2. ROBERT de Beauchamp (-before 1210). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hubertus de Burgo" holding 17 knights’ fees "cum hærede R. de Bello Campo" in Dorset, Somerset in [1210/12][1136]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Hubertus de Burgo" held "Stok de domino rege cum herede Roberti de Bello Campo per servicium ii militum de feodo Moretonie…hundredum de Tinterell" in Somerset[1137]. It is assumed that these entries refers to Hubert de Burgh, future Earl of Kent. As Hubert at that date still appears to have been married to Beatrice de Warenne, it is assumed that he was holding these knights’ fees by virtue of the right to arrange the marriage of the heiress, not that he was married to her himself. Another problem is identifying the "R. de Beauchamp" to whom the entry refers, especially as Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset is recorded with male issue (see below). [m EMMA, daughter of --- (-after 1210). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Emma de Bello Campo" one third part of one knight’s fee from "honor de Kincestone" in Dorset, Somerset in [1210/12][1138]. The identity of Emma has not been ascertained. However, it is possible that she was the widow of "R. de Beauchamp"who is recorded in Dorset, Somerset (see above).] Robert & his wife had one child:

Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] de Beauchamp (d. 1251)" (no corresponding primary source cited)[1139]. m SIMON de Vautort, son of --- (-1199).

Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] deBeauchamp (d. 1251)" (no corresponding primary source cited)[1141].
