According to Sanders, Robert was granted the barony of his wife's family some time before 1161. He became a monk at Warden abbey 1173-4. His son Richard came of age about 1177.

According to Keats-Rohan, he was probably a son of Robert Foliot d. about 1150 and Agnes de Chesney, and therefore a brother of Bishop Gilbert Foliot.

Notes

During the reign of King Stephen (1135–1154) Warleigh and the manor of Tamerton were held by Sampson Foliot. Risdon states:

"(His) principal place of dwelling was at Warleigh within the same parish, a seat both pleasant and profitable, situated by the Tamer side, having a fair demesne and a park adjoining, wanting no necessaries that land or sea afford".

His descendant Robert Foliot is stated by Pole to have held Warleigh and Tamerton in 1242, during the reign of King Henry III, and to have left an only daughter and sole heiress Ellen Foliot, who married Sir Ralph de Gorges, to whose family passed the Foliot estates, including Warleigh, Tamerton Foliot and Tavy Foliot. Pole states elsewhere that during the reign of King Henry III a certain Sampson Folliot held the manor of Coffinswell, which later passed to the Coffin family.
