" .. Robert fil. Richard fil. Drieu, who was to carry on the family at Thurston. He is probably the Robert Dreu who is cited in the Castleacre Priory as witness to a grant of William de Waunci, knight, and certainly the Robert fil. Richard, and brother of Humphrey, who with Herbert, prior of St. Edmund's (1200-20), witnessed a grant to Castleacre, and the Robert de Thurston so called in a Curia Regis suit as to dower claimed by his widow Matilda, Easter 1230."

"A charter of his runs:

'To all men of St. Edmund, french and english present and future, Robert son of Sir Richard fil. Drieu of St. Edmund send greeting. Know all that I grant give and by this my present charter confirm to William Ruffus son of Peter Blund a certain part of my land lying between the gate of my stone house in the part of the French and the lands which Norman the parmenter holds of me..
Witness: William de Hastings, Nicholas de Kent, Humphrey de Criketot, Humphrey and Walter sons of Sir Richard, Robert de Norwich, &c."
