Keats-Rohan, 'Aspects of Torigny's Genealogy', ''Nottingham Medieval Studies'', Vol. 37 (1993), p. 24〕〔Kathleen Thompson, 'The Norman Aristocracy before 1066; The Example of the Montgomerys', ''Historical research; the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research'', Vol. 60, Issue 123 (October 1987), p. 254〕 Roger held the lands of Saint-Germain-de-Montgommery and Sainte-Foy-de-Montgommery, both of which show traces of early castles.〔George Edward Cokayne, ''The Complete Peerage; or, A History of the House of Lords and all its Members from the Earliest Times'', Volume XI, ed. Geoffrey H. White (London: The St. Catherine Press, Ltd., 1949), p. 682, n. (b)〕 He acquired the office of vicomte of the Hiémois probably about the time Robert I became Duke in 1027.〔Douglas dates Roger I being vicomte of the Hiémois to an earlier period under duke Richard II when Robert I was given the countship of Hiémois. See David Douglas, The Earliest Norman Counts, ''EHR'', 61-240 (1946) 146 n. 1.〕〔Kathleen Thompson, 'The Norman Aristocracy before 1066; The Example of the Montgomerys', ''Historical research; the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research'', Vol. 60, Issue 123 (October 1987), p. 256〕 In he witnessed a charter to the abbey of St. Wandrille by Robert I, Duke of Normandy as vicomte.〔David C. Douglas, ''William the Conqueror'' (Berkeley, Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1964), p. 94〕 Like Duke Robert, Roger began acquiring church properties, among these, , half the town of Bernay.〔Kathleen Thompson, 'The Norman Aristocracy before 1066; The Example of the Montgomerys', ''Historical research; the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research'', Vol. 60, Issue 123 (October 1987), p. 255〕 He took over a wood at 'Crispus Fagidus' which belonged to Jumièges Abbey in the 1030s.〔 He suppressed a market held by the same abbey and transferred it into his own domain.〔Cassandra Potts, ''Monastic revival and regional identity in early Normandy'' (Woodbridge, UK: The Boydell Press, 1997), p. 121〕 He later returned the market to the abbey and paid restitution for their losses.〔 In 1035 at Robert I's death, his great uncle, Robert Archbishop of Rouen ruled Normandy as regent.〔''The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumièges, Orderic Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni'', Ed. & Trans. Elizabeth M.C. Van Houts, Vol. I (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1992), pp. 80-5〕 Roger seems to have lost favor with the young duke as well as his vicomte office as he signed an early charter of Duke William simply as Roger of Montgomery.〔Kathleen Thompson, 'The Norman Aristocracy before 1066; The Example of the Montgomerys', ''Historical research; the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research'', Vol. 60, Issue 123 (October 1987), p. 257〕 At the archbishop’s death in 1037, anarchy broke out in Normandy and among the rebels was Roger de Montgomery, formerly one of Duke Robert's closest companions, who, after being defeated in his own territory, fled to the court of Henry I of France.〔François Neveux, ''The Normans; The Conquests that Changed the Face of Europe'', trans. Howard Curtis (London: Constable & Robinson Ltd., 2008), p. 112〕 Roger had been forced into exile by Osbern the Steward who was afterwards killed by William de Montgomery, Roger's son.〔Kathleen Thompson, 'The Norman Aristocracy before 1066; The Example of the Montgomerys', ''Historical research; the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research'', Vol. 60, Issue 123 (October 1987), pp. 257-58〕 Roger died on February 7th 1055 in exile in Paris, Ile-de-France, France. In 1068 his wife was still holding lands at Bures and Saint-Pair. 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 de Montgomery, seigneur of Montgomery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
