Other notes: A Robert le Waleys was Sheriff of York from 1204 to 1209. The Langbargh charter issued by Peter de Brus between 1207 and Michaelmas 1209 makes mention of this Robert, as "Robert Walensis [Roberto Walense, tunc Vicecomite Ebor.], then sheriff of Yorkshire." One wonders if this was Robert le Waleys, seneschal of Pontefract Castle, listed above.
