Text: Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex, 1391-1392 and 1400-1401; Knight of the Shire for Surrey, 1394, 1395, 1397, 1417, Justice of the Peace for Surrey, 1394-1413, 1417-1431 and Sussex, 1397, 1400-1403. By his 2 wives he had more than 17 children, through only 3 survived him.
Presumably died before July 1398 by which time her husband had remarried. Heiress of the manor of Delamers, Hertfordshire.
Constable of Norham. He obtained a grant of land in Berrington ,Northumberland, in 1329, and petitioned the King for Learmouth on account of his own and his father's service in the Scottish wars in 1331. A couious letter of 1333 from the Bishop of Durham to the council, referring to his jurisdiction over Norham, mentions Manners as constable, and seems to mark an earlier date than 1345, which is usually assigned to his appointment. Manners was a rougn border soldier. He was ordered to give up two hostages whom he illigally detained in 1333. In 1340 he was M. P. for Northumberland, and in 1341 he aided Lord Grey of Werk in stopping a raid of the Earl of Sutherland. In 1342 he was allowed to embattle Etal in Northumberland, and thus founded the influence of his family in that district. Etal Castle started out as a three-storey tower house, but its location near the border with Scotland made it vulnerable to attack. In 1341, the owner, Robert Manners, was granted a licence to fortify his home. He created a roughly square courtyard enclosed by curtains walls, with the tower house in one corner and a large gatehouse diagonally opposite and a tower at each of the other corners. The tower house was improved with the addition of another storey and crenellations. A Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded at Etal in 1345 by Sir Robert Manners. This chapel was situated on the bank of the River Till some quarter-mile downstream of the village. He arranged the truce with David Bruce the same year, and when the Scots invaded England, in alliance with the French, in 1346, he took part in the battle of Neville's Cross. He seemes to have died in 1355, as in that year the custody of Etal was given to the Lethams, who were afterwares, in the interest of the heir, accused of wasting it.. The pedigree is differently stated, possibily because of the two seats of the family, but it is certain that his heir was John Manners, who was born 1355. Possibly John was a grandson of Sir Robert.
