Roger Devereux was the son of William d’Évreux. There are indications he fought at Hastings as he was rewarded with lands in Norfolk that he held on the Domesday Survey in 1086. A noble’s Tenant-in-Chief in England often reflects the area of Normandy from which they originated. Roger was a follower of William de Ecouis and Ecouis is in the region of Normandy near to Évreux and Rouen which were the main holdings of the Counts of Évreux.
