Robert de Sigello (died 1150) was a medieval Bishop of London and Lord Chancellor of England.
Robert was keeper of the king's seal,usually known as Lord Chancellor,from 1133 to 1135. [1] He at one point was a monk at Reading Abbey,where he may have forged charters in favour of the abbey. [2]
Robert was nominated to the see of London by the Empress Matilda [3] and consecrated in 1141,possibly about July. [4] He died in 1150,and as his death was commemorated on both 28 September and 29 September,he probably died on one of those dates in 1150. [3]
