By his marriage with Amicia, sister and coheir of Thomas son of Robert de Alfreton, he became possessed of a moiety of her father's estates in Alfreton, Norton, and Marnham, held of the honour of Tickhill. By writ of Feb 1242, he had seisin of these estates, having done homage and given security for the payment of his relief Lb.7 10s., the usual render for a knight's fee and a half. Later (27 May) he proffered 100 and 15 marks (in lieu of three palfreys) for wardship of the other moiety, belonging to Thomas de Chaworth, son of his wife's sister Alice, and it was granted to him. By the inquest taken about Christmas, 1242, to inquire as to the knights' fees which should contribute to the scutage of Gascony, it was found that in Notts. Robert de Lathom held two-thirds of a knight's fee in Alfreton and Norton of Alice, countess of Eu, and half a knight's fee of the earl of Leicester in Edwalton of ancient feoffment, while in Lanes, he held one fee in Knowsley, Huyton, and Roby of the earl of Lincoln, and other fees in Childwall, Parbold, and Wrightington, of the baron of Manchester.

Amicia probably died without issue, as these manors did not remain with the Lathom family. In 1252 Robert de Lathom and Thomas de Chaworth received grant of a market at Alfreton; Robert afterwards released to Thomas all his right in the lordship.
