Robert Baldock (or de Baldock; died 28 May 1327)[1] was the Lord Privy Seal and Lord Chancellor of England, during the reign of King Edward II of England.
Baldock was archdeacon of Middlesex when he was named Controller of the Wardrobe and Lord Privy Seal on 27 January 1320[2] and then Prebend of Aylesbury in August 1320.
[4] Baldock was elected Bishop of Norwich on 23 July 1325,[5] but before consecration resigned the office on 3 September 1325 to avoid a collision between the pope and the King.
[6] In October 1326, Baldock was one of the small number of supporters who fled London with King Edward when Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer invaded.
[8] A mob broke into the house, severely beat him, and threw him into Newgate Prison, where he was murdered by some of the inmates.
