"Robert de Venoiz" is his name in Keats-Rohan's Domesday descendants (p.761). His predecessor, probably father, Geoffrey was from Venoix, from which the English family derived its surname. This familywas marshall of the king, not specifically for Venoix. Round claimed that Henry II mentioned a marshal of Venoix as late as 1165/6 but CP shows this to be in error. See Round, J. H. (1911), "The King's Serjeants & Officers of State with their Coronation Services", p.90 and (1899) "Calendar of documents preserved in France", p.157.
