m. 1. Joan ______ ( m.1. Sir Ralph Bracebrugge of Kingsbury, Warwick (d. Aug. 1395), d.c.1400)
2. before 19 Aug. 1401 ELIZABETH FITZALAN (b.c. 1374, m.1. Sir William Montague (killed in a tournament 1382 Windsor), 2. July 1384 Thomas de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk (d. 22 Sept. 1399 Venice), 4. before 18 Apr. 1411 Sir Gerald Usflete of Yorkshire(d. by Feb. 1420/1), d. 8 July 1425 Hoveringham)
d. Battle of Shrewsbury, 21 July 1403
In 1390 Robert received the the king's pardon for being an outlaw. This was obtained through the efforts of Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham (and later Duke of Norfolk). From this it appears that Robert was already associated with Mowbray for whom he was employed and after his death in 1399 Robert married his widow Elizabeth. Robert served as Mowbray's attorney and esquire. When Thomas became a duke in 1397 he gave Robert a ¹20 annuity for life from his manor of Willington which was confirmed by Henry IV in Nov. 1399. In 1298 Thomas was banished by Richard II and Robert was appointed one of his attorneys. At Edward IV's coronation on 13 Oct. 1399 Robert made a plea for the return of the banished Duke not knowing that he had already died of the plague in Venice in Sept.
In 1397 Richard II appointed Robert and Sir William Bagot to seize the goods of Thomas, late earl of Warwick as Robert was sheriff of Warwickshire at this time.
On 23 Feb. 1400 Henry IV granted to his kinswoman, Elizabeth, late wife of the Duke of Norfolk, the remaining goods of the late Duke as well as clearing the debts he had owed to Richard II. Robert also sharted in this division of the Duke's estate. Robert married Elizabeth, however, on 19 Aug. 1401 Henry IV seized her lands as she had married Robert without a license. On 28 Sept. the king pardoned Robert and Elizabeth for this infraction.
Robert was knighted by King Henry IV at the battle of Shrewsbury on July 21, 1403 at which the loyalist forces of the king were opposed by the rebel army of Henry Percy "Hotspur". The army of King Henry IV won the day and killed Hotspur. Casulties on both sides were high with about 3000 killed or wounded on each side. Robert was knighted the day of the battle for his gallantry, but was badly wounded in the side. Found lying wounded by his servant on the eve of the battle, Robert asked that his armor be removed and a note sent to his wife Elizabeth in case of his death. The servant then stabbed and killed Sir Robert and took his purse and ring. Another wounded man lying nearby recognized the servant, and he was later caught and hanged for the crime. The arms of Sir Robert Goushill would be placed in the Shrewsbury Battlefield Church by King Henry IV.
Robert's Inquisitione Post Mortem was held on 6 Aug. 1403 and mentions his daughters Joan and Elizabeth ages two and one (Joyce was born after his death).
Elizabeth survived her third husband and married again and survived him as well. She then returned to Hoveringham in her last years and is buried with Robert.
