| Notes for Roger DE BIGOD |
"Roger is also [like his father] believed to have served on the Field of Hastings although there is no mention of him in English records before 1079. He was endowed with the forfieted estates of the Earl of Norfolk, Ralph de Guader whose downfall took place in 1074.
"In the Domesday Book Roger appears as holding six lordships in Essex, and 117 in Suffolk. In 1101 he was given the estates of Framlingham by Henry I which were to become the principal stronghold of the Bigods for more than 200 years. Roger de Bigod died in 1107, and was suceeded by his eldest son, William Bigod. He drowned in the wreck of the White ship on 26th November 1120 and Roger's second son, Hugh Bigod inherited all and took possession of the estates."153 |
