Robert de Littlebury (died 1305) was an English judge whose last years were spent in Ireland.
[1] He shared in the general downfall of senior English judges in 1290, but was pardoned soon afterwards.
[1] Foss says that nothing is known of his origins,[2] but Ball states that he was a close relative of Martin of Littlebury (died 1274), the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
[1] In 1290 King Edward I instituted a purge of most of his senior judges, notably Ralph de Hengham, mostly on the grounds of corruption,[3] although in several cases their guilt or innocence is a matter of dispute.
[3] Robert suffered the same disgrace as the rest of the judiciary, although the precise nature of his offence is unknown,[2] and was fined 1000 marks.
