Lewis Robessart

[2] Thierry was engaged in the service of King Edward III of England,[3] and later married a cousin of Constance of Castile; he is mentioned in the chronicles of Jean Froissart.

He passed on the tradition of service to the English royal family to his son Jean (Lewis's father), who served both Richard II and Henry IV.

[2] For his service, the king later granted him the manor of Postedhalle in Norfolk, one of the properties forfeited by the disgraced Sir John Oldcastle.

[9] Lewis was killed in France in 1430, while fighting against the French at Conty, a year after attending the coronation of King Henry VI, at Reims.

His tomb, at the Chapel of St Paul in Westminster Abbey, was one of the first to display symbols of the Order of the Garter.
