Roger was Standard-bearer of all Normandy. While DUKE ROBERT OF NORMANDY was away on pilgrimage, Roger went to Spain and distinguished himself fighting the infidels. He returned to Normandy to find the boy William had succeeded his father in the Duchy, and was furious declaring “a bastard ought not to rule over him and other Normans”.

He fought in the Battle at El-Khuweilfe (June 1192) when Richard captured the Saracen convoy. He was with the King at Speyer (January 1194) when the term’s of Richard’s ransom were settled, and Roger’s 4-year old son was offered as hostage, but when this son was passing through Hainault en route to the Holy Land he was detained by his cousin the Count and kept at Mauberge.

Roger died 1209.
