Robert de Scardeburgh

Robert de Scardeburgh, or de Scardeburg (died after 1351) was an English judge who also held high judicial office in Ireland.

He was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, from which he took his surname. He is thought to have been a nephew of Robert de Scarborough, who was Dean of York 1279-90.

In 1331 he was commissioner of assize for Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, and in the same year he became Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas. In 1332 he received an unspecified reward for his good services in Ireland and a grant of lands at Malahide, north of Dublin city.

In 1344, Fitz-Richard having stepped down, Scardeburgh finally returned to Ireland as Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, with custody of the seals of both the courts he presided over, and the fees attached to them. He was still alive seven years later.
