Robert Ogle, 1st Baron Ogle

Sir Robert Ogle, 1st Baron Ogle (1406–1469), was son and namesake Sir Robert (V) Ogle of Ogle (c.1380–1436) and his wife Matilda, daughter of Sir Thomas Grey of Heaton.

Through his Grey relations he had connections with the House of York, as his father-in-law Thomas Grey was executed as a result of the Southampton Plot in 1415, and his cousin, another Thomas Grey, married the earl of Cambridge's daughter; Cambridge had also suffered the same fate for his involvement in the plot against King Henry V. His family came from Northumberland, where his father had been constable of Norham Castle, Sheriff of the honour, and its MP. He died in 1436, at which point Robert Ogle (VI) entered into his inheritance. At some point, he married one Isabel Kirkby of Kirkby, Lancashire, producing a daughter and three sons.

Ogle's career as a servant of the crown began prior to his father's death. In 1434, he was a commissioner of the Truce with Scotland, and a year later appears to have been captain of Berwick Castle, which was worth circa £194 in peace time, with another £200 to be paid in time of war. It was in which post he was captured by the Scots, during a border raid, and ransomed for 750 marks. As the king traditionally paid the ransoms of thos captured on his service, Ogle applied for such; but the condition of the Lancastrian crown's finances at the time were such that he was still trying to get this compensation seven years later. He too took up position Norham's Sheriff and Member of parliament. He was later appointed sheriff of Northumberland.
