Robert de Maine

Robert de Maine is the Marquis of Calverton. His substantive title, Earl Farnton, is used by his heir, Alfred de Maine, by courtesy, until the latter's death. Presumably, his second son, Lord Philip, is now the Earl Farnton.

Lord Robert is described as 'fair', and of advancing years. He has a 'whimsical sense of humour'. His wife's name is Sylvia; besides their two sons, they have a daughter, Lady Isabel, an especially close friend to their daughter-in-law Eleanor. They also have another daughter-in-law, and at least two grandchildren.
