Sir Roger de Northwode (c. 1230 – November 9, 1286), 2nd Baron Northwode, held the posts of Warden of the Cinque Ports and Baron of the Exchequer. Sir Roger de Northwode was a son of Sir Stephen de Northwode, Knight and his wife, Joan. Both parents were born before 1178 Roger de Northwolde married twice: First to Bona (prob de Waltham) and Second to Juliana. He may have been born earlier than, 1230, approximately 1215. Some confusion exists over when he received his knighthood, as it is cited that in September, 1265, when served as steward of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was also "''a knight commissioned in Kent to take the lands of the rebels into the king's hands''". It has also been stated that (again) in September, but of 1275, he received his knighthood. Therefore he was knighted sometime between September 1265-75, this much is certain, and he was thereafter commissioned on numerous public services. Specifically he was appointed Constable of Dover Castle and held this office until about the turn of 1259. He was also Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports after 1255 but before 1258 when he was replaced by Nicholas de Moels. Sir Roger de Northwode 'took an interest in the old monastery of St. Sexburge for it had been long neglected. He made many repairs and donated to the monastery, "wherefore among the servants of God, he is to this day called the restorer of that house."' ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Northwode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
