- Robert Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke and de jure 10th Baron Latimer, KB (1472 – 10 November 1521) was an English nobleman and soldier.
Robert Willoughby was born about 1470–2 (aged 30 in 1502, 36 in 1506), the son of Sir Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (c. 1452-1502) and Blanche Champernowne. He married firstly before 28 Feb. 1494/5 Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Richard Beauchamp, 2nd Baron Beauchamp of Powick, and secondly c. 1509 Lady Dorothy Grey, daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and Cecily Bonville, 7th Baroness Harington. By his first wife he had two sons, Edward, Esq. (died 1517) and Anthony, Knt., and by the second wife 6 children, including sons Henry and William, and daughters Elizabeth, who married John Paulet, 2nd Marquess of Winchester, and Anne, who married Charles Blount, 5th Baron Mountjoy.
He was knighted before 1504. He served in the army in France in 1513, and was apparently to be present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in June 1520.
He inherited the title 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke and 10th Baron Latimer on the death of his father in 1502. On his death on 10 November 1521 at Bere Ferrers in Devon the title went into abeyance. His widow, Dorothy, married (2nd) before 29 July 1523 as his fourth wife, William Blount, 4th Baron Mountjoy.[2][3]

After the death of his son Edward in 1517, he settled the bulk of his family estates (including the Manor of Brook) in Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, etc., on his daughters of his second marriage. Will dated 1 Oct 1521. Sir Robert Willoughby, Lord Broke, died, testate of the pestilence, at Beer Ferrers on 10 Nov 1523 s.p.m.s., and was buried at Beer Ferrers.
