This Sir Robert is the same as Sir Robert de Lytton, (I). Waiting since May 11, 2020 for that Sir Robert's ancestry to be made public and then merged with this Sir Robert's ancestry.

Sir Robert de Lytton of Lytton in the county of Derby, comptroller of the household to King Henry IV, receiver-general of the Queen's rents in her honour of High Peak, and agister of that Forest was survived by his son Robert (by his wife, Agnes, daughter of John Hotoft, Sheriff of London).
