Roger DE SAMLESBURY

  • Born: Samlesbury, Preston, Lancashire, England
  • Married: Before 14 Oct 1194
  • Died: 1227

  Research Notes:

Roger was holding the estates of Samlesbury, Harwood and Sharples in 1212 following his father's death. Roger, having married Margaret daughter and heir of Walter son of Osbert (de Clifton) without the consent of the chief lord, Theobald Walter, was summoned in 1194 to answer for this default. In 1224 his neighbour Edward de Brockholes demanded half the vill of Samlesbury from him, but after Roger's death accepted 10 marks from Roger's successor in 1227 to resign his claim. 1

--------------------------------

The manor of SHARPLES was a member of Manchester fee. It appears to have been assessed as four oxgangs of land, but one oxgang was in 1212 held of Robert Grelley by Roger de Samlesbury and Alexander de Harwood by a rent of 3s. 2

  Marriage Information:

Roger married Margaret FITZ WALTER, daughter of Walter FITZ OSEBER', before 14 Oct 1194.
