Robert married secondly, about September 19, 1295[14] Maud, daughter of John FitzAlan of Clun & Oswestry, and Arundel, Robert being her second husband: they had no issue, and a divorce was granted about 1301, presumably on grounds of consanguinity.[15]

In 1302 Robert married his third wife, Elisabeth, daughter of Sir Richard de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, Knt.,[16] by his wife Margaret, daughter of John de Burgh, Baron of Lanvalley in Ireland.
