Robert of Bounalbergo (died 1121), son of Gerard (Girard) of Buanalbergo (d. 1086) and his wife whose name is unknown.
Girard was the nephew of Alberada of Buonalbergo, who married Robert Guiscard[1] and was mother to Bohemond I of Antioch.
Robert took the Cross and joined the First Crusade[2] under Hugh the Great, Count of Vermandois, youngest son of Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev.
Richard, Count of Acerra, is identified as a grandson of Gerard and so was either Robert’s son or nephew.
