Robert of Torigny records that "Malgerius nepos eius" succeeded as archbishop of Rouen in 1037 on the death of his uncle Robert.

According to William of Malmsbury, he was deprived of his archbishopric by his nephew Duke Guillaume as "he gave too much attention to hunting and hawking, and consumed the treasures of the church in a splendid mode of living" or alternatively that he wished to annul Duke Guillaume's marriage for consanguinity. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Guillaume banished “Malgerius archipræsul Rotomagensis” to “insula...Ghernervia” and appointed “Maurilio Fiscannensi monacho” in his place.
