Robert**, an English historian, of whom little more is known than that he was keeper of the regitery of the court of Canterbury in the reign of Edward III. and consequently that he lived in the 14th century. He wrote, *Memoriale seu magnifici regis Angliae domini Eduardi tertii poët conquecum, procerumque; taehis primitius quibusdam gestis de tempore patriæ sui domini Eduardi secundi, qua in regnis Anglie, Scotiae, et Franciae, ac in Aquitania et Britannia, non humana sed Dei potentia, contiguerunt, per Robertum de Aveshury*. This history ends with the battle of Poictiers, about the year 1356. It continued in manuscript till the year 1720, when it was printed by the industrious Thomas Hearne at Oxford, from a manuscript belonging to Sir Thomas Seabright. It is now become very scarce.
