Who died first, Robert Foliot or Robert de Chesney?
Robert de Chesney Robert de Chesney (died December 1166) was a medieval English Bishop of Lincoln. He was the brother of an important royal official, William de Chesney, and the uncle of Gilbert Foliot, successively Bishop of Hereford and Bishop of London. Educated at Oxford or Paris, Chesney was Archdeacon of Leicester before his election as bishop in December 1148.
Robert Tyrwhitt (MP died 1581) Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby (c. 1510 – 16 November 1581) was an English Member of Parliament and Sheriff. He was born the son of Sir William Tyrwhitt of Kettleby (or Kettelby), Knight Sheriff of Lincoln, and his wife, Isabel Girlington. He succeeded his grandfather in 1548 and was knighted by 1553. He was mentored at court by his uncle Sir Robert Tyrwhitt, with whom he has sometimes been conflated by historians and genealogists, largely because both men married women named Elizabeth Oxenbridge. Robert, the nephew, raised and led 250 of his tenantry with the army sent against the rebel earls in 1569.
