Generation 4 (con't)<br />

Mont-Saint-Michel.<br />

He left Normandy for Spain in [1030/35], fought against the Moors, and lived there for 15<br />

years with his Spanish wife.<br />

"…Rodgerii filii Rodulfi…Rogerii <strong>de</strong> Conchis" subscribed the charter dated to [1040] un<strong>de</strong>r<br />

which "Vuillelmus Ricardi magni ducis Normannorum filius" donated property to the abbey <strong>of</strong><br />

Jumièges. The apparent duplication <strong>of</strong> these names is difficult to explain.<br />

"…Nigelli vicecomitis, Tursteni vicecomitis…Willelmi Arcacensis comitis, Go<strong>de</strong>fridi<br />

vicecomitis, Rodgerii filii Rodulfi, Wimundi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1040] un<strong>de</strong>r<br />

which Guillaume Comte <strong>de</strong> Talou donated property to Jumièges.<br />

Henry II King <strong>of</strong> England confirmed the property <strong>of</strong> Conches abbey, including donations by<br />

"Rogeris senior <strong>de</strong> Toenio et filius eius Radulfus senex et Radulphus juvenis filius predicti<br />

Radulphi senex et Roger filius Radulphi juvenis", by charter dated 1165 or [1167/73).<br />

While in Spain, he married, either Etienette <strong>of</strong> Barcelona or, according to later research, A<strong>de</strong>lai<strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>Barcelona. http://www.geni.com/people/Roger-I-<strong>de</strong>-Tosny-Toni-Toeni/6000000001210374907<br />

Another souce in same Genu refernce says:-<br />

[m firstly (1018 or soon after) ADELAIDA [Papia] <strong>de</strong> Barcelona, daughter <strong>of</strong> RAMÓN<br />

BORELL I Con<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> Barcelona & his wife Ermesin<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> Carcassonne.<br />

The Chronicle <strong>of</strong> Adémar <strong>de</strong> Chabannes records that "Normanni duce Rotgerio", who had<br />

been fighting Saracens in Spain, asked "comitissa Barzelonensi Ermensen<strong>de</strong>…vidua" for the<br />

hand <strong>of</strong> her daughter, but does not name the latter.<br />

It is not clear that "dux Rotgerius" is Roger <strong>de</strong> Conches, particularly as it seems surprising<br />

that Adémar would have accor<strong>de</strong>d him the title "dux".<br />

It is assumed that this marriage proposal took place in 1018 or soon after: if it had taken place<br />

much later, there would have been little reason to have referred to the bri<strong>de</strong>'s mother as "vidua".<br />

In addition, the other events recor<strong>de</strong>d by Adémar in the same paragraph, all relate to 1016/18.<br />

The Chronici Hugonis Floriacensis records that "Rotgerius filius Rodulfi comitis" married<br />

"sororem Raymundi-Berengarii Stephaniam" in Spain, specifying that she later married "rex<br />

Hispaniæ Garsias", but this account is even more confused and clearly conflates several<br />

different individuals. The Chronico S Petri Vivi Senonensi records the same marriage using the<br />

same wording.<br />

The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been i<strong>de</strong>ntified.<br />

"The old castle built by Roger or his successors is <strong>of</strong> prodigious strength, consisting <strong>of</strong> a circular<br />

donjon with massive walls, a ring <strong>of</strong> bastions and walls surrounding the keep, and a large and<br />

nearly circular area, about 300 feet in diameter, enclosed by the outer wall. The fortifications on<br />

the south-east look down a steep <strong>de</strong>clivity to the stream below." (Madan, p.9).<br />

ROGER [I] <strong>de</strong> Tosny [Conches] ([990]-killed in battle [17 Jun] [1040], bur Conches). Guillaume <strong>of</strong><br />

Jumièges records that Duke Richard appointed “Nigellum Constantinensem atque Rodulfum<br />

Toennensem et Rogerium filium eius<strong>de</strong>m” as custodians <strong>of</strong> “castrum Tegulense” (Tillières {Verneuil,<br />

Eure}), which he had built to protect against attack by Eu<strong>de</strong>s [II] Comte <strong>de</strong> Blois. Guillaume <strong>of</strong><br />

Jumièges records that “Rogerius Toenites <strong>de</strong> stirpe Malahulcii qui Rollonis ducis patruus fuerat” was<br />

“totius Normanniæ signifer“, that he travelled “in Hispaniam” when Duke Robert II went on pilgrimage<br />

to Jerusalem, returned after the accession <strong>of</strong> Duke Guillaume II but refused to serve him because <strong>of</strong><br />

his ignoble birth, rebelled against him, <strong>de</strong>stroyed property in particular that <strong>of</strong> “Humfridi <strong>de</strong> Vetulis” who<br />

eventually killed Roger [I] along with “duobus filiis suis Helberto et Elinantio”. The Chronici Hugonis<br />

Floriacensis names "Rotgerius filius Rodulfi comitis" when recording that he left Normandy for Spain.<br />

The Chronico S Petri Vivi Senonensi records that "Rotgerius filius Rodulfi comitis" left Normandy for<br />

Spain with an army in 1015. He foun<strong>de</strong>d the abbey <strong>of</strong> Conches in 1035. Henry I King <strong>of</strong> England<br />

confirmed the foundation <strong>of</strong> Conches by "Rogerius senior <strong>de</strong> Toenio et filius eius Radulphus senex et<br />

Radulphus juvenis filius prædicti Radulphi senis et Rogerius filius Radulphi juvenis", quoting the<br />

foundation by "Rogerius filius Radulphi Toteniensis" for the soul <strong>of</strong> "coniugis meæ Go<strong>de</strong>hildis", dated<br />

to [1130]. "…Rogerii filii Radulfi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1030] un<strong>de</strong>r which Robert II Duke <strong>of</strong><br />

Normandy donated "in comitatu Abrincatensi villam…Sancti Johannis" to the abbey <strong>of</strong> Mont-Saint-<br />

Michel[2483]. He left Normandy for Spain in [1030/35], fought against the Moors, and lived there for 15<br />

years with his Spanish wife[2484]. "…Rodgerii filii Rodulfi…Rogerii <strong>de</strong> Conchis" subscribed the charter<br />
