Alice is the same one mentioned above, in any case. [Ref: Chris Phillips, message to soc.genealogy.medieval, 24 Sep 2001]

Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com, in a post-em, states:
Paget's Baronage makes Robert (d. by c.1249) the son and heir of Richard, 3rd son of Manasser, 2nd son of Manasser (living 1156). (I suspected that there might be two Roberts in succession instead.) [Ref: Chris Phillips, message to soc.genealogy.medieval, 19 Jun 2002]
Paget says that the younger Robert's father was a second cousin of the elder Robert, but perhaps this is slightly wrong… The common ancestor is said to be Manasser Aguillon, living 1156, who had a son and heir William… William had a grandson William (… I didn't note the intervening generation), who died shortly before 3 Oct 1244, when his son Robert did homage and had livery [citing Rot. Fin. 28 Henry III, m.2]. This Robert was the younger of the Roberts… says Paget.
Going back to Manasser, Paget says he had a second son Manasser, living 1172, and that the younger Manasser had a third son Richard, who married Ela de Frivill or Freville, by whom he had a son Robert. Richard and Robert appear as witnesses in 1201 [citing Cal. Docs. France i no 1403]. Paget says that this son Robert was the elder one…
Paget gives further details of the "elder" Robert's career, from 1203 to 1227, and says he married Agatha, dau and coheir of Fulk Beaufoy [citing Blomefield's History of Norfolk], and says he had 4 daughters by her (repeating some of the errors about the daughters…). He adds that Robert married secondly Alice, widow of John de Wahull (d.1217) [citing Bracton's Notebook, no 1182] and daughter of William de Munchensi, and that Robert was still living 1232.

=== This generation of Robert Aguillon is no ===
This generation of Robert Aguillon is not sourced. I am making the assumption based on the date of birth of Robert Aguillon m. Joan de Ferrers .vs. the age of his parents (without this generation of Robert in between). Plus the Margery de Aguillon who m. Jordan Sackville is apparently not the same as the Margery de Aguillon who m. Giles de Argentein, because they were both married to different husbands at about the same time. The Margery who m. Jordan Sackville is not a daughter of Robert Aguillon who m. Joan Ferrers because his only daughter and heir was Isabel, who m. Hugh Bardol
