Robert de Pinkeney
Sir Robert de Pinkeney, Baron of Pinkeney was a 13th-century English noble. He was a competitor for the Crown of Scotland and died in 1296.

Upon the death of the Margaret, Maid of Norway in 1290, Robert became one of the competitors for the Crown of Scotland, deriving his claim from his great-grandmother Marjorie, an alleged natural daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, son of King David I.[1]
Robert died in 1296 and was succeeded by his brother Henry.
