Robert Harling (knight)

Sir Robert Harling (died 9 September 1435) was an English early member of the landed gentry, a soldier, and political strongman.

He died on the feast of Gregory, fighting under John, Duke of Bedford, during the Hundred Years' War.

He is buried in the East Harling Church, of which his coat of arms is a main feature.

He wrote: "His [Harling's] body was afterwards cut up and boiled in a cauldron at the St. Nicholas cemetery until the flesh came off the bones.

"[1] His daughter, Anne, married William Chamberlain (d. 1462), a soldier, and later Sir Robert Wingfield (Member of Parliament for Herts, comptroller of the House of Edward IV).
