Who was

ROBERT FITZROY ,

1st Earl of Gloucester's mother?

She is legally unknown.

She is said to be either Nest Princess of Deheubarth or the daughter of Rainald Gay of Hampton Gay or possible Sibyl Corbet, Lady of Alcester.

What is know is that he is the eldest offspring of Henry I, that being so it is unlikely his mother was Sibyl, as she was his 5th mistress. Whereas, Roberts mother must have been his first 'concubine, as Robert was born before Henry became king and the mother was his first sexual encounter.Princess Nest was around at this time in the royal court being held hostage by Henry's brother William Rufus, King of England at the time. William is the 3rd son of William The Conqueror and Henry is the 5th son. Date wise, Robert is said to be born before 1100, Nest was the royal hostage from 1093 and Henry would have been 25 years old having been born in 1068. All these factors and that we can know nothing much about 'the daughter of Rainald Gay', points to quite possibly Nest being Roberts mother, although not acknowledge by her, but for that to be so,they would have had to carried on their sexual relationship after she was released from being a hostage. oOn the other hand, Roberts mother quite possibly could have been from a brief encounter with the 'miss Gay, in around the year 1199?
