    [VI] Roger de Montgomerie

  • Notes

      !REF:HISTORY OF THE MONTGOMERYS by B.G. de MONTGOMERY 1970
      !REF:THE MONTGOMERYS AND THEIR DECENDANTS by D.B. MONTGOMERY 1903

      Roger inherited, 1050, upon the death of his brothers the feudal domains which stretched from Hiemois almost to the sea. Included were the castles of Montgomery, Trun, Saint-Sylvin, Thuit, and Montaigu-la Brisette; the town of Bernay, and the major part of the forests of Gouffern and Auge. Through his marriage to Mabile of Beleme, daughter and heiress of Guillaume Talvas, the domains were more than doubled and covered almost one third of Normandy.
      Roger provided 60 of the 400 ships from the Norman invasion of England. He commanded the right wing and struck down the leader of a English sally and led the attacking forces through the gap to roll up the English line.
      Roger was created Earl of Arundel and Earl of Chichester in recognition of his services. According to the Domesday Book he owned 150 castles and ten counties. Called the Great Earl, he was Earl of Arundel, Chichester, Shrewsbury, Mercia, and Montgomery. He was also styled Earl of Sussex and Earl of Salop.
      His last years were darkened by failure to bring reconciliation between the sons of the Conqueror and violent rebellion in Wales. Feeling his end near he retired to the monastery of Shrewsbury Abbey, assumed the habit of a monk, and died after a few days of incessant devotion.

      ADDITIONAL SUBMISSION: 4/24/1992 by George H. Morck, CMS 1184. Mr. Morck shows that Roger II was born in 1034. Married 1048 to Mabel de Belleme and they had 9 children.

      Roger de Montgomery II, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, who was
      known as"The Great Earl". He commanded the vanguard of the Norman
      army that invaded England under his cousin William the Conqueror at
      the battle of Hastings in 1066. He died August 1, 1095, and is
      buried in Shrewsbury Abbey, which church he founded. Roger II bore
      may titles: In England he was Earl of Arundel, Chichester,
      Shrewsbury, Marcia and Montgomery, also Earl of Sussex and Earl of
      Salon.

      Roger was married twice: first to Princess Mabile de Belleme,
      daughter of Guillaume Talvas, Prince de Belleme. Mabile was a
      remarkable woman. While her husband was with the invasion of
      England, she led the armies in Normandy and was beheaded by
      assassins in December 1082. After Mabile's death, Roger lived for a
      time in Normandy where he married Adelaide de Puiset and then
      returned to England.
