Robert Calf (le Veel) of Norragh

✓ Robert Calf (le Veel), baron of Norragh, Co. Kildare (fl. 1378, d. before c.1390), father of Elizabeth Calf, his heir to two-thirds of the barony of Norragh (roughly the later barony of Naragh-Reban East); she apparently had no siblings. Grandson of Bishop Walter Calf's nephew line: DIB makes Elizabeth a great-great-niece of Bishop Walter (d.1332), whose family estates passed to his nephew John - so Robert is taken to be John's son (~ link).
