ROBERT DE ROOS, Knt., of Wark, Northumberland and Samquhar in Nithsdale, Scotland, younger son. He married an unidentified wife, _____. They had two sons, William and Robert, and two daughters, Isabel and Ida (wife of Roger Bertram, Robert de Neville, Knt., and John Fitz Marmaduke, Knt.). He fought in France in 1230, was Justice of the King's Bench in 1234 and went on circuit in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Northumberland. He was Chief Justice of the Forests of Nottinghamshire, Derby, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Northumberland, and Cumberland on 27 Nov. 1236. He had a grant for free-warren in Wark, Carham, Presson, Mindrum, Downham, Moneylands and Learmouth, Northumberland, 28 Dec. 1251. He lent his Castle of Wark to the King from 28 August 1255 till 12 May 1256. In 1255, with John de Balliol, he was appointed Guardian of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, but was accused of unfaithfulness in that trust. He was summoned to appear at the English Court, and eventually submitted, whereupon his lands were seised by the King. On subsequent investigation, he was found to be not guilty, and Wark Castle was restored to him and his older brother, William, 7 Nov. 1259. In 1266 he conveyed the reversion of the manor of Wark, Northumberland to his younger son, Robertd de Roos. SIR ROBERT DE ROOS was living in 1267, but died shortly before Nov. 1269. 2
