4. Robert De Bruges (son of Lambert I (Count of Brabant & Louvain) Brabant and Gerberge De Lorraine); died after 1051. Notes:
"Could Robert de Bruges, as a younger son of the powerful Count ofLouvain, have accepted the post of Castellan from the Count of Flanders?Most certainly, yes! The Count of Flanders was then, de facto, probablythe most powerful sovereign in northwest Europe. Bruges was strategicallyof huge importance. It would be a very attractive offer, especially to alandless younger son, and it could be expected to lead on to furtheropportunities (such as the offer to accompany the Count's daughter toNormandy, when she left to marry Duke William, the eventual Conqueror ofEngland, an offer that would entail a grant of land in the Cotentin"
From Baronage at http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-03/bruce-05.html
"Robert de Bruges (Castellan of Bruges 1046, emigrated to Normandy 1051)
This connection (showing that this Robert may have been a younger son ofLambert I, Count of Louvain) has been suggested by 'Baronage' (seewww.baronage.co.uk) after consideration of heraldic and other clues
