        ID: I19460
        Name: Roger BERTRAM II
        Sex: M
        Birth: 23 APR 1187 in Mitford, Northumberland, England
        Death: 1242 in Mitford Castle, Northumberland, England 1
        Occupation: Sheriff of Northumberland 1
        Note:
        Roger Bertram II, then a feudal lord, being involved in the proceedings of the Barons, in the 17th of King John, his castle and lands of Mitford were seized, and conferred upon that iniquitous minion of the crown, Philip de Ulcote. He afterwards made his peace and in that year was sheriff of Northumberland, an office which he retained for six years afterwards. After the death of King John, he made homage to Henry III, and by a fine of œ100, procured repeated orders for the restitution of his lands, to which Ulcote continued to turn a deaf ear, until he was informed that if he did not speedily restore the claimant to his possessions, immediate seizure should be made of all his estates in Northampton, York and Durham. This threat succeeded, and the Baron of Mitford soon after became so distinguished for his loyalty that he was frequently employed in state affairs of considerable importance. On July 15, 1220, he was one of the English barons who swore to see Henry III's obligation to marry his sister Margaret to Alexander, King of Scotland, carried into effect. In August following he was a witness to the convention between the King and Geoffrey de Marisco, on the latter being appointed justiciary of Ireland. In 1224 the crown discharged him from the payment of his portion of the scutage of Wales. Roger de Lexington, Roger Bertram and Jordan Hayron were justices itinerant at New Castle in 1225. In 1228 he and others of the northern barons had a mandate to meet King Alexander of Scotland at Berwick and give him safe conduct to a conference between him and the King of England at York. In March, 1237, he was a witness to the agreement made before Cardinal Otto, the Pope's legate at York, respecting the differences between England and Scotland. The sheriff's roll for 1242 credits him for the payment of 30 marks for not attending the King into Gascony; and Dugdale quotes Matthew, of Westminster, to show that he died in the same year. His heir in 28th of Henry III, 1243, is described as in the custody of the King.
