Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (50:24), (151:25).

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."
