Narrative

ROGER DE SOMERY, uncle and heir. In 1229 he made an agreement with Maurice de Gant, granting to the latter Dudley and Sedgley for 7 years, and undertaking not to marry within that term without Maurice's consent. On 20 April 1230 he was granted protection. In 1233 his lands were seized because he had not come to be knighted; and in January 1233/4 he was appointed to remain at Shrewsbury to maintain order in those parts. On 11 July 1245 he was summoned to be at Chester with arms and
horses; and on 30 July 1247 he had a grant of free warren at Chipping Campden, Gloucester, and Sedgley, Staffs. In 1251 he was in a commission; in May 1253 was going to Gascony; and on 3 November 1253 he was granted free warren at Clent. In December 1253 and January 1253/4 he was with the King. In July 1257 he was summoned to Chester to go to Wales with the King. In 1258 he was one of 12 elected to treat with the King's Council, and one of the 24 appointed by the barons. In 1260 he was summoned to London and later to Shrewsbury, and on 11 September 1261 to St. Albans. In 1262 he was to be warned for building a castle at Dudley without licence. On 23 December 1262 he was summoned to be at Worcester, and on 25 May 1263 to be at Hereford. On 10 August 1263 he was directed to deliver to Hamon Lestrange the cos. of Salop and Staffs; and on 17 October was summoned to Windsor. On 16 March 1263/4 he obtained licence to enclose his manor houses of Dudley, Staffs, and Weoley, Worcs, with a ditch and wall of stone, and fortify and crenellate them. On 30 January 1265/6 he was granted protection as going to the Marches on the King's service. In 1267 he was commissioned with others to hear complaints and to
carry out the terms of the dictum of Kenilworth, and to complete the peace with Llewelin. In 1268 with Philip Basset and others he was elected by the Counties of Hereford, Salop, Staffs and Warwick, to act with the Council of the earls and barons; and was appointed as a commissioner to ordain the aid for a number of countics. In 1268 also he was appointed to settle affairs in the March; and on 28 April 1269 to hear contentions in Wales. On 12 February 1269/70 he was granted a market and a yearly fair at Newport (Pagnell), Bucks; on 16 October 1270 he was sent as envoy to Llewelin. In June 1271 he pronounced a sentence of excommunication against an official of Canterbury, which was subsequently cancelled by the Chancellor.

---

2nd son of Ralph de Someri and his wife Philippa Basset, son of John de Someri and his wife Hawise, daughter of Gervase Paganel and Isabel de Bellomont, daughter of Robert de Bellomont, Earl of Leicester.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 732)

Roger de Someri, 2nd son, had livery of the Barony of Dudley, on the death of his nephew in 1229. He married 1st Nichola, daughter of William de Albina, surety for the Magna Charta, and had four daughters--Joan, Mable, Maud and Margaret. He married 2nd Amabel, daughter of Sir Robert de Chacombe.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 286)

Roger de Somery died in 1273. The writ for the inquisition on his death is dated August 26, and shows that he held lands of his own inheritance in nine counties of England, and also, of the inheritance of his first wife, Nicola de Albini, the manor of Barrow-on-Soar, Leicestershire, and that of Campden in Gloucestershire. The lands of his own inheritance descended, of course, to his eldest son Roger, issue of his second wife, Amabel de Chaucombe, while those of Nicola de Albini were divided among her four daughters.

        The Magna Charta Sureties states that Roger is the son of John de Somery and Hawise de Paynell. However Ancestral Roots has John and Hawise as grandparents with a generation "27a" (obviously a later addition to the original numbering for line
        55) indicating Ralph de Somery and Margaret Marshal. I believe that Ancestral Roots has the latest and correct information.
