Appleby and Burgh, with the whole bailiwick of Westmoreland during pleasure, and in 1203 by another grant gave him the above to hold to him and his heirs by his then wife, thus passing over to him the barony of Westmoreland or Appleby. He further gave him the castles of Bowes and Richmond, Yorkshire, and sold to him for a hundred marks the custody of the heirs, land, and widow of Hugh Gernegan, remitting to him a debt of the same amount. In that year he was also Bailiff of Caen and the Rumois, and the King by a writ addressed to John Marshal ordered that he should have the Lordship of Vieuxpont beforetime held by Robert, his uncle, then deceased.

He took part in the war against the Welsh, and in 1212 caused the young Rhys ap Maelgon to be hanged at Shrewsbury. In 1213 he received livery of all the lands of his late father-in-law, John de Builli or Buisli (died 1212), Lord of the Honour of Tickhill, and gave the King four palfreys that he might have a fair at his Lordship of Bawtry in the West Riding during four days in Whitsun week.

William, Robert's father, was the brother of another Robert, Lord of Courville and Chailloué, near Vieuxpont, and perhaps the Robert de Vieuxpont who in 1168 held eight knights' fees of the Honour of Totnes, Devon. Dugdale makes this Robert the same with the Robert who died in 1228, which seems unlikely.
