j. A small boy at his father's death, he was a faithful adherent to
King Richard I, and accompanied him to Jerusalem, reaching Acre about
8 Jun 1191. On 7 Sep he distinguished himself in Richard's victory at
Arsuf, and was with the King at Joppa in Jan 1191/92, and in Jun he
fought in the battle when Richard captured the Saracen convoy. At
Mich. 1196, he owed 40 s. for his scutage for the King's ransom, 40 s.
for the 2nd scutage for the army of Normandy and 40 s. for the 3rd
scutage for the army of Normandy after the King's return from Germany.
After Richard's death, he continued to enjoy royal favor under King
John, who in 1199 granted him the manor of Saham in Norfolk. Roger
then recovered his castle of Conches, but in 1203 the King of France
recaptured his castle of Tosni, and in 1204 Roger finally lost all his
lands in Normandy, being one of those excluded by King Philip from the
terms of pacification. But in England, he continued to enjoy royal
favor. In Mar 1204, the King granted him land at St. Botulf, and in
Nov 30 librates of land in Norfolk and 30 librates of land in Devon,
and in Dec 1205, Walter de Clifford was ordered to restore the castle
of Boskeret to Roger. He was living 29 Dec 1208, but died shortly
afterwards, probably in Jan 1208/09. His wife, Constance, daughter of
Richard de Beaumont, hereditary viscount of Maine, brought her husband
in free marriage the manor of South Tawton in Devon. She seems to have
possessed considerable influence and to have enjoyed the favor of King
John, although the King of France confiscated all of her Norman lands.
She was living overseas in 1226.
