[1] Sir Robert Hildyard died on 21 May 1501.[2] Burial for Sir Robert Hildyard is believed to have been in the Hildyard family parish church of St. German, Winestead in Holderness, East Riding, Yorkshire.

Headed an insurrection in the north (9th year of Edward IV) made in favour of the Lancastrians, to the number of 20,000 men, who, meeting the Earl of Pembroke at the head of 18,000 Welshmen, at a place called Danes-More, near Edgecote, in Banbury in Northants entirely deserted them, with the slaughter of 5,000 men ............................................................................................................. Pedigree Hildyard of Patrington page 31:- It is said that he was commonly called Robin, of Riddesdale. (Other authors have him not sio) About the ninth year of Edw; IV; he, together with Sir John Conyers, and others, headed an insurrection in the north, made in favour of the Lancastrians, to the number of twenty thousand men, who, meeting the earl of Pembroke at the head of eighteen thousand. Welshmen, at a place called Danes-More, near Edgecote, (three miles from Banbury) in Northamptonshire, entirely de¬feated them, with the (laughter of five thousand men, taking the said earl and his brother, Richard, prisoners, who, being carried to Northampton, were there, (together with Richard Woodvile, earl of Rivers, father of King Edward’s Queen, and John, his son) beheaded, by the command of George duke of Clarence, and Nevile, earl of Warwick, who, both of them, not long before, had revoked from King Edward to the Lancastrians. But after the establishment of the house of York, it seems that he adhered firmly to that family; since we find him employed to conduct five thousand men out of the north, to support the coronation of Richard III. at which coronation he received the honour of knighthood.

(and Anne, his wife, daughter of William, Lord Morley) by whom he had a numerous progeny ; whereof Anthony, the youngest son, was a Knight of Rhodes Family He married Elizabeth Hastings, daughter of John Hastings, Esq., Lord Hastings, Sheriff of Norwich, Constable of Norwich Castle & gaol and Anne Morley, before 8 April 1459; They had 14 sons (Peter, Esq; Robert; Thomas; John; William; Adam; Edward; Hugh; Ralph; Henry; Richard; Stephen; George; & Anthony) and 6 daughters (Muriel, wife of (Mr.) Philpot; Denise, wife of Charles Barneby; Anne; Agnes; Katherine, wife of John Haldenby, & of William Girlington; & Margery, wife of Sir William Ayscough).[3] Note about the children of Robert Hildyard: Various media name as many as twenty children for Robert Hildyard and Elizabeth Hastings, with Richardson's Royal Ancestry on page 638 naming fourteen sons and six daughters, although Royal Ancestry only defines in detail one son, Peter, and one daughter, Katherine.
