Like his father before him, he took part with the confederate barons, and was among the number of those excommunicated by the pope. He was at the battle of Lincoln and was taken prioner. After this, he returned his allegiance and had his barony and lands restored. His only son, William was take as hostage who was later realeased because William adhered to his agreement with the king.

Robert Mauduit, who succeeded before 1196 [Red Bk. of Exch. (Rolls Ser.), 109. 536; Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), 260; Feet of F. Bucks. 13 John, no. 3, 4], joined the barons against King John [Dugdale, Baronage, i, 398]. In 1215, Hanslope Castle was destroyed by Fawkes de Breauté, to whom a grant of the site of the castle and of all the lands formerly held by William Mauduit was made in 1216 [Rot. Lit. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 250b]. In 1217 Hanslope Honour, formerly Robert Mauduit's, was granted to Henry de Brayboeuf [Rot. Lit. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 304], but seems to have been afterwards restored to Robert Mauduit before his death about 1222 [Excerpta e Rot. Fin. (Rec. Com.), i, 87]. He was succeeded by his son William [Ibid. 87, 134, 135; Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), 34b (1½ fees in Northamptonshire), 244b, 252b], who died about 1257, when his heir was his son Sir William Mauduit [Chan. Inq. p.m. Hen. III, file 20, no. 2.]. In 1263 he succeeded to the earldom of Warwick through his mother Alice, daughter of Waleran de Newburgh, the fourth earl [G.E.C. Complete Peerage, viii, 55, 56].
