"<Robert> is an English name, of course.  It was adopted into Gaelic
quite early, though; we have evidence of its use by Scottish Gaels in
the 14th century and by Irish Gaels in the 13th and 14th centuries.
In a Scottish Gaelic document form the middle of the 15th century, the
name was written <Robert> [9].  In references to Gaels in 13th and
14th century Irish sources, the name was spelled <Roibert> and
<Roiberd> [2, 3, 4, 5].  The standardized medieval Gaelic spelling is
<Roibeard>.  In your period, the name was probably pronounced
\ROH-behrt\ in Scottish Gaelic."
