"In January, 1618, he was knighted at Theobalds by James I; the monarch who, whilst hunting on one occasion in Pewsham Forest, is said to have been challenged by Sir Robert for a deer which he happened to kill within a certain distance from the river Avon, the latter alleging a royal grant from Edward III to his ancestor ..." "James I appears to have been in this neighbourhood in 1616, 1618, 1621, and 1624. Pewsham was soon afterwards disafforested." "Theobalds" presumably refers to Theobald's Green, to the north-west of the hamlet of Calstone. [S151] Wiltshire Notes and Queries, (Devizes and London, 1893–1913), volume III (1902), page 170.
