Robert of Aumale

was one of the Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror (1066–1087).

His lands, comprising 17 entries in the Domesday Book of 1086, later formed part of the very large Feudal barony of Plympton,[4] whose later barons were the Courtenay family, Earls of Devon.

He was lord of Aumale in Normandy, now in the département of Seine-Maritime, France.

[5] Various junior branches of the Damarell family split off to establish separate families, most notably at Milton Damarell; at Damarell in the parish of North Huish; at Woodbury and at Aveton Giffard.

[6] Sir William Pole (d.1635) wrote that in his time "Theire is remayning on of this name, of meane quality".
