Marriage and children

Walter Fitz Robert was married twice. Sources conflict as to which of the two wives was the first wife. He and Maud de Lucy, daughter of Richard de Luci, had the following children:
When Robert, and his co-conspirators, fled after being implicated in the 1212 plot against King John, John required that the barons present hostages to show their loyalty. Alice and Gilbert Peche had the same requirement placed against them; one of the hostages was their daughter, Alice.
