BIOGRAPHY
Roger was a Norman baron in the 11th century. He is the progenitor of the family of Montgommery that played a prominent role in Normandy, England and Scotland.

Roger held land in central Normandy and was one of the young nobles attached to the count of Hiémois, later Duke Robert 'the Devil'. In 1027 when Robert became duke of Normandy he appointed Roger as Vicomte d'Hiémois.

Like his duke, Roger also enriched himself to the detriment of the Church. He attempted, for example, to take over the market of Vimoutiers, to which the abbey of Jumièges had rights, by forcibly replacing it with one in Montgommery (today's Saint-Germain-de-Montgommery and Sainte-Foy-de-Montgommery), that was located in his county. The duke responded to pressure from his uncle Robert of Normandy, comte d'Evreux, archbishop of Rouen; he had Roger's market destroyed and that of the abbey rebuilt, but he later allowed Roger to operate his desired market on his land.

Roger founded the abbey in Troarn, whose inhabitants, twelve canons whose discipline was lax, would be driven out in 1059 by his grandson Roger II de Montgommery, 1st earl of Shropshire/Shrewsbury, and replaced with monks.

After the death of Duke Robert in 1035, Roger seems to have fallen out of favour. The chronicler Guillaume de Jumièges relates that he was compelled to go into exile (the reasons are not recorded), and that he joined the court of Henri I, king of France. It is believed that he was opposed to the underage Duke William. Roger died in Paris, probably in the year 1040.

His five sons lived in Normandy. One of them, Guillaume, murdered Osbern de Crépon, steward of Normandy, seneschal to the young Duke William, in 1040. Another son Hugues would be the father of Roger II de Montgommery, 1st earl of Shropshire/Shrewsbury.Bron 1
