Stapleton, who worked out the descent, held that Roger's son Robert, who had succeeded by 1130, and who was slain in 1143, was father of the Robert who died in 1218. I would rather interpolate another Robert between the two: Roger Marmion, of the Lindsey Survey | | Robert = Millicent Marmion, | in possession 1130, | slain 1143 | |____________________________| | [Robert Marmion], living 1155 | | Maud = Robert = Philippa de Beauchamp, | Marmion | living 1181 | d. 1218 | (Stapleton) | | | | ___________| |________________ | | | Robert Robert William Marmion, Marmion, Marmion, 'senior,' junior clerk d. _circ._ 1242 |________________ | Philip Marmion, died _circ._ 1292, last of his line The pedigree really turns on the charter of Henry III in 1249, to Philip Marmion, confirming the royal charters to his ancestor. Mr Stapleton declares that Henry inspected and confirmed The charter which King Henry, his great-great-grandfather, had made to Robert Marmyon, great-grandfather of Philip Marmyon, of having warren in all his land in the county of Warwick, and especially at Tamworth; and likewise of the charter of King Henry, his uncle ['Avunculus noster' is the reading transcribed on the rolls, obviously in error of 'atavus noster'], which he had made to the said Robert of having warren in all his land of Lindesay (_Rot. Scacc. Norm._, II. cvi.). This abstract is strangely inaccurate, considering that Stapleton had, clearly, examined the Inspeximus[24] for himself. Henry VI inspected and confirmed: (1) The charter of Henry I, granting Robert Marmion freewarren in Warwickshire (specially at Tamworth) as his father had. (2) The charter of Henry II (confirming the above charter), 'T. Tom. Canc. apud Brugiam', and therefore granted in 1155. (3) The charter of Henry III, who had inspected-- (_a_) 'Cartam quam Henr' rex avus [_sic_] noster [_i.e._ Henry II] fecit Roberto Marmyon proavo Philippi Marmyun'; (_b_) 'Cartam Henrici regis avunculi nostri quam fecit Roberto'; and confirmed them as the charters, 'H. Regis avi nostri et H. regis avunculi nostri', to Philip Marmion.
