Notizen bei WALTER FITZROGER de PITRES

Walter of Gloucester (also Walter FitzRoger or Walter de Pitres) (d. c. 1129) was an early Anglo-Norman official of the King of England during the early years of the Norman conquest of the South Welsh Marches. He was a sheriff of Gloucester and also a Constable under Henry I.

Walter of Gloucester was the son of Roger de Pitres, and his wife, Adeliza (or Eunice), daughter of Hamelin de Balun, Lord of Abergavenny, and was the earliest to use the style "of Gloucester" in his family. A landholder himself at the time of Domesday, by 1095 Walter had control of the bulk of the estates formerly held by Roger his father and Durand his uncle. In addition Walter acquired other estates by royal grants. These estates were principally in four shires, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Wiltshire.

He was hereditary Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1097 and 1105-6. Sometimes called Constable of England he may only have been constable of Gloucester Castle He recorded as being a constable of the royal household of Henry I from 1114 on. Walter erected or had a part in the erection of the castles of Bristol and Rochester as well as the Tower of London. Walter donated Westwood to Gloucester Abbey for the soul of his brother Herbert and confirmed a grant of Colne by his father Roger. He endowed the canons of Llanthony Priory in Wales with lands from his lordship of Beryntone and retired to the abbey in his old age where he died a monk and was buried in the chapter house, about 1129.

Walter of Gloucester was hereditary sheriff of Gloucester, and appears in Domesday as a tenant-in-chief. He served as Constable of Gloucester Castle under Henry I. He is said to have married Berthe, who may have been related to Hamelin de Ballon, lord of Abergavenny. However another source suggests that he married his mother's half sister Emma de Ballon, daughter of Dreux de Baalon. Complete Peerage states that it is fairly well-established that Walter of Gloucester was son of Roger de Pitres.
