Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron de Welles, Constable of Pendragon Castle was the son of Adam de Welles, 1st Lord of Welles (1249–1311) and Joan d'Engayne (1265–1315).[1][2][3] He married Maud de Clare, daughter of Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond (1245–1287) in 1315 without royal licence.[1][2][3] It is said that he did, in fact, have a daughter by Maud de Clare, but historical evidence remains elusive. The Barony de Welles passed to his brother, Adam de Welles, 3rd Baron Welles (1304–1345) on his death.[1][2][3] He is buried at Greenfield Priory, Greenfield, East Lindsey District, Lincolnshire, England.[4]
