Cutter calls him Robert: http://books.google.com/books?id=_c4UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA645
Tradition says Robert took part in the Crusades under Richard Coeur de Lion and was with him in Sicily in 1190 when he took Messina, an infamous battle, also in 1191 at the Conquest of the island of Cyprus, where some of the English forces had been wrecked and barbarously treated. It was here Richard rescued his sister and future wife. Robert assisted at the Siege of Acre in Palestine and in the victory over Saladin.
