!2nd source gives born 1135. Notes onthe History of Shepton Mallet,page 220,states"that not long ago in the chest of Shepton Mallet Church a letter from Robert Malet written in about 1150,in which he petitions the pope on behalf of himself and th e inhabitants that a cementery may be added to the church,for that the corpses were lost and frequently those who carried them in going to Glastonbury,the place of burial,in bogs and quagmires"
Beyond this date I find no record of him,Supposing therefore that he was 21 years at the accession of Henry I,and this would be probable,as his father Gilbert must have been about 50 years old at that time,he must have been about
71 years old in 1150,the date of his petition to the Pope. He was succeeded by his son William.
