Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Leicester, pp. 522-523). He appears to
have remained faithful to the young Duke William [WILLIAM THE
CONQUERER (RIN 798)] during the disturbances in the earlier part of his
reign, in the course of which he defeated and slew ROGER DE TOSNY
[TOEINI (RIN 3258)].
Schwennicke's ES 3:700,702-4.
"ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER, born about 1010,
succeeded to the family estates in Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer,
Seigneur de Veulles, Pre'aux, Torville, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur
de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by which last name he came to be generally
described. By his marriage he greatly increased the possessions and
prestige of the family, and he rose to be one of the most powerful feudal
noblemen of his age in Normandy. When WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR invaded
England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels for
the fleet and was left in charge of the government of Normandy when
THE CONQUEROR started on the expedition. He munificently endowed the
Abbey of Pre'aux, of which late in life he became a monk; and dying in
1094 at advanced age, he was buried in this monastery at Ponteaudemer,
Normandy."
