This Robert Arundell (of Menadarva, in Camborne) was apparently a bastard son of Sir John Arundell of Trerice (died 1560-61, 3 Eliz): see a note in the Gentleman's Magazine, Sept 1829, pp. 215-16 (copy in AR/29/9). He was left shared interests on many of his father's properties and mentioned in his will and that of his half brother Sir John Arundell.
This deed solves the problem of Charles Henderson, A History of the Parish of Constantne in Cornwall, p.165: 'How Treworvack passed from the Arundells of Trerice to the Arundells of Lanherne, between 1558 and 1659, is very strange. The two families were very remotely (if at all) related to one another. However, Robert;s maternal grandmother was Jane Grenville and her sister Katherine married Sir John Arundell of Lanherne.
