  • Sir Gerard Burdet[5] (d. abt 1349), of Arrow, Warwickshire, eldest son and heir apparent, predeceased his father.

  • Isabel Burdet[7] who married Sir John Berkeley of Wymondham, Leicestershire

Notes

  1. the martlets were a difference added to the original Burdet arms based on the fact that Robert's father, Hugh Burdet, was a third son, the difference for whom is a martlet.
  2. which had passed to the Camvilles upon their marriage to Albreda, daughter of Geoffrey, Baron Marmion of Llanstephan
gollark: They added more cores, but Intel don't really have much better architectures. Unless they released Tiger Lake. I should check.
gollark: Sandy Bridge was 2011, and Intel is widely regarded as having not really done much since then until pretty recently.
gollark: I mean, I suppose it could maybe make sense if the original one was a bad dual-core and the new one is hexacore and they didn't run it long enough for it to thermally throttle horribly.
gollark: Intel CPUs haven't,except in core count.
gollark: Not really.
