Who died first, Robert Foliot or Robert de Chesney?
Robert Foliot Robert Foliot (died 1186) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford in England. He was a relative of a number of English ecclesiastics, including Gilbert Foliot, one of his predecessors at Hereford. After serving Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln as a clerk, he became a clerk of Henry of Blois, the Bishop of Winchester and brother of King Stephen of England. He attended the Council of Reims in 1148, where another relative, Robert de Chesney, was elected as Bishop of Hereford. Chesney then secured the office of Archdeacon of Oxford for Foliot.
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.
