Robert senior seems to have been a man of importance, being in 1399 appointed 'Master of the Kings Horses and Armour'. He was a confidant of Henry IV and described in 1404 as the Kings Esquire, he also became Master of the Kings Hounds.
Cecily was heiress to the Woodhall estate in Stanley nearby,
Their grandson Robert having died without issue in 1476 the estate was split between the 4 daughters of his sister Cecelia
