https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_de_Lacy
Roger de Lacy,[1][2](died after 1106) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman, a Marcher Lord
on the Welsh border. Roger was a castle builder, particularly at Ludlow Castle.
Lands and titles[edit]
From Walter de Lacy (died 1085) he inherited Castle Frome, Herefordshire.[3] The
Domesday Survey (1086) shows Roger holding also Ocle Pychard,[4] Almeley Castle,
[5] Eardisley Castle,[6] and Edgeworth Manor. He had an insecure lordship at Ewias
Lacy now known as Longtown Castle on the modern day Welsh border.,[7] in
Longtown, Herefordshire; Stanton Lacy was probably also his after Walter. His main
stronghold was Weobley.[8] He held directly from the King.[9]
Rebel Baron[edit]
He took part in the rebellion of 1088 against William Rufus, with the other local lords
Osbern fitzRichard of Richard's Castle, Ralf of Mortemer, and Bernard of Neufmarche.
[10] He was later implicated in the conspiracy of 1095 against William, and was
exiled.[11]
Legacy of family conflict[edit]
Weobley passed to his brother Hugh de Lacy who died before 1115 when the de Lacy
lands passed to Pain fitzJohn. Roger's son Gilbert de Lacy spent much effort
recovering the Longtown and Ludlow holdings.[12]
